We'll soon be launching an exciting new mass experiment called Turing's Sunflowers, and this week The One Show featured our project with interviews with project manager Erinma Ochu and the mathematician behind the project Jonathan Swinton.
BBC gardener Monty Don also had some planting tips for growing the best sunflowers. The top tip? It's still cold outside, so allow the seeds to germinate inside first until the weather warms up!
You can watch the programme again here on BBC iPlayer.
We need you to help plant sunflowers and contribute to our experiment, inspired by Alan Turing.
We'll be launching full details about the project soon, but in the meantime find out more about Turing's Sunflowers, sign up for news and join the sunflower revolution!
