The one and only by swillinbillyflynn

The one and only

I planted about a 100 sunflower seeds and most of them sprouted. I nurtured them in my greenhouse and when they were ready I planted them all over the garden......... They were then smitten by a plague of biblical proportions. A host ravenous sluggy buggy snaily wiggly and nasty bugs ate the bloody lot in the space of a couple of days....... apart from this one survivor. Not sure what to do next year as I love sunflowers.

Any advise on stopping marauding plant munchers would be greatly appreciated. :)
Beautiful. Fav!! 😀

my son had this problem, but the remaining specimen did very well being an only child. i planted some later than he did and thought i would win by sheer numbers, chucking dozens of seeds into a small area and what do you know they all grew,,, very small . the story is the critter like beer and drown in it but i have seen a video of a snail imbibing and wandering off on a zig zag., so the best thing is to go out at night with your cutlass and a torch and give em what for. speaking of which the pirate culture should be rich subject matter fora selfie this week, yes?

It's beautiful! Maybe just try letting it seed and see what pops up next year might bring a bigger crop. Terrible bugs and slugs.....ugh
