Remember my sunflowers in the garden? Well, Hurricane Ike finished them off. But that’s ok, they were mostly ready to be harvested anyway. So the children cut them all down.

The good news? The children love them. I find them eating them all the time.

The bad news? The children love them. They eat them all the time and I find the sunflower seed husks everywhere.

I’ve trained them in the past to spit their watermelon seeds outside. I guess I now have to train them to do the same with their sunflower seed shells. I originally grew the sunflower seeds for the goats. So far, I don’t think the goats have gotten a single seed!
