I walked around my garden when the temperatures rose to the 50s. I took pictures of the dried sunflowers. The sunflowers bloomed almost up to the time of the first snowfall. I left many of the sunflower stalks in the garden, because of the birds. The birds like to eat the sunflower seeds. They also like to perch on the sunflower stalks in the wintertime.
@milaniet Thanks. I wish I could say that all of the sunflower stalks are still straight. Some have been knocked over by the high winds and some have been knocked over by birds who have landed a bit hard on the stalks. We are talking a few more broken stalks to the city's brush collection site today.
@sangwann Thank you. I am not certain if the bump is part of the sunflower or some creature. I am not tall enough to look at this closely until the sunflower stalk comes down.
