Got a bird feeder?

That’s gotta be it. There’s a feeder in the vicinity.

Now when can I transplant these things?? Lol

I really don’t think they’ll appreciate being transplanted at this stage. Maybe with next year‘s seedlings.

I’m going to leave them be this year

I’d sure like to move these next year. Are they perennials?

No, they aren’t. The clue is in the name. Helianthus annuus.

But it should be easy to grow more next year.

Presumably the squirrels will plant more ;)

Or you harvest some seeds before the critters do.
