So I saw this initially. Like a plug of lil leaves...so I pulled it out.

and the grubby lil fart went all the way thru and added a plug O.o

And left with a hole (cavity MAY already be there, I had never split a sunflower)but I'd assume some bug carved it out :-( I have ALOT of sunflowers going and don't want an infestation of an unknown insect to kill them off.

you are going to harvest the seed arent you????

i see no reason not to

i dont know about the bug ... but so what ...

if mother nature claims 10% for herself.. so be it ...though i do like your scientific term of 'waspus little fartus' ... lol

i surely would not recommend any chemical intervention at this stage ....

you did all the damage.. other than the small hole with leaf ... right???

ken

That is one of the most inferesting things I've seen in a long time....at least since yesterday! I'll have to dig around to see what I can find out.
