Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm not sure whether to try since I'll be away on holiday twice at important sunflower management points.

I'll be away for nearly 3 weeks end of April/beginning of May - my seedlings won't have a chance. But I live in hope :-)

I shall be away almost all of May, I have seeds left from last year so nothing lost if I am unsuccessful.

Don't worry about going away. Get then used to being outside and they'll cope :-)

I'll be going away while there's still a chance of frost, and for too long to keep them indoors without watering them. But if I plant the seeds in the next day or two and they survive being outside at the end of April, the June trip won't be so much of a concern.

Goes to rummage in the garage. I have some seeds from last years flower heads. Will try a few of those to see if they are viable.
