 All right, you can see here that I've got a bunch of sunflowers laying on the ground, but I also have a lot that aren't We just had a pretty wicked Rainstorm so I'm waiting for it to dry out a little bit before I actually harvest these and bring them in But this is a good opportunity to talk about selection in my sunflowers people say oh You've got to stake up these giant sunflowers cuz we'll just fall over but as you can see I have plenty of really tall sunflowers that Aren't falling over at all and they're the ones that are most exposed to the wind Yes, some of these guys down here that decided that they didn't want to stand up this year Which is fine because just like in the selection of my corn I'm gonna go through I'm gonna save seeds from that plant and from that plant and from that plant and from that plant Basically the ones that had the genetics that allowed them to stay upright are the genetics that I want to carry forward in my population This stuff as long as it's not rotting will be perfectly fine to eat, but I do not want To encourage genetics that cause the plants to fall over especially with the amount of wind that we have here So I do not trellis my sunflowers. I will never trellis my sunflowers if they can't stand up on their own They're out of here
