Sunflowers at home

Inspired at home

I thought I would have a go at growing some plants at home, if only to keep a better eye on them and have at least something to eat this year! The grow bags were a bargain from Homebase (£2.50 on a 15% off day) and in them are tomatoes, kale, pepper and chillies. There are four bean plants on the right, either side of two sunflowers which are doing really well, bless them (my son planted them at a friends house ages ago). This is my front garden, which faces South-East. I also have a pot with three tomato plants in my back garden, which are flowering at the moment.

Planting seeds

Planted these with the children today. Sweetcorn, Courgette, Peppers, Thyme, Sunflowers. I need to cover some with plastic to keep them warm. No idea if they'll work or not, as some of the seeds are quite old. Some Sunflowers have already sprouted on the left, planted at a friend's house a few days ago.
