I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Sunday Sunflower Sunsation


I often speak to my plants, but today they had a message for me!  
I really grew the sunflowers for the chooks but now that they have contacted me, I think I must find a way of using them, at least some of them, myself.

    Ask the Cook to make a sunflower seed cake like the American Indians used to make. We'd actually call it a bread.

    I've never really found a way of hulling them that inspired me to do it regularly, thus most of mine go to the chooks. Love to hear anyone who has.

    Well I just love coming over to your blog Hazel you always have something different. I planted 3 sunflower seeds from the ones I put in my muisli and they have grown beautifully and have buds on them. They are such a lovely cheery flower.

    Can't wait for our second batch of sunflower to bloom and have fun like you did. Smiling.

    Hazel, you are just SO creative - and you see so clearly how the beauty of nature can be captured and enhanced through the medium of photography.
    I know that many birds really love sunflower seeds, so if it were me, I would just dry the seeds and leave them out somewhere for the birds to help themselves.

    You may have enough for the birds and for baking. How did you do that... razor? tweezers? sacateurs?
