If not, I suggest we all go to the movies!

We've had a compost/mulch soil base for nine months. What amazed me the most is that it did not shift or spill over onto the sidewalk in the rainy season. It just lay there like a big sponge.

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the family Asteraceae and is native to the Americas. The stem can grow as high as 10 feet and the flowering head with its large seeds can reach 12 inches in diameter.

What we usually call the sunflower is actually a head composed of numerous small flowers (florets) crowded together. The outer florets are the sterile ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange or other colors. The small flowers inside the circular head are called disc florets. These florets mature into sunflower seeds but are actually the fruit of the plant. The inedible husk is the wall of the fruit and the true seed lies within the inedible husk.
