Next door's lad admired my sunflowers last year and pestered Mum to do
his own this year. A couple of days ago, I saw them putting the seeds in
the ground. I muttered about shouldn't they really go in pots indoors
because of frost, squirrels, etc. but apparently the instruction say
that's not necessary.

This morning, the kid looks out of the window and shriek! the local grey
squirrels are feasting :-(

Wire grills are now over the pot but I expect it's too late.
