Wednesday was another day of sunny spells, mild with just the occasional light shower. Most of our rain fell in the early hours of the morning.
We spent the afternoon harvesting on the plot and did have to take to our shed once for a cup of coffee and some shelter from a short shower. The details of our harvest can be found here.
Some of last years sunflower seeds survived winter and have grown into excellent strong plants much better than the ones we are growing from seed this year. They are providing some extra early colour in our mixed flower and vegetable bed before our sweet peas come into bloom. It just shows that a little care when weeding can produce some excellent results. The sunflower seedlings could easily have been pulled up along with all the other weeds in spring.

A weed is just a plant in the wrong place ☺ but I refuse to accept Sunflowers are weeds, wherever they pop up.
ReplyDeleteEspecially as a combination of lousy weather and lack of attention on my part means I don't have any this year ...
We thought we might transplant next years weeds into the right spot and convert weeds to plants. Don't suppose for one minute it's a reliable method though just a little hit or miss.
