Nice these are great looking flowers! where are these being grown at? I've had trouble starting from seed due to all the birds eating the sprouts haha

I'm in mid-Atlantic United States. I plant way more seeds than what will make it past the sprouting stage when all the hungry squirrels eat them up. Maybe next year try to plant 4x the seeds that you did this year??

Good advice will do!

You could also try to put a light netting over top while the shoots are very tiny. OR you could try to start your seedlings in containers before planting them in the ground without disturbing the roots. Good luck!
