Sunflower seed harvest







Today we harvested sunflower seeds. With over 60 sunflower plants, we shared plenty with the birds and squirrels and now have a bucket full soaking in water. They have to soak over night then we will lay them in the sunshine tomorrow to let them dry...then it's oven roasting time! Celia was so excited to help and be a part of the process. What a grand little gardener she is. She collected a few specimens to take to her classroom science table so that her friends at school can see how fun gathering sunflower seeds can be!
