Lots of dwarf sunflowers available and I keep meaning to try some different varieties.
This will be my third year growing Sunspot, TeddyBear and SunnySmile. I have lots of
seed. Just started another small tray of 36. I should have bloom all through the holidays.
I pot them up into 4inch 'tall pots'. (6inches tall) at about 4 weeks. Last year I put in
3 muscari bulbs per pot when I potted up. (bulbs spent some time in the fridge first).
They grow very well and bloom under LED's. I grow salad year round under lights so I
may as well tend to some other things while at it.
Having at least three varieties with various bloom time works well. Most stay well under
6-8inches with a random 10inch tall bloom. They stay in 4inch pots.
4 micro tomato varieties at F5 through F8 now. Started mid-August. Terenzo hybrid might
be a good winter grow. I might start a few today. It is a smallish bush type. Last year I
started them around xmas. My first fruit last year and lots of it.
