1016




After quite a few weeks the first of our gorgeous sunflowers have dried out.  I love the dried heads with and without seeds.  A bit of a time consuming task but 5 heads yielded quite a few seeds and in turn we consumed quite a few.


I'll wait until the largest heads are dried as the seeds are larger, before I roast some with salt to remember some moments eating these during the time I lived in Canada.

those heads look beautiful, i agree, empty and full. I think that I'll have a go at these next summer, I know that you saw my pin last week. So gorgeous. x

Delicious. We once had several sunflowers in our garden. We gathered some of the seeds for ourselves and let two heads dry out in the garden for the birds. It was a huge feast, I can tell you that. Lovely to see those birdies enjoy them :-)
