17/05/17. Found two dead sunflowers in my rosemary bush! I'm surprised there actually growing! #sunflowers #seeds #growth #seedlings #sunflowerseeds

@sarahflamingo did you just germinate them in wet paper towels? Slugs got my first batch, and the second batch just haven't come up at all in pots. Might give this a try!

sarahflamingo
Yep @Mikekally . It's as simple as that. Just placed them on a wet paper towel on a tray. You can put a plastic bag over it but I've got it in one of those mini greenhouse. You can put another damp towel over than but that patch didn't do so well.

Mikekally
Am so doing this! Thanks!

sarahflamingo
Your welcome @Mikekally . Good luck!

Note to self - I know you want a lot if sunflowers and you thought this wouldn't work but don't just try and use them all.
19/05/27. Put them into pots! It's weird to think that these little seedlings are going to become big sunflowers. #seedlings #sunflowers #repotted #planted #seeds
