I have read that clean, crushed up eggshells placed around the seedlings will keep snails and slugs away because they can't crawl over them. I have a windowsill full of washed eggshells to put all around these when I plant them outside! I hope they grow. I have a turtley idea for them!Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075197167753448907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397047145723487645.post-2923842855818510582011-05-21T09:21:34.135-04:002011-05-21T09:21:34.135-04:00Very cool!

Haven't had a sunflower since I was a kid. This is how old I am, they gave sunflower seeds in sealed cups with dirt at McDonald's when you bought something! Ha ha that thing was huge! I even named it though I can't remember the name now. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397047145723487645.post-51415304433341584602011-05-20T22:40:39.193-04:002011-05-20T22:40:39.193-04:00These are looking wonderful!

They did well, until the snails and slugs gobbled them up out of the garden! <br /><br />We're trying again. (I really want some macro shots of sunflowers.)Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758902060937156702noreply@blogger.com
