As mentioned on another thread I visited the allotment plot today.
I came a way with half a dozen dwarf sunflowers and three large growing sunflowers. Once home I decided to plant them in my 'wild' area I have purposely left to encourage wild life. I have sown wild flower seeds in it and bird friendly flower seeds. Dwarf sunflowers shouldn't look out of place so I just took small plugs of grass out and planted them. I put slug pellets around each as slugs seem to be drawn to sunflowers and watered each in.
I was pleased to see my Charlotte potatoes I planted in MFB's have finally shown there heads above ground and gave them a good watering to celebrate.
