Its a beautiful day here in Essex and I've just been down the garden to feed the chickens. My sunflowers just look beautiful in the sunlight and one of them measures 8 feet tall!!!
Anyway, they look so cheerful and jolly against the sunlit sky that I thought I'd share them with you.
So pretty aren't they...and filled with lovely food too. They still manage to look beautiful when they die back and the seeds ripen. It's so lovely picking out all the seeds knowing they will make a tasty snack and I get to keep some for more sunflowers next year. Gardening perfection in my eyes. A tasty snack for us; a treat for the chickens AND food for the garden birds that visit. I'll share them out so we all get some and next year I plan to plant as many as I possibly can.
