Sunflowers ?

[VioletDove]

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.

Sounds about right
