Growing your Sunflowers
Find a pot about the size of a tin of beans
Fill your pot almost to the top with good soil or compost
Push one seed into the compost with your finger or a small stick
Water a little, then keep watering only when the compost gets dry
Place in the sunniest place you can inside e.g. a windowsill
Watch your sunflower grow!
