“Sad to report the death of all sunflowers except 1.”
Sorry that happened. I’m going to grow the ones I have sprouted (Sunspot) in grow bags and make a decent net cover over them so varmints can’t get to them. That will take some rigging to get the net far enough away from the plants that the varmints can’t reach them. That is the plan. I’ll do it in the next few days.
I am replanting in that spot, and also a pot or two. I did read that sometimes, when the spring is wet, the sunflowers are more susceptible to diseases.
I’ll probably spray them with my all purpose homemade cayenne spray too hoping to discourage critters.
