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.

Nice job. You followed the principles of presenting information. "Tell them what you're gonna tell them, TELL THEM, Then tell them what you told them". Works everything to get information sunk into someone's mind! I've got a few S/F heads I need to harvest so this is good information for me. Thank you.

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

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

This year I got a multi head autumn sunset sunflower that grew to 14ft, right over my front porch roof!

[@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

[@timb7775]

I had a 30oz coffee can full of seeds from last year I had collected so earlier this year I planted alot, just poke them 1/2" in the ground close together. As they start growing I thinned them out leaving the best looking seedlings to grow. I even planted a few more a month afterwards and they grew quickly catching up to the rest. I found alot of sunflowers just randomly growing all around yard, must have been from the squirrels last year collecting and burying the seeds everywhere. I probably mowed down more than I had planted.

[@JuliaBrunkey]

thank you!

[@BeatlesRock44]

Thank you for this video. Do I leave them on the plant till the leaves drop off and then take them and drive them in a shed or a garage?

[@gardentours]

Thanks for sharing 👍 I hope next year the slugs 🐌 willnot eat all my 🌻🌻🌻🌻 and I can dry them as well. Thanks for sharing 🌻👍

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

Thanks for watching! Aw what a bummer, best of luck next year 🌿

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

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?

[@archiesnownose2117]

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

[@KrissiKarter]

How do you make sure the sunflower bugs don't get them before harvesting? Mine were full of Itty bitty black worms, I think they are called sunflower moths

[@whocanitbeifitaintme]

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

[@LESLIEESHARP]

When should those seeds be planted

[@whocanitbeifitaintme]

😘🌻😍‼️

[@SwtTrisha8]

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

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

About 2-4 weeks is typical 😊

[@bellewaters1346]

Mammoth sunflowers

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?

[@Ninabeana13]

They’re easier to remove when dry. Also they keep well with no moisture, add a little silica packet from a pill bottle. They will mold if there’s a hint of moisture. You can regrow the next year with those seeds. Also you can roast a fresh sunflower head with garlic, oil, and plenty of seasonings. Tastes like a nutty artichoke.

[@hombrepobre9646]

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

[@Bent-Ice]

Why dry

[@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 !!!

[@lifeisgood070]

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

[@MrFirefox]

Those are massive wtf
