RE: Plant Rotation In Your Garden: Why It's Important
I have eight sunflower seedlings right now- Dwarf and evening sun and I am planning on using them along the back of the property's edge as like a its own fence. I figured the birds in the woods behind our house would enjoy the treat come autumn.
That sounds wonderful. Evening sun sounds so pretty! We get a lot of birds here in the spring, it's crazy! The first year I planted sunflowers I woke up to find a kazillion holes where the seeds had been. Then later in the season we found sunflowers growing in random placed from where the birds dropped them. Last year I had to cover the bed with a tarp until the sprouts popped up. New lessons every year!
The evening sun ones are a bright orange and I think will contrast against the woods nice.
Oh man! I hope I don't find random sunflowers all over the area- I think my neighbor wouldn't like that.
I covered mine with coffee filters towards the end to keep the birds away but I only had four plants. This year I'll have more so I won't be as stingy.
I'll have to take a look for some of those, they sound lovely.
