Well ferst ov all heer ar the fotoes ov the sunflowers from Fryday.
Since theez wer taykun, they hav all mostly wiltid an given up!
Weer not shor wat to do.
Mummy sez maybe pik owt a good wun from eech pot, then repot it on its own an cut it bak. See if that helps it.
I don't kno wat went rong- we kept them owt ov the too-hot sunny playses, but kept them in the lite. An we kept them warterd an no, I dident pee on them. So it's a bit ov a mystry reelly. Hey ho!
If yu hav eny advice pleez tell me- an kwikly!!!!!!

Hmm, not sure what to suggest re the sunflowers. Ours are just sprouting so we'll see how they fare.
Well done to you ma on Race for Life, ours does it next month.

D'oh I suspect sabotage! You've still got time to plant some more methinks. Mummy and Dilly look like they meant business! I'm heading over to Dilly's place now.
Lynda,
Thanks for donaytin, Lynda!
As fer the sunflowers.... hmmm.. bit disappoyntin but we havent given up yet!!! Maybe we will jus sprinkol sum owtside!
Better still, maybe we will sprinkol sum in the garden nex dor, where the pillok livs. HAHAHAHA!
:@D
Oh noes!! Did you talk to the plants? did you sing to them? did you kiss them? Maybe you should dance or something!?
Aww, Dilly looks so cute a girly. Way to go for Race for Life participants! :)
Oh no! They look a bit leggy (that's a technical term I'm been told to use). My plan would be to find some more seeds and put 'em straight in the ground outside where you want them to pop up. I've planted some, but haven't been able to wrestle the camera away from you know who yet to take pictures. But I will. I'm a determined bear.

Well done mum for doing the race!
Hope the sunflowers perk up!
I ended up planting mine deep in the soil because they are so spindly when you start them inside. Next year, I'm planting mine straight outside and not starting them in the house.
I don't think it was Bob's poo, jus the way they are!
I want to participate in the walk for life (ours was last weekend) but my foot still isn't up to it!
No Cool Story,
Oh Lor!!!!!
THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!
DILLY WAS SINGING TO THEM THE UTHER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah well this explaynes evrything!

Hey, Bob!
BUmmer about the sunflowers. I do NOT have a green paw, so I have no idea what could be going on. I hope you don't have to start over, but if you do, I think it's a great idea to plant them straight in the ground. Why not?
Your mama and Dilly are VERY COOL for doing the race for life! I'd like to do that sometime with my girl, and run for my aunt Kelly. She's a cancer survivor and we all in GooberStan REALLY love her!
Goober love & smooches for you AND the sunflowers,
Stanley

I see Dilly DID put a bow on her flower pot. I thought for SURE that would help!
Bob and Dilly,I'm sos owwy I missed you in my photos of Blue's pawty..I must have been thwee sheets to the wind by the time you awwived and stopped taking pictoowes..I'm desolate ovew youw sunflowews ..I was wooting fow them..maybe they pwefew to be outside???

Good fow youw Mum!!! WE can't help wight now,cause we'we supew bwoke..but we'we wif you in spiwit

They need to be separated and need to be planted outside if its warm enough. I enjoyed the pics of your cancer walk on Dilly's blog too...Wonderful that you all got to go.
Praise Mummy and Dilly . Take a few good ones and plant deeply in the pot or ground. Some real sturdy stems
that is too bad they wilted...I would try to plant them outside and see if it helps. have a great week bob!
I don't know anything about sunflowers, but I do know that I like your hat!
Oooooooooo! Wish I had space for a sunflower. Good luck. And whatever you do - keep Madame away from your sunflowers - she is the Death of Green Stuff!
Bob, so sorry to hear about your sunflowers, I am also trying to grow stuff, some of which is succeeding, and some is failing miserably!
Thanks for your concern, I'm afraid that I don't have a bear to look after me, but I do have a lovely black cat who needs lots of cuddling and spends her time looking after me instead!
I think it must have been the sudden heat that did it! The race for life looked like a lot of fun :-)
Mee yike dat u ah waowin duh Kowboy hat mee sent u! U wook vewee handsum!
Wuv,
Chuck

Yes, Dilly put a bow on her pot. HA! I wunderd whare she had got that idea from!
:@D
Dear Bob and Dilly,
It's not your fault, it is your soil! Your seeds are probably dying off from the terrible bacterial disease called "Damp Off." It's a bacteria in dirt that kills off all seedlinga. Yes, you can try saving the best, but not probably gonna happen.
The good news is, it doesn't take sunflower seeds long to come up again, but they need a good start with "soiless potting mix" or, better yet, "Seedstarter soil." These are both sterile soil used by container gardeners like us -- the Garden Gals (Teddy T. and Spaulding's wives and daughters, but we're the wives, a'cuz a properly written 'splanation is required!)
Also, before putting the soil into the pots, you need to sterilize the pots too, using hot soapy water and a little chlorine first. Scrub hard, a'cuz pots can be sneaky 'bout keeping their much loved soil. If'n you fear the pots are too hard to clean (self-watering pots have a bunch of crevices that are impossible to reach), use new pots.
Now, of course, bear or crocogator fertilizer is good for the soil, so that's not the cause. (Our hubbies have been fertilizing everything for us now. We had to stop them from fertilizing their own grill at one point!)
Don't worry 'bout starting over. We just started sowing our sunflowers last week, and we still have plans to grow smaller ones, (Teddy Bear Sunflowers) too, so we know there is plenty of time left in the gardening season to sow more seeds.
Hope we helpeded!
Your Lucky Gnome-Magic Gardening Gals,
Valentine T. and Lady T. Bears
