The first installment of these dead sunflowers remained a draft until today. I forgot to publish it! So I will do the second installment of these dead sunflowers as though I had not screwed up yesterday. I must have gotten distracted.
Last year I had a forest of sunflowers and something called "goosefoot"-- one of the oldest known cultivated plants, now considered a weed. What a shame. The leaves are good to eat and the sap is said to be medicinal. I have not tried that yet, but I've put the leaves in salads. All of that stuff should come back and I've seen little green shoots here and there so I've started watering. My hope is for a bigger and better forest this year.
