Never again will I just plant the sunflowers way out in the vegetable patch. We're keeping them up close from now on: for the birds and for those of us who love to watch the birds.

We noticed a large flock of goldfinches last evening, jumping from fruit trees, to berry vines, to grapes and to the dripping water at the fish pond.... a lovely time of year.

Thanks for the link to Mother Earth News - I was just wondering what I should do with ours... We saw fields and fields of these in their dying back stage in California on our way to Tahoe.
