Eleven-year-old Owen grew this ‘Sunzilla’ sunflower and it towered over him. He recently cut it down to harvest the seeds, but many of the shells were empty. Seeds courtesy Renee’s Garden Seeds.
In the end, this may be the most important thing about frost: Frost slows us down. In spring, it tempers our eagerness. In fall, it brings closure and rest. In our gotta-go world–where every nanosecond seems to count–slowness can be a great gift. So rather than see Jack Frost as an adversary, you could choose to greet him as a friend.
