Carol Perkins: Sunflower seeds Previous Column: The Crocodile Song By Carol Perkins Sunflowers, so I've been told, need only sun to grow. What I discovered is that the seeds also must stay in the ground to pop through the soil and stand up in a garden. I have made more than a little effort to have a sunflower garden, but not one seed came up last year among the dozens sowed. Not one. This year Guy decided to till the area where I tried sunflowers and wildflowers last year and start over. After he finished tilling, we sowed a fifty-pound bag of sunflower seeds. They were so thick I worried we had overdone it. What we did, however, was provide birds and squirrels with a buffet. I looked out this morning and six squirrels were feasting. After raising the window and yelling at them, they scattered up the nearest trees. Then the bluejays filled their plates. When they finished, the masses ascended, even a woodpecker, and took over my garden. If there is one seed left, some bird will eat it. I asked, "Guy, where's Jon's old BB gun? I'd love to shoot some squirrels." He didn't respond.
