All hail the sunflower

It’s time to plant some Helianthus annuus and hope the weather patterns take the hint, writes Fiann Ó Nualláin.

With all the hail and snow and bitter cold lately I think it is time for a little sympathetic magic or at least some wishful thinking.

For the sake our battered crops and numb fingers I think it’s time to plant some sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) and hope the weather patterns take the hint.
