            | pumpkin bell | Alabama | I collect both the top and side and it seems not to matte. anyone else? | 12/20/2014 9:27:10 PM | 
		
            | cojoe | Colorado | The side seeds will have opened at different times than the main head. So seeds genetics depend on what neighboring sunflowers were open . No telling which will be the best genetically but they are likely to be different. | 12/21/2014 12:53:47 AM |
