I have several large nursery cans full of sunflowerheads. I need to locate some good cardboard boxes to air dry them in. Its going to be hard to keep the vermine out while they dry down and before I can remove the seed from the heads as these are a tad green yet. If I keep them in the plastic cans and forget to turn the heads periodically, they can mold because the moisture holds in the plastic cans wehre teh cardboard it releases the dampness. And if I have plants that are still in here being watered I need to be extra carefull watering so as not to get the drydown stuff wet.

What is nice about the GH is that it is great for projects like drying down seeds or cut flowers. You just have to monitor anything drying so that the mice and some bugs dont get into it or that the cut flowers do not over dry.

I also have some flowerheads from deadheading that are in here and they are almost dry.
