Those giant sunflowers I posted a while back are now being harvested. We have never cared for the seeds of those monsters and only grow them for their oddity and beauty. The kernels are not well developed, but try to tell this squirrel. Actually, there were two of them for a few days, hanging up side down, plucking a kernel, and then sitting on top cracking it and eating the seed. They were eating non stop for days, and working hard for every mouthful. We are at eye level with them from our deck so it is a great place from which to take a photo. I hope they left a few seeds for the chick-a-dees who usually are the only birds nimble enough to hang on the underside of the flower.
