multicolored sunflowers
were ready for harvesting today.
Most of our sunflower crop
still needs a few more weeks.

Sunflowers
Will the seeds be harmed by frost? I have quite a few sunflowers that aren't dried yet and I want to feed them to my chickens eventually. Will the frost harm them? Should I just leave them alone until they are dried on the stalk?

Frost on sunflowers
Anonymous --- Frost will kill the plants, but won't hurt the seeds. However, sunflower seeds are like candy for wildlife, so if you leave them out in the garden, chances are something will eat your stash before the chickens get to them.
