I bought this birdhouse at a garage sale for two dollars.I hardly ever go to garage sales because I always come home with junk I have no room for. At least this stays outside. Maybe someday I will repaint it. It's a little too bright blue, but the red ties in with the red plant.
See that big sunflower on the left? Of 4 packages of different sunflower seeds, it's one of the few seeds that survived. I can't remember which sunflower it is, so it will be a surprise.
My hanging baskets are getting somewhat tired looking. Today I cut back the 'orange symphony' osteos in hopes that they will regain their former vigor.
The baskets look so different with no orange.

I have sunflowers growing all over in my veggie garden...never need to plant them, the chipmunk plants the sunflower seeds for me every year! lol
ReplyDeleteThose birdhouses down low would be a sore temptation for my cat if they had occupants!
ReplyDeleteI have sunflowers grown from birdseed. I left a few sprouts to grow just to see how they'd look. They are not very pretty, so I do not recommend birdseed as a good source of sunflowers in the garden. ;-)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I've done the same with the bird seed I have and you're correct, they are butt ugly!
ReplyDeleteI went Pea's site today and she has a beauty posted. I don't know if the squirrel planted that one or not.
Sue, I don't think any bird will use the house (unless they don't mind a cement floor) because there is no bottom on it. :)
