Also have some left - have been meaning to plant them for a couple of days, but not a priority.

20x Gelbe Reisen planted: 12x individually, 8x in pairs. Trays in greenhouse. Last year I saw some gardens with impressive stands of sunflowers, being crammed together seemed to be doing them no harm. So i may also try some block planting, as well as individual rearing.
