Very good idea. I only have short sunflowers about 30" high.
If it`s too hot in summer in your area for pole beans try Red Ripper Peas. Cook the young green pods like Asparagus Beans or shell them after they turn purple.
Great editing Gerry!
Great use of the dead sunflower! Impressive in life, and useful in death.
A few days ago I had about an hour of high winds and rain come blasting off the Atlantic and when I looked out my largest strongest eggplant seedling had snapped in half and was hanging on by a thread 😭 I didn't panic though. I just cut one of my velcro plant ties, wrapped up the area and immediately staked it. It was only 5cm high so I didn't think it needed staking yet. It has totally bounced back, grown taller, and is even putting out new leaves. Sometimes if you catch them in time they can still be saved…😊 If it hadn't recovered, then my next step would've been to just stick the top bit into the ground and see if it would generate new roots. Failing that, compost.
