I stay in Britain and have planted out my small sunflower plants into my garden and they always get eaten before they can fully grow, any ideas what's eating them?

Who would not get interested to learn on how to grow sunflowers in a pot! I am very much overwhelmed to hear these great ideas. I just so love these lovely flowers and I will never hesitate to have a good start in the soonest time.

Through these vital tips, I can grow my all time favorite sunflowers in pots and I can properly manage to care. Time was never wasted watching this video. Good job!

crap..... my sunflower was panted this month... O.O hopefully they don't die soon..

can i eat the seeds? that's what I want!! yummy yummy sunflower seeds!!!

Pinky91461 i don't think roasted ones work unless you've already tried but because there roasted... but maybe salty =) good luck!

why does this person only talk about doing things and never shows you...waste of time

@Pinky91461 Mine started growing from bird seed I set out. Try everything! good luck.

How do you handle young sprouts about 5 inches tall with thin flimsy stem? I tied it to rest beside a straw...is it ok to do it? Any fertiliser needed at this stage?

thanks!

@elmrenz yes, you can. I used to all the time! ;)

@elmrenz Yes. I scattered bird seed in my garden in March and watched as the seeds that weren't eaten grow into healthy plants of various sizes. They flowered in June. Up to 5 foot tall. In Clapham. In south London.

Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and for the nice comments!! I am glad that I entertain you and you choose to watch my videos when there are so many out there! You can find me on Facebook and Twitter under Yolanda Vanveen

Thankyou

Can I plant sunflower seeds in September & expect them to be pretty enough yard decor by Thanksgiving?

Nice video, thanks.

I did that in the house during winter and they grew indoor.....the flower blossomed just in time for the first flies to polenate it outside on the porch during the day

Thanks, Great tips!
