I grew 2 last year from bird seed - both reached 8 ft with good heads.

Not sure what else is in there but looking out of my window just now......a
lesser spotted woodpecker seems to approve.

Good luck

Hi,

just paid nearly £2 for some Sunflower seeds.

Paid not a lot for a big bag of bird seed, which contained (amongst other
things) what look like sunflower seeds.

As I refilled the bird feeder I spilled my seed upon the
ground...oooerrr...Onan, stop that!

So I decided to pick out the sunflower-looking seeds and plant them in a
pot.

Looks like they are germinating, so I am now wondering if birdseed is a
cheap bulk seed source - wonder what else is in there :-)

No idea how they will turn out, but I have always wanted to grow
sunflowers
but never quite got round to it.

Cheers
Dave R
