That's a good idea, Liz.  And I suppose I could plant those that germinate
in a small pot until the weather gets more sunflower friendly.  I always
have trouble throwing baby plants away.  (Yes, I have trouble thinning too!
I am getting better at thinning carrots, though.)

                                   Thanks,
                                        Jill
