            | croley bend | Williamsburg,KY | My giant sunflower is doing great, today the head started to bend over.  I do have the stalk stable, but have it loosely tied to a stout bamboo about 15 feet tall. Should I try to straighten the head up or let it just bend over. One year the back of the sunflower head rotted from being wet.  And now its raining.  Any advise, I would like to harvest the head when it is time.  Thanks. Oh yea I posted a pic of it in my diary, but the head was ok then.   | 8/17/2014 8:25:32 PM |  
            | cojoe | Colorado | Better to let it bend over. Keeps the birds away | 8/17/2014 9:15:04 PM |
