JY-NORMOUS SUNFLOWERS


A few months ago Denise and I planted some sunflowers in our yard. They were supposed to grow to 12 to 15 feet tall. Well....didn't quite happen. In their defense I did plant them in a place where very few things have grown (other than weeds and yucca). I watered them pretty often hoping for a towering cluster of seeds.....
A little over five feet ain't too bad. I'm still looking forward to the clusters.....but they'll be eye level. I hope they survive our bird population. We have a bird feeder in our front yard.....they've been known to wipe that feeder out in a matter of hours. We do have a lot of pretty birds in our neighborhood. We enjoy watching them.
