How to SAVE SUNFLOWER SEEDS the easy way (for new gardeners)

This is the easiest way to save sunflower seeds, especially for new gardeners who aren't quite sure how to tell when seeds are ready.

Welcome to Auxhart Gardening! I’m Rachel, a small-scale southern gardener growing near Clemson, SC, zone 7b. I mainly garden in-ground, with containers as secondary production spaces.

Knowing where your food comes from is powerful, and empowering, and I believe we can change the world through gardening education.

The agricultural system is broken; we’ve monocultured nearly every major crop, forcing the use of chemical pesticides and inorganic fertilizers to maintain large-scale food production. I believe there’s a better way.

By teaching people to rely on themselves, even just a little, for their food supply, we might be able to create some breathing room for our strained food system, allowing for change to start happening.

By educating people about where food comes from and how to grow it, we can raise awareness about our broken agricultural system and form a community that understands how to fix it.

By forming a community, we can move toward creating real change in the world.

My goal is to educate; yes you can grow food, yes you can do it without chemicals, yes you can do it in your backyard or on your windowsill. And yes, that can make a difference in the world.

Can you chop off the head of sunflower and have it dry out and have viable seeds?
