The summer garden would not be complete without the giant sunflowers growing over the garden fence! The birds and the bees love lighting on them and eating from the large dinner plate offerings.
To be honest I was not ever this interested in sunflowers. I thought it didn't belong in a garden if it did not produce food or ward off the bad bugs. But my dear husband insisted on sunflowers so I threw seeds along the fencerow (162 feet of it) and the flowers that have opened their faces to the sun are the most glorious shades of yellow, orange, burgandy and brown. (I had many different varieties that I just alternated along the fence.) Now I am so glad that I did.
So are the birds and the bees!
