This was my first year to plant sunflowers. I grew them in peat pots first, then planted the seedlings all along our back fence. Of the whole lot, there were only 3 survivors! I have nursed those 3 and managed to get 2 of them to a decent size. Now, SOMETHING is eating the whole heads! I hadn't cut off the flowers to use in an arrangement because they looked so pretty from the back door. But, now they are ALL GONE! I counted 17 stems with the flowers gone. Is it squirrels and what can I do about it?
