I think it’s time…

They have been blooming all summer…

IMAG0577 The birds have  really enjoyed the feast.

IMAG0578But they are starting to look pretty wilted, and only small deformed buds are blooming.

As much as I hate to, I think it’s time to take them out .

IMAG0579Since this is the first year I have ever grown sunflowers, I don’t really know what to do with them. IMAG0580So I have a few question:

Do I cut them down and they will grow back? 

Or do I need to take them out completely and start fresh again with new seed?

Can I grow another crop before winter, or is it too late to grow anymore this year?

IMAG0581

hmmm…sounds like something to google (unless you know the answer).

It’s not only the birds that will miss these sunflowers.

    There's a certain, unique beauty in something that's past its prime. You can see glimpses of what it once was, and what might be when the next generation takes its place.

    These are lovely. I've always wanted to grow sunflowers, but never got around to it. Must change that!
