Helianthus annuus

Found several of these self seeded from last year. The bees 🐝 certainly love them

My grandsons brought home 3 of these from their day out at local corn maze. I planted straight away but only this one survived 🌻

Something's munching on the leaves of my sunflower. Bet it's those dratted Spanish slugs !

Oh no, they need 🔫🔫🔫

Is it our slimy pests or wriggly ones 😂😂😂

Had a bbq Saturday night and it chucked it down. Went into the garden about 10.30 and my son was amazed at how many slugs there were.@vec @juliesgarden 😣

Thanks @linfoster , not very big but lovely 🌻

I don't think the slugs and other nasties have found my garden yet. I was going to invest in some nematodes but will keep touching wood for now ☺

Wow how lucky @vec. Lost lots of plants to the blighters. Saw it on the news about a lady who picked up over 500 slugs and snails in one night ! They lay loads of eggs. Apparently our english ones go underground during the day but the Spanish ones are used to the hot weather lol 🙄

500 😨😨😨 I'd be having nightmares

Yes I saw that some kind of giant orange slugs I've even pinch a frog from my friends pond in the hope it will eat at least some of the buggars

😂😂😂 @Rosiemitch My hubby saw a frog /toad in our garden last night. He certainly won't go hungry 🐸

Pretty sunflower even though it's not very big 😂😂

Its tiny Lin @linfoster 😂😂
