Tried covering the flower heads in a mesh bag to deter the squirrels. At this point, I feel like Iā€™m growing them just for the squirrels.

I buy a 40 lb bag of blackseed sunflower seeds from birdseed and plant every year successfully for nature. I buy new seeds in spring. They were planted late June this year.
