My first harvest of sunflower seeds was quite productive. It was a bit of work. First, I hand picked the seeds from the flower head. Some seeds had not pollinated and those were composted. Next I sorted through the seeds to remove any flower parts which remained. After a quick rinse and dry, the seeds pod is ready to crack open to reveal a delicious nugget.

Ho do you tell which seeds have not germinated?
When the seed has germinated, the shell is full and round. If it has not germinated, it is flat because the seed inside has not developed.
opps! I said germinated and I meant pollinated. Sorry.
