Some of the flowers appear to have been neatly nipped off, or else
dropped off for some reason, and I remember having this frustrating

Birds my man, good ole common or garden birds. Trained I believe by Alfred

Sparrows are the worse culpits. The answer next year, if you have the space,
is to grow at least 2 rows and try and bore them to death.
