Default sunflowers and squirrels

I am...was...so very proud of my dwarf sunflowers this year.
I grew them from seed, and they ALL came up! All 40 of them!
Happy little sunflower faces...sigh....
Now there are none.
I found 'evidence' along the top of the wooden fence that surrounds
the yard, leading me to believe it was a nasty SQRL! We have rabbits
too but they can't climb the fence.
There are a few sunflower plants that don't yet have flowers. Any
ideas on keeping the evil beasts from eating the next ones to come up?
Thanx!


Ask everyone you know (including yourself) to save those mesh bags that
onions come in. Put them over the developing flowers and tie with any
non-plastic string. Ugly, but they work.
