I also have had LOTS of problems with sunflowers this
spring. We had a very wet, cool spring and between the
weather and the critters I lost a lot of the early ones that
I started. The latest batch are doing very well and I
expect a lot of sunflowers next month.

Oh, good. It has been way too wet and rainy for seeds here - all my
father's literally rotted in the ground - and I really did want some
sunflowers. I'm in Central VA and this time last week it was 60 degrees
with torrential downpours. Today we're supposed to hit 100. Sigh. So,
you think I can put the sunflower seeds in the ground this weekend and
have some sprouts before too long?
Thanks, Callen
Absolutely worth trying, and it'll probably get you some sunflowers. (I'm
counting on it; I just replanted about five days ago, and mine have sprouted.)
In my experience, sunflowers really do catch up when the weather heats up
after a slow start.
Best,
