24 giant sunflower mix from a different old seed swap
47 self saved sunflower mix
If half of them germinate it’ll make a pretty good display. It’s going to look fabulous!
currently having a break near Oban - so not the right time to get on a Cal Mac to Mull! Unfortunately your absolute right. avoiding ferries right now is a very good idea. They are in complete chaos! That’s a really shame because you’d be more than welcome to come for a visit  .

I sowed seed of Nicotiana Sylvestris which I saved last autumn. I adore these and highly recommend growing.

The seeds are tiny, like petunias and snapdragons, but once they grow they're undemanding and even just a few plants can make a dramatic statement.
I particularly like that they don't snap even when it's very windy. Last year the heads of my sunflowers were blown clean off, but the nicotiana withstood all weather.
