Thread: Sunflower seeds anyone?

  1. #1

    Sunflower seeds anyone?

    The harvest is here. Got any hiking trips planned? Take some.

    I just plucked and washed most of the seeds today and I'm drying them out in paper bags. I picked the flowers off a couple of days ago.

    I'll probably cook some up tomorrow. I've got some yummy recipes in mind.
    Salted
    Butter
    Garlic Butter
    Lime
    Tabasco
    Ranch
    BBQ
    Dill
    any other ideas?

    I may even send some samples out to y'all. Looks like I'll have plenty.

    I'm quite proud of my tallest sunflower. I should've measured it, but I'm @ 6'1" (depending on what time of day it is) and I'm guessing it stood 11 feet tall.

    I hope we are still talking about sunflowers here.
    I wish my lawn was EMO so it would cut itself.

    Cajun - of course! Roast some using some Tony Cachere's seasoning.

    Those are a little tall for my taste, but I have been wanting to plant sunflowers around our rental house.

    How do I go about it?

    Piece o' cake. Actually, most of these will only get to be about 9 feet. This one grew at a 45 degree angle which helped increase it's height.

    It depends if you want to harvest the seeds or not. If you do, there are several types, I think these are called "Mammoth". Very inexpensive.

    If it's just for decoration, they've got all kinds of mixed colored ones, like just to the right in the first picture. You can see the dark brown and orange ones, they get about 7 feet tall. No edible seeds, smaller heads.

    How to grow:
    Plant the seeds @ 1" deep. They don't need much water, but it always helps.
    You can plant them in groups of 2 or 3, then thin them out when about 6" tall, or you can just plant them about a foot apart.

    No maintenance after that. You'll be amazed at how fast they grow, and how well they decorate the yard.

    Each packet of @30 seeds is probably 2 bucks.

    My Salt n Vinegar batch just came out. Very good. Very tangy.

    I'll try Ranch next.
