It's springtime and moving beyond last frost dates in the northern parts of the U.S. Garden centers are humming, bees are buzzing. Birds are nesting in my hanging planters.

I planted out 25 tomato seedlings last weekend - what are you growing?

I’m on my second sunflower after the first seedling got ripped out by some manner of varmint. I think I planted it too close to the bird feeder so this one is going to live in a pot until it’s a little larger.

Groundhogs aggressively pursue my attempts at sunflowers.

Where I am at I have a squirrel that will climb the sunflower when It is about to bloom and chew the head right off. The bastard little squirrel then determines that there are in fact no seeds and leaves the head of the sunflower there on the ground uneaten to mock me.
