Looking at that flower with all the seeds on it makes my scalp itch

We were just eating sunflower seeds and my son asked how they were made. Out of all the videos listed I picked yours. We loved it! My 5 year old boy said, “Wow, can we go meet this family?!” 😆

Sunflower seeds have been a lifelong favorite snack of mine and I have always wanted to see how they are harvested. Really cool.

I love it ! Not only do you teach us HOW to plant and remove the seeds, you also teach us how to brine and roast them . Thanks for a very informative video .

I’m always cracking and spitting sunflower seeds and my rooster always following me begging for some. It’s amazing seeing these guys opening them up

[caragreene]

Out of all the sunflower harvesting videos this is the best because of the simplicity. Thank you

Harvesting sunflower seeds is one of the funnest seeds to save

I have successfully germinated 20 sunflowers this year! 2 large varieties, one Mammoth and one super snacker?
They ate throwing, very tall and this 3 habe bloomed beautiful heads this week! I CAN'T WAIT to harvest and EAT them!
A thanks for the roasting tips! Happy harvesting!

Great first point, all the personal protection equipment works when you wear it. One trip to the ER can consume any profit from your harvest. Boots, gloves, long sleeves, glasses, hats. and fantastic food.

WOW!!! This is such a great video. I had NO CLUE this is how you harvested sunflower seeds. Great instructions! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and your family!

My husband and I have been talking about homesteading for a few years now. Y’all really make us feel like just going for it. It looks like pure happiness to me.

We grow Mammoth Sunflowers (grey stripe) in southwest Ohio. They look great along the fence line. Started with 2 packets last year and those 50 gave me enough seeds to feed the chickens thru the winter and plant again this year. This year's seeds are going to be next years photo field. We have a few that were all black heads, a couple that look all white but most are still the grey stripe.

First off, your voice is tranquil. Second, thank you for sharing this video. I really enjoyed even though I have never given too much thought toward the process of harvesting sunflower seeds.

[stipe]

Just wonderful how one seed can get you this many seeds.

[SgtSnausages]

We grow Sunflower for both ourselves and small livestock. The Rabbits, Chicken, and Quail all love the seeds. Easiest feed ever. No processing. Just toss 'em a full head and they'll go to town.

[heatherwatson]

Have you thought about leaving the sunflower stalks standing and then plant a climbing fall crop? Peas, beans, cucumbers.. something that will use the stalks to lift their plants off the ground.

[teressacooks]

We're city folks but my sister LOVED to plant stuff. One year she did sunflowers. I had no idea they grew that tall "naturally". I figured she had put miracle grow on them or something! Lol
