I'm experiencing something of a sunflower drought here. Last spring they abounded and every seed I planted sprouted, but so far since July they've flopped. I have two, including this lonely guy who's about 3 1/2 foot and can't stop looking down at the watermelon vines sprawling at its feet. All I can figure is that the heat was too hot or the mouse too hungry...a few other gardeners I know had success planting in the summer and others didn't, so like I've learned--desert gardening can be inconsistent and fickle. I'll be planting some more this week in hopes I can finally get a field of them again. But despite, I like this fellow.
