Hello All,

I got a chance to look at the results that you have got. It is pretty cool.

1. It appears that Mammoth seems to be the hardies of all the four sunflower types (varieties) because, you got 9 seedlings in the OH mix and 1 in the gravel.

2. The potting soil is best for all the other types, because you got germination only in that mix.

This raises a question, why didn't the Mammoth grow in the potting mixture? What do you think the reasons could be- I can think of at least couple. I will share it with you after I hear your thoughts :)

Did you check the viability of the seeds before sowing them? what were the expiry dates on the seed packets?

 

Do you have a picture to share? I would really like to see them!
 

Waiting to hear back from you,
