Yes that heat does wilt the best of things, I can imagine what it is doing to us that spend time out in it, I love the Sun Flowers, always have, and I am glad that you can put the seeds to good use, I do love them too, I buy them by the large bags, Hugs my friend, Barbara
It must be fun getting all those seeds out. That would be a job for me. I will have to plant sunflowers next year just for that fun job. They sure were pretty.
So sad to see them all laying prone on the car. I love cheerful sunflowers. I'm amazed that they are ready to harvest now, too. Ours are nowhere near ready and already the nights are getting cooler and cooler down into the low60's. Fall will be here soon...and I want some sunflower seeds, too. hehe!
Apples will be ready next month, though. I can't wait!
Don't you feel like bending YOUR head over when the sun continuously beats down on you? LOL!

There is always some gain to dying, I suppose. In this case, food. And so goes the circle of life.
