Evidence? What evidence do squirrels leave on a fence; paw prints,
DNA? I seriously doubt squirrels got your sunflowers, not if the
entire flower head is gone. And btw, because of their configuration
and how they grow sunflower seeds are essentially bird and squirrel
proof. I've watched squirrels and blue jays have conniptions trying
to find a way to get to my sunflowers, can't be done. I'd suggest
thinking about raccoons, they can easily scale most any fence and
they'd have no problem ripping off the entire flower heads and
carrying them off.




well your blue jays may have problems with it, but the turtle doves here
love the sunflowers...........they scatter quite a few seeds, but they get
the job done!


Same with the cardinals here.

I don't believe yoose... unless what yoose call sunflowers ain't. No
bird on the planet can scavange a real sunflower while it's still on
the plant... just not a possibility. The sunflower head grows upside
down, and has a natural barrior all around the circumference that no
bird or squirrel can penetrate. I've been growing sunflowers for nigh
on 50 years, no bird or squirrel has ever gotten to my sunflower seeds
until I whack off the flower and allow them access.

I don't know what kind of wussy pansies yoose grow but these are
sunflowers:

Whatever you say, Sheldon. My 7 foot tall sunflowers, grown from a packet of
seeds labeled "sunflowers", are not really sunflowers. And, the birds which
look look just like all other cardinals are actually cockatiels.

A fine waste of breath Joe. Just leave the man alone on his street
corner, telling at the sky. God protects drunks and fools and Sheldon
must be covered by both.

And if he had a dog, he wouldn't need that butt-ugly welded wire crap
encircling his home, protecting his stuff.

Most of us are happy when diaper-changing days are over, and prefer not to
be cleaning up crap for other creatures. It's nice to be able to wander out
in the yard at night, without having to watch where you're stepping.

Yea, but most of us don't hate dogs with a passion that will never
die. At least here in wreck.gardens I'm afraid it's only you who
lets such hatred cloud his heart (and mind!).

It's not hatred. It's realism. You probably don't much like mosquitoes, and
you probably kill a few now and then when they affect you too closely.
There's no fundamental difference between a dog and a mosquito.

Then, there's coprophilia, something which many dog owners are afflicted
with. Why they don't seek treatment is unexplainable.

The birds empty/eat all of my sunflower heads before the end

Woodpeckers can all eat from upside down just fine. I wonder
where Sheldon lives that he doesn't have any of these birds
around...

Some old picts of my sunflowers can be found he

wrong.
