4.) Push
the seeds into the soft
soil. Make sure they’re
down at least one
centimetre ( 10mm ).
5.)
Water gently with a
watering can and don’t
let the soil dry out (
but don’t give the bed
so much water that it
makes puddles and drowns
the seed ).
6.) As
the plants grow, keep
them well watered.
7.) Feed
every couple of weeks
with liquid plant food
and seaweed solution.
8.) Spread some old leaves or grass around the base of the plant
to keep weeds from growing and help prevent the roots drying out.
9.) The
sunflower should reach a
good size after about 10
weeks.
10.) If
you pick the large
flower on top of the
main stem, smaller
flowers will grow on the
side shoots.
Remember
to always:
Wear shoes to
protect your feet and
always wash your hands
well after gardening.
