Sunflowers

You’ve got Sunflowers in your back garden ? You’ll be telling us next you’ve got The Scream in your shed. (lol) 😮

That brown bin is very useful for photo work. It makes an excellent stand I mean come on I’m not gonna put a new Lancaster model worth £100 or whatever on wet grass or a new £15 quid firework.

The following photos are for all you brown bin fans 🙂

Why do Andrewman’s photos always have a brown wheelie bin in them?

Best offer she had in years. Being French and new to me.

4 inches?
And you wonder why she was happy?

My wife was growing cress on the window sill a few years ago. I planted a sunflower and it reached 4inches in a few days and she was over the moon – excdept annoyed only one plant was sprouting…..

Yeah we have one with a flower on at last 🙂

7-8ft tall? Any local newspaper will tell you that it needs to be +12ft! 16ft was last years record for us, I think. – Nermal

Damn slugs ate them.

Usual story. I put vinegar on one once and sorted it out I tell ya!! Don’t tell anyone though I might done by the RSPCA for that!

Planted some for the kids this year. Damn slugs ate them.

We had those last year…

1 hints:

– protect them from the wind
– when the flowers are gone, let them on, the seeds will attract birds. Always a treat to see 🙂

Do Blue Peter still run that competition for the biggest sunflower? I think your flower might get more attention there. 😉

We had some massive sunflowers like that a few years back. This year’s crop isn’t as big. I’m not a garden expret by any means but I’d say it’s down to lack of sun.
