Growing Sunflowers

Sometimes I'm amazed that this three-inch plant I see in early June will grow to eight feet by summer's end.
This year I'm venturing into sunflowers to add a splash of color to the garden, and to give the chickens something to feast on come fall.
The bunny living under the chicken house should like them too.

  1. The starlings are walking my garden fence looking for those little seed caps. I plant twice as many suflowers as I want and sometimes still end up replanting. Next year--netting!
