Ten days of neglect and Storm Hector seem to have done my sunflowers good.

Get them seperated into bigger pots - 3 in each pot. Feed and watch em grow :-)

No need, bigleggy. They're dwarf sunflowers and behind the pots there are lots more to put in the flowerbed, which I can do soon because the pansies are looking past their best now.

(I will probably take two or three out of each of the big pots; I think they might be slightly too crowded.)

All my dwarf ones got munched. Maybe there's still time to plant some more.

I like quantity over quality, and if everyone else's MASSIVE sunflowers topple over I could be in with a chance ;)

Need to start feeding my only tall contender too - I wonder which is better, seaweed extract or tomato food?
