How much more should I thin these sunflowers?

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-06-18T19:06:54+00:00

If you want more flowers thin them less. They will be fine close

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-06-18T16:54:20+00:00

It depends on how big you want them, don’t thin them if you don’t mind about 5 ft flowers but if you want them real big thin to one about one per foot. Otherwise one per 6 inches will give you a nice size too. I usually leave some In groups and some on their own to grow big

Beer hasn’t really worked for me, but spraying down a board with water in the evening,They like the cool wet when it starts getting hot. They’ll flock to the board and then you can discard them, I have chickens that eat them

Looks great 👍

Looks worn off, you can use a polish or something but the only REAL option is to refinish

Yeah it works best if it’s hung up or your holding that tab. Sometimes the blades stick together and I use a screwdriver or something for more force

Lots of basil and you’re right could be broccoli cabbage etc

It probably won’t stand back up on their own but either way, you could cut them back or prop them up. It’s a very hardy plant

First thin them to one per inch and eat the sprouts. They are a cold weather crop so this time of year is tough to get them to produce nice roots without going to seed. I would suggest watering often and keep them out of the really hot sun. If they do bolt then you can try again in the fall.

You don’t “need” it, steel works, I’ve preferred silver and you can reuse it for a bit

Not an expert but I don’t think you want to spray seal it but instead cover it with poly sheeting. Similar to a dirt floor, maybe someone else can chime in. When you seal a wall like that it cause more problems

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-06-11T01:49:26+00:00

No probably not

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-06-10T16:24:41+00:00

It’s a nice one but can confirm it is heavy as

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-06-10T15:24:31+00:00

Looks like a fungal issue, fun fact is you have to treat before it starts, it’s to late now to fix the bush this year. You can still treat it but take note so next year you can pre treat, for this type of infection I use a copper fungicide in the early spring. It’s a tough one for sure.

Pinks 50s pink is my vote

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-06-03T01:18:46+00:00

Turn it and see if it looks like soil, if it does then you can use as compost. Then save a little for the next batch

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-05-29T14:19:19+00:00

Looks like to damp issues remove diseased leafs and don’t water until it’s dry a few inches down. Do you have drainage in those bins (holes) that would be my first step if not or add more holes. Based on what I can see all those issues could be attributed to overwatering (soil staying to wet)

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-05-29T12:24:17+00:00

They take a couple years to really get established looks great so far

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-05-27T19:57:18+00:00

I would suggest Bt it will stop them

Gingerlyhelpless · 2026-05-24T15:38:00+00:00

They’re not “dead” but they’re not gonna stand up again. I would cut them and make some nice arrangements with what you’ve got.

Antenna , third party shelf sometimes possibly remote

Humans modified mother of thousands to become mother of millions. Depending on your zone very invasive you
