    I planted sunflowers for the first time this year 2020 and how amazing are these sunflowers! The seed were sent to me as a promotion to help the bees to thrive. Absolutely, love that idea to store the seeds in a mason jar as I was wondering the best way to store them and remember the next year to plant them. Many thanks for your video and ideas!

      Hi Lisa , yay you ! So happy to hear you have sunflowers and bees 🐝. Super combination .
      The best way to store the sunflower seeds is to make sure they are super dry before putting them in the mason jars . Then find a cool dark place to leave the jars in and you are all set until it’s time to plant the sunflower seeds in spring . Happy planting 👍🌻🤗

    Hi Kelly,
    I planted sunflowers for the first time in 2021 here in South Australia, Australia. What I love about these flowers is that they just make me happy and bring me joy. So much so that I have made it a mission to plant them every year from now on. I watched your video on how to harvest the seeds and plan to do them and share with friends. I'm also going to check out your other videos just because you have such a nice vibe about you. Have a nice day :)

I have always loved sunflowers but now I love sunflowers. I will never go without sunflowers in my garden again. ❤️🌻

    Hi. Just come across your video today. I'm from New Zealand so my seasons are opposite. I tried planting Sun Flower from seeds that were given to me, for first time. I planted from in my greenhouse early spring and transplanted to a spot in my garden at start of summer. They worked out very well and want to try growing from my current crop. Our summer season is about to come to an end. I found your video very helpful. Thank you.

    You can also start your sunflower seeds, before the last frost, by putting them in a folded paper towel, sprayed with water & put them in a container like a shallow plastic container with a lid. That keeps the moisture in & in about a week or so they will have sprouted a root tendril, then you can plant them.

    I have 2 questions. Can I cut my dying sunflower heads earlier and let the head dry out somewhere out of sight before harvesting the seeds so it's not an eye sore? Second question is how long does it take for seeds to dry out before I can replant? I live in California, so we don't get frost seasons very often.

    Viewing from England. I think I planted my seeds to late this year. What is the latest you can plant them. I have seen big heads of sunflowers on sale in fruit and veg shop. The back of at least some of them seems a bit damp and they are partly green. What should I do to store these seeds?

    You save your flower seeds. How is that possible when (my understanding that most sunflowers are hybrids). How do you get the same flower from open pollination? Love this video.

    • @KellyLehman
      @KellyLehman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Avis , awesome sunflower question! 👏👏 I grow a lot of different varieties of sunflowers . I also have a honeybee hive so lots of cross pollination takes place in the field . The seeds I harvest give me flowers the following year that are a mixture of the varieties. It’s pretty cool to see the blends . 🌸🌸🌻🌻🌻

    Hi Kelly, nice informative video you have about sunflowers. I grow sunflowers every year , the giant variety and the dwarf ones. This year, I decided to save all the seeds . I dried the seeds under the sun...will they still germinate next year?

    • @KellyLehman
      @KellyLehman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your sunflower question 👏🌻. Yes as long as you harvested them when they were super mature and plump . They should give you lovely sunflowers next summer . 🤗🤗🌻🌻🌻

    • @KellyLehman
      @KellyLehman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Super question ! I have to say that I’ve never planted them in the same season since we get the cold but I would imagine they should be good to go as soon as they dry out . If you try it , please let me know your results . 🤗🤗👍

    My yellow sunflower produced white seeds that fell out readily into my hand. However, they haven't germinated. I read that white sunflower seeds are immature...but since they fell out of the head (brown and dry head) easily, I assumed they were "ripe."

    Thanks Kelly,
    I planted sunflowers for the first time this summer in Victoria, Australia. The seeds that germinated best were the ones planted point down. Is there a best direction to plant the seeds?
    Looking forward to harvesting the seeds and planting hundreds of Sunflowers next spring.

  • @mclovin9151

    Just for fun I planted about 40k seeds over like an acre. Months later I have a ton of seeds but did not dry out the heads first. I just snipped all of the heads and laid them to dry in the sun, making the birds job easy. So I started covering them when I left the farm at night and the Goldfinches went hungry haha. Anyway now I have buckets of seeds that are not all totally dry. I am stirring them up periodically and moving them to containers allowing more surface area exposed for drying. I am thinking about baking them, do you or anyone else have any experience drying already extracted seeds?

    • @KellyLehman
      @KellyLehman  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi David , oh wow, 40 k seeds is a lot . Loved your comment ! How cool 😎.
      Do you know if the seeds were mature on the plant when you harvested the heads ? If they were still kind of soft and green/white and (instead of being plump large and brown) they may not have matured enough to give you seeds that would grow new plants . They also may not have enough “meat” inside to make for a baked sunflower treat worth snacking on if they were not fully mature.
      I am wondering if they had enough water ( or too much water) and if you planted them in full sun ( which they love) .
      I have a family of goldfinches snacking in my sunflower field and I find it to be so magical to watch . If these seeds won’t grow , at least you can enjoy the heavenly scene of these beautiful birds . Good luck 👍 🌻🌻🌻🌻

    • @mclovin9151
      @mclovin9151 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KellyLehman Oh I bet they will grow! There are tons of them hahah. It was an experiment and now we get to watch all of the birds. Next season we'll buy better seeds we just put sunflower seeds from bags of bird feed, lots of multi-headed flowers but some produced single big heads which I will save of those seeds.
      Many weren't full mature (white seeds in middle) but all in all we got a lot of seeds from it. Next season there will also be less weeds as we pull them out and allow the sunflowers to take over.

      You are very welcome . You can try surrounding the perimeter of your garden bed with coffee grounds, cayenne pepper or irish spring soap shavings . Dried coyote urine sprinkeled around the garden helps too . I have these items and more listed in my amazon shop page . here is a link ➡️ amazon.com/shop/kellylehman

    @TheTiredmamaof5 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video! Thank you. I removed my seeds and they have been drying out on a paper towel in my garage for about a week. Can the seeds become too dried out to germinate again?

    • @KellyLehman
      @KellyLehman  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Karen , i dont think so . As long as you keep them away from sunlight and a heat source they should be good . In a few weeks, you can put them in a paper bar or mason jars and store them in a cool dark place like a basement until spring comes .Happy gardening ! 🌸😊Kelly

    Hey Kelly, I had a really cool looking sunflower pop up this year, and I want to save some seeds for planting. My question though, is whether I can plant the seeds directly from the sunflower head- into the dirt; as they are coming off easily right now. Do I absolutely have to store them for a couple months, and completely dry them for them to grow? Or could I just throw them in the dirt immediately? I threw a couple in the dirt about a week ago and nothing has popped up yet. Thanks!

  • @odiswhitetexas
    @odiswhitetexas 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do the Cardinals and other birds not basically harvest the seeds before you can get to them? What can you tell us about birds and sunflowers? Also, do the sunflowers naturally drop seeds and make it difficult to control their future population? Thanks!

    • @KellyLehman
      @KellyLehman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awesome sunflower questions ! 👏 The sunflowers will drop their seeds eventually onto the ground beneath it. Last year I had an entire field replant itself .
      The birds often get to the seeds in most gardens before they have a chance to replant themselves in the dirt though.
      I have a family of good finches that I love to watch in my sunflower fields . I plant lots of extra flowers for them .
      If you harvest your mature sunflower heads just after the heads droop , the outside ray flower drop off , and the seeds look plump and ripe and then hang them upside down by the stalks in a cool dry place . You can beat the birds from getting to them first . 🌻🌻🌎😊😊😊
