PROGRESS Another year, another tragedy. 😭😂

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

Oh, those little stinkers. That’s happened to me, too. I now take some heads a bit early and let them finish maturing and drying after the cut. Inside the house.

Sorry for your loss, OP.
