I planted four large sunflowers near my corn, squash, zucchini,
Eggplant and canteloupe. THe sunflowers are the smallest plants,
having seeded them late.

Something is eating the leaves and leaves just the central vein. They
are completely gone, just a stick pokeing into the air for each leaf.
The surrounding weeds, corn, and everything else is practically
untouched. I see what could be a similar munch or two out of one
zucchini leaf and another munch on a canteloupe leaf.

Is there a bug--worm or something that loves the leaves of the
sunflowr becuase something has gone to town on all four of them to the
exclusion of everything else.

Yeah, me too. I assume that its slugs or something like that.

I keep hearing about how easy they are to grow, but I rarely ever get
any to the blooming stage before some mishap stops them from getting
there.
