How do you handle young sprouts about 5 inches tall with thin flimsy stem? I tied it to rest beside a straw...is it ok to do it?

Any fertiliser needed at this stage?

@Pinky91461 no, they're dead.

[Pinky91461]

can you use roasted and salted sunflower seeds to plant them in a pot?

@elmrenz

yes, you can. I used to all the time! ;)

@elmrenz Yes. I scattered bird seed in my garden in March and watched as the seeds that weren't eaten grow into healthy plants of various sizes. They flowered in June. Up to 5 foot tall. In Clapham. In south London.
