At the start of the summer we were gifted with a bag full of mammoth sunflower seeds saved from a friends garden. We planted them in our own garden beds and they quickly grew into proud and very tall flowers. The other day we cut them down(with a saw no less!)and plucked out their plump seeds to save for next season when we will plant them again. It is such a nice thing to do, such a celebration of the cyclical nature of life and a lovely way for new little hands to work away.
We have hens and give them to them. And save some for the next year, our chooks think it is heaven. cheers Marie
