Sunflowers giving joy to the humans. . . and feeding the fauna!
We planted about an acre of sunflowers, millet, corn and wheat on contour. Our plan was to attract as many birds as we could. We all know what flows down hill and the birds leave behind a beautiful bioactive gift every time they take off!
We normally plant wildflowers along the hedgerows and in the ditches to attract pollinator. Unfortunately, our supplier ran out before we ordered. So we threw down what we had on hand. It just happens that it worked out. And, we get to feed the birds, the bees and enjoy our own little patch of sunshine.
