Harvesting Sunflowers

I’ve mentioned here my Mongolian Giant Sunflowers that we’re growing in the garden. I went out yesterday and cut a bunch of them and saved the seed heads to give the birds this winter and hopefully replant a few of the seeds in the spring. The sunflowers were too large for my clippers so I cut them down with my reciprocating saw then cut the heads off with clippers. I am going to let the seeds dry a bit in my barn then have them for later. I did notice some seeds had already dropped from the heads in the garden as the started to die back.

These are definitely the largest sunflowers I’ve ever grew. Check out the seeds from Hoss Tools if you’re interested in growing big sunflowers.


I want to say thanks for stopping by to read my ramblings. To say thanks more I have a few free phone wallpapers here.
