All you seasoned gardeners may now laugh at me. As the scary, mutant sunflower triffid stalked me from in front of my door, I wondered where the sunflower seeds would come from. Slowly, that first gigantic sunflower lost it’s petals and as I was coming up the walk from work today I thought it really needed to be dead headed. Besides having lost all it’s petals, the outside of the ‘eye’ was beginning to look kinda grody too.
I step up to the triffid armed with sharp tools (just in case it wants to attack me) and that’s when I notice that it isn’t some sort of ‘grode’ in the eye– it’s sunflower seeds!
Yeup, I’m that much of a noob.
This is the same sunflower that’s in my icon:
I did a tiny bit of research and have stuck the head in a paper bag to catch the seeds as they dry up more and fall off. Unless ya’ll know of another method. I can’t tell you how fascinating I’m finding this whole deal. I hope the triffids don’t come at me in the middle of the night when they find out I’m gonna eat their babies.
