Sunflowers


One of the joys of gardening is to watch as the sunflower plants begin to grow. This year is no exception. I have right now three growing in the garden, one with a large flower and two with medium flowers. I think the large may have been a seed from last year that was in the ground. It is amazing how tall they grow and still manage to stay upright. From the way bees are flying around I suspect there will be a lot of seeds.

I was asked recently what I do with the seeds and my answer is this, I leave them for the birds and squirrels. After all it is there food.
