Sunflowers ?

[BIAD]

I planted a few sunflowers several years ago. They must like my soil here because they’ve since started popping up everywhere. My husband and I often disagree on whether or not to pull them up when we see them growing in our garden. He sees them as a nuisance but I think they are pretty and I like to let them grow.

Recently, a brochure came through my door with a small sachet of sunflower seeds attached.
Finding only four seeds in it, I decided to plant them and keep them watered under glass.

Result...? At this point in early April, nothing.


Recently, a brochure came through the door of my ninety-seven year-old mother-in-law with a small sachet
of sunflower seeds attached. Finding five seeds in it, I planted them in pots outside of her kitchen door
and instructed her water them regularly. Something she chose to ignore.

Result...? At this point in early April, five small shoots.
