Hi
I started about 13 Giant sunflower seeds off in pots a few weeks back, and have recently transplanted them to a bed in the garden. I noticed that there where a few spindly ones that were getting crowded by the strong ones (and they had a few brown leaves?), because I'd accidently planted them too close together as seeds. I had to pull the little ones out to leave the stronger ones room to grow.
I hope this was the right thing to do? (I actually feel a bit mean.. yes I'm a serious softy )
and another question- when do sunflower plants need staking? and how can I ensure they grow well? I've never grown sunflowers before.
