Looking at that flower with all the seeds on it makes my scalp itch
We were just eating sunflower seeds and my son asked how they were made. Out of all the videos listed I picked yours. We loved it! My 5 year old boy said, “Wow, can we go meet this family?!” 😆
Fantastic! How cute is that! Thank you for choosing our video. We love meeting our viewers 🥰
Your husband know you cheat?
This also happened to us! 4yo granddaughter!
So funny my son asked the same and I looked up a video and this came up. Great little tutorial! Thanks!
Seeing this makes you appreciate farmers more ❤️
Fantastic! Farmers do a tough job. They should be treated more like rockstars!
I love it ! Not only do you teach us HOW to plant and remove the seeds, you also teach us how to brine and roast them . Thanks for a very informative video .
How kind! Glad you liked it! Sunflowers are some of the happiest flowers in the garden! So fun and useful to grow!
Sunflower seeds have been a lifelong favorite snack of mine and I have always wanted to see how they are harvested. Really cool.
I’m always cracking and spitting sunflower seeds and my rooster always following me begging for some. It’s amazing seeing these guys opening them up
That’s right! All of our animals go Gaga over sunflower seeds!
Out of all the sunflower harvesting videos this is the best because of the simplicity. Thank you
Wow, thank you! We try to keep it simple and honest. we are glad it was helpful.
Yes! Thank you for this much needed video!
" if you have fingers or things you want to keep attached to your body" hahah thank you for the safety lesson!
You bet! 😃
I have successfully germinated 20 sunflowers this year! 2 large varieties, one Mammoth and one super snacker?
They ate throwing, very tall and this 3 habe bloomed beautiful heads this week! I CAN'T WAIT to harvest and EAT them!
A thanks for the roasting tips! Happy harvesting!
Great first point, all the personal protection equipment works when you wear it. One trip to the ER can consume any profit from your harvest. Boots, gloves, long sleeves, glasses, hats. and fantastic food.
WOW!!! This is such a great video. I had NO CLUE this is how you harvested sunflower seeds. Great instructions! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and your family!
Thanks so much! Sunflowers are one of the easier things to grow and the garden! And they are so useful!
Harvesting sunflower seeds is one of the funnest seeds to save
Right? I feel like volume wise especially... your just harvesting a ton from one blossom. Very satisfying! Thanks!
4 Kids and a Farm did you know you can put them on a grill when they are young ? It’s on emmymadeinjapan
Amy Fluffyfluff we want to try this next year. It is supposed to be delicious!
4 Kids and a Farm wow that would be really cool
So far ur video has been the most helpful. Detailed and casual and family oriented. NICE JOB!!!
My husband and I have been talking about homesteading for a few years now. Y’all really make us feel like just going for it. It looks like pure happiness to me.
How fascinating. I am addicted to sunflower seeds and never thought of how they are grown.
Just wonderful how one seed can get you this many seeds.
That's how it works with almost every single plant.
I came to see how harvesting sunflowers are done but stayed for the handsome man
Me too 😂
I stayed for the turkey shitting itself
Me 3 ! 😂😂😆🤓
Too bad ladies .. he has not one but 3 kids 😂😂
@@Nipunikazi1 oh we don’t care lol we’re allowed to look 👀 😆🥰🥰
I also have kids … and there’s is absolutely nothing wrong with telling someone they are handsome ✌️😉
Dude this gets a 10 beautiful family farm, Wow what a sight to see harmony like this.❤ Thank You. I'm a seed Freak I only have a few teeth left but I can mow down a whole field of sunflower seeds 🤣
We grow Mammoth Sunflowers (grey stripe) in southwest Ohio. They look great along the fence line. Started with 2 packets last year and those 50 gave me enough seeds to feed the chickens thru the winter and plant again this year. This year's seeds are going to be next years photo field. We have a few that were all black heads, a couple that look all white but most are still the grey stripe.
fantastic! they really are stunning! we have some mammoths that we will try next year. we thought we might grow another batch of them but it may be getting to late in the season. Thanks for commenting and thanks for the input!
We grew Mammoth sunflowers seeds too. Living in PNW where summers weren't so hot. Bought the Ed Hume seeds for our area. Always so big and beautiful they'd grow. Heads at least a foot across, sometimes larger. Wonderful time and beautiful flowers and seeds! ♥️👍♥️
WOW SUNFLOWER
good thing i have youtube to satisfy my curiosity of flowers
Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
First off, your voice is tranquil. Second, thank you for sharing this video. I really enjoyed even though I have never given too much thought toward the process of harvesting sunflower seeds.
Thank You for that kind comment! Sunflowers are so great to grow, even if you are going to grow them for wildlife and not for your own consumption...besides that they are beautiful. We encourage everyone to have a few sunflowers in their life.
God bless farmers and there families.
Love this video❣I never knew sunflowers 🌻 were so beneficial in so many ways. I love sunflowers
For some reason we are really interested in the stalks as kindling. I mean it makes so much sense sustainability wise to use what you have on your own farm.
Nice harvest.
Do you guys eat sunflower seeds? Wonder if those Cherokee tans would climb these sunflowers...that would make an epic three sisters garden!
@@4KidsandaFarm yes they will climb them.
We're city folks but my sister LOVED to plant stuff. One year she did sunflowers. I had no idea they grew that tall "naturally". I figured she had put miracle grow on them or something! Lol
isn't it so cool that a seed can grow to such a huge plant!
@@4KidsandaFarm I was impressed! And apparently so was the bus driver who made an UNSCHEDULED stop on his route just to come get a closer look! 😆
God bless you and your family!
There is nothing more important!!!
Need to let them grow considerably longer. Tie paper bags on them to keep vermin off, then they'll be a much meatier seed. Backs of heads should be completely yellowed-cream colored. Then cut and dry just they way you did it.
Beautiful family! Good job filming the harvest...
Love the patterns of things growing, it means something. God is Good!
One of the best My favorite flowers is a sunflower 🌻🌻🌻 specially the flowers energy looks and the hygienic forest air smells oooh I'm crazy with this flowers ❤️
Love sunflowers 🌻
We keep debating if we are going to sneak some more in for the fall 😊 we love them so much
We grow Sunflower for both ourselves and small livestock. The Rabbits, Chicken, and Quail all love the seeds. Easiest feed ever. No processing. Just toss 'em a full head and they'll go to town.
My favorite!
I love sun flowers
Beautiful!
Soooo satisfying ❤️🌻
I came looking for exactly this, I use sunflower seeds to feed wild birds and I of course the squirrels and chipminks always manage to get some. They bury them and I get sunflowers everywhere!
What you showed is what I did to harvest them but I found it messy.
Great video!!
Wonderful! if we let the heads dry a bit longer it would be cleaner.
Thats a good harvest
Right on
I'm eating sunflower seeds while watching this now
I love eating sunflower seeds
Very nice, this is how you harvest sunflower seeds, we used to feed them to our pet parrots
Love how the turkey poops while on camera. Lol
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♀️
Harvest the oily ones too. Then supply two markets with one crop.
Have you thought about leaving the sunflower stalks standing and then plant a climbing fall crop? Peas, beans, cucumbers.. something that will use the stalks to lift their plants off the ground.
We have! They would make a wonderful trellis!
great idea, been pushing him to 3 sister growing for a couple years.❤
I’m a little late to the party on this one but the pith can be dried and ground into a gluten free flour substitute (I usually mix it with others like rice flour and dried zucchini)
I've never heard of that. Thanks for the tip!
Awesome harvest
Love This!
So cool🤗
Wow that sunflower head was big! I was wondering how to roast them. Thanks for sharing.
"Maybe your bleeding"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Lol family love 😅🤟
This video is precious 🥰
I always wondered how this works. I live in Florida and we don’t have sunflowers, except in pictures when they never have the seeds on them. So it’s so interesting so see them with seeds. I always knew that logically they had seeds somehow, especially because I have seen sell sunflower seeds sold in stores, but I never knew the mechanics of it. Like how the seeds come off the plant.
4:12 Eating and dumping at the same time. That's a chad Turkey.
Nicely done all around
wow, an American that uses cups & tablespoons in measurements! That's awesome, I could actually follow the recipe :)
Meanwhile, I didn't know sunflowers needed pollinating. I've got a bunch of them nearly flowering now down under, but no bees, so very glad I watched this & learnt about that, guess the paint brush I've been using to hand pollinate cucumbers is going to get some more work on the sunflowers. Very glad I learnt that though, otherwise I would have had none! (I mean they still have to get through the cocky swarms, but I have them under chicken wire I've got across the top of my garden to keep the wild turkeys out, so fingers crossed that will keep the cockies out too, if not, I'll get many hours of entertainment as the cockies figure out how to get under it)
Nice video :)
So interesting. We don't have sunflowers in Iceland sadly, but it has always been my favourite flower though 😊
4 Kids & a Farm, thanks for your video! Would you consider: digging up the soil where you planted your sunflowers and placing some of your chopped up stalks about 3-4 feet deep to decompose and provide some additional content for your soil? The flowers will also go into that area quite nicely either as mulch or as part of a 2 feet deep addition to the soil?
I've saved and used the leftover stalks, the thicker ones, as supports for my tomatosnd pepper plants early in. the season... right inside the tomato cage!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Currently, my sunflowers all border the entire back fence line.... one of them has a singulat stray cucumber vine that travelled to the sunflowe stalk and tendrilled itself to it! now that cucumber vine is tall than I am lol 🤷
We used to walk past sunflower plants many taller than us when we were kids on our way to play softball or kickball in the field across from our house. We never knew you could eat them... just thought they were pretty plants. We did though have a fence in the back yard that had blackberries growing on them and a plum tree with a strawberry patch underneath that kept us fed all summer long. Glad I found your channel. PS: I thought raw was better (certainly not tastier for me anyway than roasted).
I really like the Old Bay sunflower seeds from Bigs.
I definitely learned something new today!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for commenting.
4 kids and a farm, buddy you are living my dream
Khup khup Abhinandan...
Hey thanks! We love this lifestyle!
Nice job friend thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome video. 👌 Thank you.
Thanks my Brother!
Your welcome Jeff! Enjoy your sunflower harvest!
Love the channel and the production quality!
Thank you for the phenomenal comment! We are pretty new but we are definitely striving to be better and better! Thank you again for your kind words!
I love sunflower seeds😋. I eat them all the time. Especially the ranch ones👌🏽
So good
How do you eat?
1st time here what a beautiful video. ok back to the show
Sungguh luarbiasa..bunganya cantik , dan bunganya sangat besar...terimakasih vidio yg bagus sekali..
Those kids probably are healthier than average since sunflowers have the "good" fats and decent amounts of vitamins. I snack on them whenever I have minor snack cravings. They taste great when mixed in powdered ranch dressing!
Never grew sunflowers for the seeds just love the flowers!
Sandi Schraut the seeds were good...but you are right...so many good reasons to grow sunflowers!
huge flower indeed
love this video 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thanks so much!
Great video! 🙏 thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the kind comment!
David's Garden has many seeds to harvest. I believe the process is simple and David can manage it.
Wow what an awesome harvest I absolutely love sunflowers and we took a trip to South Dakota and as we passed through I think it was Wyoming and South Dakota they had a million sunflowers... It was beautiful to see so thank you for sharing this video I look forward to many more and have a fantastic day!!
Mama's Little Lambs we have big plans to plant a huge plot next year! Thanks for that story!
Thanks buddy
Your welcome!
Thank you very informative 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video. Awesome vibes. Learned a lot!
Much appreciated! We are so glad!
Wonderful video, I’m watching this around October and it got me in the mood to roast some pumpkin seeds!
oh, roast pumpkin seeds sound so good right now! Thanks for the comment Kayla!
This video is so peaceful I like it
Thanks Dax!
great video, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
We are using Millwakee pex cutters a plumbers tool, to get the heads off.
I just ❤ the Video you and your family did a Great Job 💯 Respect Keep Up The Good Work 👍🏼 👏🏼 !!!
COOL I ALWAYS WOUNDERED HOW WE GET SUNFLOWER SEEDS THANK YOU.
This is the best video ever
Thanks!
We have a lot of deer! I want to grow my own Sunflowers - the only ones you can find here are from flower shops that grow little patches of their own. New Subscriber from Montana -
Beginner Gardner. Thank you for this video!
I think every animal likes to eat sunflowers...that is the blessing and the curse. they are so easy to grow though. If you check out Hoss tools website they have a lot to choose from! the pro cuts are pretty cool because they are specifically for cut flowers. Sunflowers are perfect for beginners!
My grand daughter wants to meet upu so she can grown sunflowers like you. Great job
Amazing video
Hi Guys i found you via Jill when you Guys were 2022.
.at HOA. We hope to move to Retire in about 5 years to buy a 5 Befroom and 10 Acres..We
have 4 Grown ups and 16 Grandkids We live in England xc We do noy have a Large Garden at all..We grow lots of Sunflowers for a lovely 92 For Year ols, so that when Lillian washes up can see our Flowers that we grow x Hope to do a Beekeeping course as we woild like Bees x
Isn’t Jill and Nate great! They have our hearts. What a great plan! Sunflower’s bring everyone joy!
Thank you share to show , how I ‘m to make sunflower seeds .
You are most welcome
Awesome sunflower harvest! I just harvested mine. Have you guys ever tried using the dried stalks for building a teepee trellis or staking plants in the garden? I’m saving mine this year and going to try it! Have a great week!!
City Foodie Farm we have not but we have bamboo to use as a substitute. The boys have had sword fights with the stalks so we have ok doubt they will work as a trellis 😊 you have a great week as well! And thanks for taking the time to comment. We really appreciate it 😊
4 Kids and a Farm my kiddos do the same! Haha
I've used them before in "bug hotels" (where you get a bunch of materials with holes that good bugs can use as a house, so as to encourage them to live in your garden). Bugs seemed to really like them, so there's another use for you if you have little pieces left over :)
You should care about the plant stems (and leaves) because they can be pressed for sunflower oil. Maybe put a plastic or canvas tarp under the bowl to catch any seeds that might pop/fall into the grass?
I’m not sure if any oil can be obtained form the leaf or the stem. The oil is from the seeds.
Holy crap that's mesmerizing isn't it
It is very satisfying!
Great video thank you
Jason Patton thank you! Now we have to get the rest of the garden in gear!
@@4KidsandaFarm all in time and great memories it's not about the work it's the fun and teaching your family thanks for letting us watch
