The Whitehurst Diaries: The Sunflower Experiment The experiment is not a smashing success, but it has not been without its charms and benefits. Besides the beauty, it has provided new, interesting habitat for a not so wild creature, Willis, the man of letters Click on headline for story with photos By Sharon Whitehurst Filling the old stone-sided raised bed with sunflowers seemed like a good idea back in early May. The bed is too deep to weed without hoisting myself bodily into it - which could only be accomplished when the sunflowers were small seedlings. Rain water [when such is available] doesn't reach the back of the strip due to the overhang of the garage roof. A few sunflower stalks have crashed, their heavy heads vulnerable to wind. Still - there is something rather gawdy and glorious about sunflowers! I cut a few of the smaller variety to display in a treasured McCoy vase, but most of them flaunt their brilliant shades of yellow-gold and orange far above my head. Willis the Cat has found that the huge raspy leaves and thick stalks make a perfect jungle for an imaginative feline. -Sharon Whitehurst This story was posted on 2011-08-11 01:20:06
