EARWIGS. Those are not legs but pincers. They feed mostly at night and hide away in cracks and garden debris in the day time. First clean up any places where they can take cover in the day time. Next take a plastic water or pop bottle. Remove the lid and cut the top off of the bottle where it straightens out. I like to cut the bottle down a bit too, but leave room for them to get past the funnel. Mix up an earwig solution--recipe to follow. Put the solution in the bottle and invert the top into the bottle so it looks like a funnel inside the bottle and tape it on. Then bury it in the ground near your sunflowers so there is only a bit sticking out. The earwigs crawl down the funnel looking for a place to hide and maybe eat because of the bait and can't get out because of the oil, the salt in the soy sauce kills them too. Some also use yogurt cups but you must have a lid to keep the rain out and some way for them to get in. Recipe--equal parts of molasses, cooking oil, and soy sauce. It may take a few days for it to work because it works better when it's rancid. Some use the oil from tuna or sardines. Check your traps every few days and empty them. Bugs tend to keep away if they scent their own kind dead.

I've had the same problem. I had nice seedlings I planted out and those got dug up and chewed on by some creature and I am betting a squirrel. Then I started them direct sown and they came up and looked gorgeous and I covered them with a milk crate but I kept feeling like they wouldn't get enough sun so I took them off one day and now I have 2 left. So I just planted more yesterday!! I am determined to have sunflowers this year. I have a new idea. I have some bird netting and I am going to rig something up with that so the seedlings are safe until they get large enough to fend for themselves. Keeping my fingers crossed. :-) pm2

Jeff, I don't usually divide chamomile since it reseeds so easily. I will cut it back really, really hard once it is about through with a flush of flowering and it will then regrow and reflower. The method used to propagate chamomile depends oh which type you are growing. If it is English Chamomile, you can propagate it via seeds, division or by layering. If it is German Chamomile, you usually propagate it by seed only. I treat dill the same way as chamomile, cutting it back hard if I want to keep it growing and in flower, or let it go to seed if I want the seeds for cooking. I have never heard of anyone propagating it via division or cuttings, only by seed. Sage is easy to grow from cuttings. I have never tried to divide it from the rootball and don't know if that is how it is usually done. But, if you see clumps forming away from the main clump you can dig the little clumps up, separate them from the mother clump and replant them. Cut back the topgrowth of the divisions a little to compensate for the shock of being dug and transplanted. You can divide many perennial plants by cutting the rootball in half, but you will always have to cut back the top a lot to compensate for the digging/cutting/replanting. I usually just let the herbs grow into huge monsters. I tend to let them reseed, and then I just dig up the tiny seedlings and put them where I want them. In a rainy year, I will cut back herbs many, many times. Dawn
