i've always wanted to grow sunflowers.. in the past, i would plant plenty of seeds, but i had chickens, and keeping chickens from scratching up something as delicious as sunflower seeds was impossible.. this year, i am without chickens.. i sure do miss my feathered flock.. maybe one day i will have chickens again, tho right now i am enjoying the wildlife.. but back to my sunflower.. so of all the seeds i planted, only one took root.. i've been watering and nurturing this one.. just this morning i was admiring it.. it had surpassed me in height and had a nice bulb, the beginnings of a gorgeous sunflower head..
and then i come home from an errand to see this..
i suspect a squirrel.. i have many of these mischief makers, always trying to get into something i don't want them in.. i love my squirrels too.. so back to the drawing board on sunflowers.. maybe next year.. [rolls eyes & laughs]
