My zucchini seedlings are growing bigger and stronger. Some got eaten so there’s fewer now - but that’s possibly a good thing as I didn’t have as many pots as plants.
I also sowed some more Paris Market carrots and spinach for baby spinach. I won’t get much because the window boxes are tiny. But I have the seeds and it’s something to do.
The sunflowers I planted don’t seem to be doing much. As far as I can see one has sprouted.
I think sunflowers need a really strong start, lots and lots of food and water to get going or they don't seem to do much at all.
Ah ok, I’ve really dropped the ball on that.
I could either start some more inside for easier attention - or if they hate transplanting that much I could try and get out there more often with diluted Powerfeed in the watering can
