A LEAF FELL OFF 
Replies sorted oldest to newest
I suspect two lidl green tall plants in my greenhouse (which is really plastic) are weeds
They could be sunflowers
Does anyone know wot a SUNFLOWER looks like in the early stages

Two very fleshy first leaves on a thick stem
Most seedlings have two "pre-leaves" that they first pop out with, but these don't look like the ones they get later and they soon fall off.
I sometimes pin my hair up with a peggie if I can't find my clip!

Lil... I started all this gardening milarky with sunflowers.
I got so carried away that I had about 150 of them that first year.
Was the year of Eugene and Kinga & CO in the BB Secret Garden.... my garden looked like the secret garden with all the sunflower plants in it!

Lovely though. The birds always plant them for me, by spraying seed from the feeders around

Yeah, and the birds love them if you leave them to go to seed (bit ugly though)... we did it last year with a few... and now we have a load of self seeded ones coming up.
Handy though... From about late July - August... any birthdays get a bunch of cut sunflowers from me!

Gorgeous..
Lovely sunflowers. I took it upon myself to do a spot of gardening today in our shared garden. We have a lovely bush and some nice spiky plants but you couldn't see them for all the binder weed that was choking them so I tugged it all up and chucked it on the compost heap. Felt good afterwards as now the plants can grow.

Watch out for that, though. If you chuck weeds on compost and then use it, you might be planting more..

Well, I say compost heap but really it's a pile of all the old branches from the trees that they cut down ages ago. No-one really gardens as it's a shared one, and all the paid gardeners do is cut down all the stinging nettles when they get too big.
Thanks for the advice though Demantoid.
