Sunflowers


Sunflowers

I'm scared to out my sunflowers out. Every year they've either been eaten by slugs n snails or snapped by the wind. So I'm keeping them safe in the potting shed for a while longer.

I put a lot of mine in whiskey barrells, greenfingers.
I just put the first few out, and I have lots left if they get killed by frost.
They're so high off the ground that no slugs or snails get up there, and I stake with bamboo sticks put right down in the barrell that I pull up as the sunflowers grow.
