Hey everyone! I'm a newbie to gardening and I've been experimenting with planting flowers in both beds and pots. A few weeks ago, I decided to plant five mammoth sunflower seeds in one pot, thinking only one or two would sprout. To my surprise, all five of them did!
Now, three weeks later, I carefully moved them into a new flower bed. I did my best to keep their roots intact during the transplant, but I'm worried I might have damaged some of them.
So here's my question: do you think my sunflowers will survive and keep growing, or have I harmed them too much? Should I just start over and plant new seeds, or is there still a chance for these guys? I'm really hoping I don't lose the progress I've made, especially since this is my first gardening season! Next year, I promise I won't crowd them in a pot like this again. Thanks a bunch for any advice!

Definitely keep an eye on them! Make sure to fertilize them a bit, but lightly. You've chosen a fantastic sunflower to grow, and I'm sure they'll be okay. Plus, don’t forget to save some seeds for next year! Happy gardening, and best wishes!
