I see you have little yellow in your mix. For some reason I ended up with DOZENS of yellow ‘Canary’ Zinnia. The big, tall ones. They’ve made great bouquets, but I’ve had more than enough of YELLOW, LOL!

Do you want me to save some seed for you? I’ve got plenty, and the Goldfinch haven’t noticed them, yet.

Think we can get them past ‘customs?’ LOL!

Sure - thanks!

The finches are beating me to the tithonia seeds - at this rate, I will have zero seeds! I am going to see if I have some small paper envelopes or something like that, to put over a few so the seeds can mature/dry out & the finches won’t get them. I have lunch bags - good for some of the sunflowers, but too big for tithonia.

I’m a little ‘bummed’ ... I think the majority of our hummingbirds have departed in the last couple of days. I saw one last evening next door on the porch feeder and one on our front maple tree feeder this morning. Tomorrow, I’ll try to keep a closer eye on the feeders. Last year, we still had a few about half way through October so this seems a little early ... wonder what they know that we don’t? I do know some pretty chilly air is coming this week.
