Sunflowers opening.
I hate going out in the morning and discovering the damage the deer do. I put some more pinwheels in the pots, hoping this will deter them. They seem to work. The plants the deer seem to like best are my begonias.
That "path" is actually where the french drain is. We had to install those on the mountain side of the house. The grass dries up quickly there.

A difficulty of living in a pasture is defining the wild area and the tame area. In lieu of fencing, a buffer area works best. This side gets mowed, that side is "managed". The sunflowers form part of the buffer area.
There is an area 40 minutes from me that sunflowers grow along the road with the minimum rain we get. I want to pick up the seeds and bring them back home. I would love to have them in my yard. I never seem to time it right to collect the seeds.
