How to Harvest and Dry Sunflower Heads!

It's time to harvest and dry our mammoth sunflowers that we grew in this years garden. This instructional video will show you just how easy it is to prepare your sunflower seeds for harvest or for roasting into delicious homemade snacks. We are extremely happy with the results of this years sunflowers and I attribute that to the great weather conditions for sunflowers and all of the incredible organic fertilizer and compost that we've been making at home as well.

This video is filmed so well. I feel like I’m watching pbs 🥺 good job and thank you for making this video, I’ve been wondering how to.

[@sharoncherry8718]

I grew one this year the biggest i ever grew over 6ft tall. I would of had more but the critters got the seeds I planted. It was fun watching how tall it got

[@SimplyCanningSharon]

Your sunflower face made me smile 😊. Rubbing this flowers off is the best part.

[@stevenspencer9104]

Well my brother, that was a cool blessing. Going to try to grow couple hundred plants this year. South Louisiana.

Collect those wee flowers you rubbed off, dry them and they can used to make tea.

Great video, I got given some mammoth heads today, will follow your advice on how to dry them. Just wondering how long they take to dry out so they are like your dried out brown one?

[@joyfulhomemaker8053]

I’m growing mammoth and two other species of sunflowers. Two are specifically called “snack” sunflowers (including the mammoth ones).. Did I make a mistake planting all three types? I have them labeled and there is such a difference between them. The snack ones really attract the bees. My mammoths are HUGE but haven’t flowered yet

[@whocanitbeifitaintme]

😘🌻😍‼️

[@limonchik5644]

I can’t find an answer anywhere, did you ever re-grew a sunflower head? I planted one last year, and cut the head when it was pretty small Now my sunflower grew very, very tall And I have a new flower !!!

[@mcstucky18]

Why do you have to let the sunflower heads dry until they are brown to harvest the seeds? Can you harvest seeds when the head is yellow or if the seeds look plump and are already starting to fall out even if the head isnt brown yet?

[@whocanitbeifitaintme]

Please inform me of how to gain that biggest mammoth 🌻😍‼️

[@archiesnownose2117]

Hi. I’ve taken my sunflower seeds out but didn’t dry the head will they be ok?

[@LESLIEESHARP]

When should those seeds be planted

[@bellewaters1346]

They are huge what brand are they

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

Mammoth sunflowers

[@hombrepobre9646]

I have a problem, why is my sunflower seeds in the middle didn't mature? and there is some rotting sunflower head.

[@SwtTrisha8]

How long does it take to dry? About how long.

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

About 2-4 weeks is typical 😊

[@Bent-Ice]

Why dry

Another video where they literally didn't hang a single flower
