A sunflower year in the garden

We were rather over-zealous in planting sunflower seeds recently and now we've more than 60 little seedlings at the stage where they needed re-potting before they grow too big for their small pots. Last night we spent a fair bit of time separating clumps of 8 or 10 seedlings into 1's and 2's and potting them into new pots. The only thing we didn't have is something to put those pots on to stop water leaking all over the kitchen surfaces. However we found inspiration in our recycling bin and now our pots are sitting on a varied assortment of plastic food trays from chickens, sausages and a range of tasty meaty products.

In a couple of weeks, after some hardening off, I think the sunflowers will be ready to brave the garden. With the amount we've got it will be quite some display and we'll certainly have plenty of seeds left for next year!!!
