Finch Food

Earlier this summer I noticed a clump of sunflower seeds sprouting in a dirt filled window box I left on the patio. I typically pick the sunflower sprouts (from the birdseed) out of the flower beds, but I thought I would let these grow to see what happens.

The sunflowers survived vacation and earwigs and grew and flowered.  The early blooms are now starting to fade and the goldfinches have discovered them. If I can find room somewhere, I'd like to plant more - on purpose - next summer.
