I REALLY wanted to plant sun flowers this last year but just ran out of time. So, next year I am going to plant them. I want to save the seed for livestock but I had no clue just how to go about doing it. Oh, Thank-you so very much for this post, Dora Renee' Wilkerson p.s. I just LOVE your site!

We have a titmouse or two that will get seeds. The other birds have mostly stayed away from it so far. It will be harder to find food soon enough though I guess. I guess we got lucky as far as growing them. I figure we'll plant more next year. I have eaten a bunch of the seeds already! I had one head that had some bugs so I put it out for the birds.

The second year the wild birds got the seeds before I tossed them to the chickens. I am simply not meant to grow my own sunflower seeds. Yours look delightful.

We did that on one batch and it's the best tasting. Just a thought! I think part of the secret might be in putting in a little toomuch salt. We did that on one batch and it’s the best tasting.

I just wasn't doing it right, I guess! They sure look great, looks like you got quite a few too! I’m with Kim, we’ve tried them before but they never turned out.

We have cooked some up in the past and they did not come out well...can't remember exactly what we did. Thanks for sharing! Maybe I’ll try that recipe.

Some pest got them. All the hulls has tiny holes in them and were empty! We were bummed, and haven't tried it since! We tried to grow sunflowers once for seed. Some pest got them.

Sunflower seeds are great to eat (in homemade granola bars and plain). I always let my sunflowers go to seed in my flowerbed - I ought to try this. Kris How cool!
