I'm growing sunflowers this year too and am delighted with the way they attract the bees. I've planted them in the ground and they are about 4 - 5 feet tall. Don't want them any taller in my small garden. That's a great idea to keep the seed heads to feed the birds, I'll try that too!

Beautiful photo & your gdn looks perfect. Mine looks a bit muddle compared to yours, but perhaps we shouldn't compare as we all have our different plots.

Sunflowers are irresistible. For years I have had a selection from the mixed seed I put out for the birds. This is the first year there have been none :-( I blame the squirrel!!!

The last squirrel I saw was red, so he is forgiven!
