Noah's Helianthus Annus


Whelp! Here's the proof that they really are twelve foot sunflowers. Everything about them is gigantic, including Noah's love for them. We just discovered, after one of them fell completely over, that they are ready to hang and dry. And then, once the seeds dry up, we can roast them and eat them. It's kind of a fun thing to harvest and definitely different. We'll see how they turn out. If they're yucky, I read somewhere that you can dry the sunflower heads and hang them out during the winter for the birds, who absolutely love them. Either way I'm sure we'll be doing something interesting with them.
