Volunteer Army




These are my backyard volunteers. The birdseed I put out not only feed my birds but fill our backyard with dozens of these bright single & multi-headed sunflowers. Notice the ring of flowers around the tree stump (counted 61 flowers). These all came up because I used the stump for a feeder for a couple of weeks. The bumble bees just love these sunflowers as do we. Debbie and I harvest the heads to use as birdseed for this winter; all except those I cut for flower arrangements (see blog below). So it is a win-win situation.
