The heat went from warm to ridiculously hot as it always does in az in the summer. Quickly our nice patch of green in the desert was turning yellow and dying. We did a little researching and learned what to do to "harvest" our sunflower seeds. We waited until they were all dried up, heads hanging down low. Then we clipped them off and let them dry in the sun.
Then Avery had the job of pulling out all the seeds....
We couldn't believe how many seeds we are going to have. These are the seeds from just one sunflower. Now they just have to get a salt water wash and then get salted and roasted. So awesome to watch their whole growing process and have something to enjoy at the end of it, can't wait to try them.
The only other things left were some tomatoes that quickly all started turning red and had to be pulled.
We pulled up the rest of the carrots and enjoyed them for snack with some ranch :)
The garden is completely done for the season and I hate looking outside and seeing all the brown again. We had so much fun with it this year and can't wait to see what we'll be able to grow next year!!
