I wish I could say I thought of this myself, but the credit goes to my neighbor. For the price of about two packets of fancy seed, he planted a huge tract of sunflowers with oily sunflower bird seed. There was more than enough to have a field of sunflowers, even with deer and other pest problems. I, on the other hand, planted four packets of sunflower seeds and haven’t seen a single bloom due to the evil deer.
But, I get to see this lovely view from my windows!

We didn’t grow any sunflowers thinking they will never grow. We too look out at our neighbour’s yard with pretty sunflowers.

Yes, it is easier to let the neighbors plant them, isn’t it? I think we have the right idea, there. Hopefully they won’t stop planting them!

That is beautiful. I am always trying to find ways to keep mine upright. Next year I’ll just use the fence line. Thanks for posting this.
