I'm delurking to say 'I'm in!'. I've already sown mine as my DS is having a little friendly competition with his cousin, but can't hurt having a bit more competition :T
They are only about an inch high at the mo and goodness know where I will plant them. I can't remember what they were, will edit later. Hopefully they are a tall variety otherwise not much point. I should think they were though.

Now wonders if there should also be a pet / wild animal food class?
Why? Some of my best sun flowers when the kids were little were those planted from the hamster food.:T:D

Ok what's your address and I'll post a random selection to you and you can plant them at the weekend.
Probably the same time as me, as erm I've still not done mine - the cat is sleeping on my knee and gets upset if she gets moved so........0
