Notes
Tossed a heap of seed around, hopefully some of it will take. Two different types – Sunfola (tall and yellow) and evening sun (shorter and reddish). Hopefully if I get a few growing I can get them to self-seed thereafter by just tossing seed around in the right areas.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
