I started my Sunflowers off inside and they are just getting their second set of leaves. They range between 1 and 4 inches tall.
When would be the right time to plant them outside?
My windowsill is getting pretty full and I need the space but don't want to put them outside too early and I haven't a clue with this weather.
think it's a bit early to plant sunflowers out, have you a cold frame ? :)

Ooh! I can get one sorted. Great idea!
just watch out for slugs, they don't half like sunflowers ;D
Don't you find it amazing how the slugs just love the sunflowers you have tenderly looked after BUT the ones that the birds drop grow tall & strong.

Yes that is strange ???

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep an eye out for them.
I haven't even sown mine yet!!

I'm starting mine this week, apart from the 2 I've found growing outside in the frost and snow, I've potted them on, just watch, they'll die now :o ;D
