Beware the Birds...,

"I purchased these seeds to make a sunflower garden for my daughter.
I grow in a 8x8 foot raised bedand found I probably should have bought two packets of seeds even with the recommended spacing of plants.
Also, I have many birds in my neighborhood, which I did not have the first time I grew sunflowers (10 years ago). To my best ability to hide the planted seeds, many became snacks for the birds.
I purchased Burpee sunflower seed varieties from my local gardening store to replace this packet- but two from this packet survived.
They grew to over 15' in height and their flowers were each over 12 inches wide. They were immense.
I'll try again next year, but I am going to start the seeds indoors and put a fence for rabbits around my garden.
This was fun, and my daughter enjoyed seeing how fast and large these plants can grow.
Just watch out for the birds."
