Really !!  Maybe I'll plant more of those then.......... give the birds 
something to do besides flying up to my windows and banging their beaks on 
them looking for treats !
 
Somehow the Orioles have figured out that I'm the one that fills the 
hummingbird feeders and the minute they are empty, come right to the window 
where I sit most of the time and bang like crazy until I do a refill !!!
 
The Orioles will be here in about 2 weeks from what I remember from last 
years.  
 
The Hummers have arrived, and buzzed me all day today, since I was wearing a 
red shirt.  Many different kinds.  The first ones, I call the Penguins,,, 
since they have a black head, white ring around their neck, dark gray/green 
back and wings, and a light grey chest......... little tuxedos............. 
LOL.  In a few more months there will be nearly a dozen different 
kinds,,,,,,,,,, and so many they line up like incoming planes to a runway at 
rush hour to the 6 large feeders..... they are a riot.  But when the Orioles 
are around they steal all the hummers juice....
 
For the past couple of weeks there have been thousands of birds on the 
property.  I raked up about 2 acres of thorny weeds, and a lot of tiny seeds 
fell out.... they've been having a blast eating the seeds, and I thank them 
for that.  8 more acres of thorn weeds..... some time later though.

“All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. 
People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, 
and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. 
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder 
respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” ~ George 
Orwell

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better 
than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not 
your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May 
your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our 
countrymen.”— Samuel Adams

Probably not. I don't have a big problem with birds on the big sunflowers
(big seeds), they like the small seeded ornamental sunflowers. Some of the
ornamentals have tiny, tiny seeds. Birds tear those ones up. I like to watch
the show.

Thanks Fred.  This sounds quite wonderful and if I grow them I will
definitely try it.  Shoot, I'll try it with green beans.
