Sunflowers!!!

My Grrrl pulled a sunflower head off of the stalk yesterday. We let it dry overnight. Tonight, I harvested the seeds. I have pics!




This is a quarter way through, when I thought I should get pics!





These are all the seeds that came from that GIANT head!



This is the poor dead head. :(

We can't really even eat these seeds, they are to small, but, the birds LOVE these plants. We are gonna plant them out the side of the house, where we can see the sunflowers from the side window... That'll be nice. Gonna clean the windows really well, I the spring that way we can see the birds well, maybe get some good pics next year. We saw turtle doves out there the other day. So cool! Maybe some bird attracting wildflowers, so we can get even more birds!

I'm by no means wanting to become a "bird watcher", but I do like watching birds...make sense? ;)
