This time of year we used to....

What you used to do sounds such fun, but I suppose it's much easier just to buy them now.

I never see them around either. I think it's because people rather buy then grow anymore.

I see the Sunfloweres every once in a while but not like I used to. They grow so tall and the flowers are really pretty it is a shame that not many people grow them anymore.

Maybe it is because it is easier to buy than grow. Not sure. Shame people have lost interest in growing fresh veg and fruit.

Please refrain from 'suggesting' your posts to me - I have no interest in this type of post. I will peruse and read posts that I want to read regardless of suggestions. If you continue to suggest your posts to me, I will have no choice but to unfollow you, block you and read NONE of your posts. Understand?

This is a good habit.I also like grow sunflower but I havent not enough spece for that.I admire your work.

I used to see and do it too..now its hard to find sunflowers anymore..

These are my favourite flowers. We has some in my garden as a child and they used to give me comfort during so many unhappy times. I still love them especially as they turn their 'faces' to the sun. I smile when I see them!

My maid has promised me seeds. They have fields of sunflowers.

You made me wish I had a garden but not while I am living in an apartment.

Our neighbours over fences on both sides grow them and we love watching them peep over the fence at us. Such happy flowers. I've never tried roasting the seeds though.

I've never harvested sunflower seeds but it does sound like it would be a fun thing to do.

I have never tried growing any, sounds like fun lol

My daughter grow them every summer, she saves some of the seeds for the next year and lets the birds have the rest. I love the look of the tall beautiful flowers.

I grow them, we do not eat the seed, but I feed the birds with them.

I never really thought about the growing part of sunflower seeds but I do love to eat them!!

My garden here is filled with them. They are so good for controlling bug. Plus I love the seeds to make oil with. I love the giant flower too. they are beautiful. The first time I ever saw one was in Italy when we were there for my dad's work. We were sort of out of the town and in a smaller village. There the people around grew a lot of food. The boy next door introduced me to them for the first time. I was only 6. He gave me one to take home and roast. He told me I needed to soak the seeds in salt water and then roast them in salt. I didn't bother to ask how so I dumped the flower in a bucket and poured in a bottle of salt and filled it with water. My mom flipped out to say the lest. In the end we did get them roasted and they were delicious.
