My sunflower?

i have a newly sprouted sunflower seed and it keeps growing but when it grows huge leaves they die and new leaves grow why is that?

My sunflower?
You should place it by a window, and water it at least a little bit each day. Using fertilizers also help.
Reply:It's trying to get taller. Is it getting enough sunlight?

Sowing sunflower seeds!!?

I bougth a packet of sunflower seeds and it says to sow 18 inches apart. Anyway what I want to know when sowing them do you just place one seed 18 inches apart? Or is it better to sow 2 or 3 seeds together and then sow another 2 or 3 seeds 18 down?? Its just that 1 or 2 of them may not sow, so by sowing 2 or 3 together that will improve the chances of at least one of them sowing. because I want to plant them evenly all along one side of the wall.

Sowing sunflower seeds!!?
I usually plant them 2 seeds 2 inches apart and then space 18 inches apart and do it again. That way I can thin out the weaker of the two if needed and move it to a space that didn't fill in.
Reply:I panted 6 in one big pot, I put one in the middle and the others going around the sides. When the 2nd set of leaves grew I seperated them and planted then were I wanted them.





I have had no problems with any dying.
Reply:sow the 2 or 3.....more chance for production of at least one....this is the way my husband and I plant all flowers...good luck
Reply:2 seeds to a hole will do the trick. You will be amazed how easily they grow...and how wonderful and happy they will look. If you see that both plants are growing from the one hole, remove one of them and put it somewhere else, otherwise they will fight with eachother for space. Dont forget that once the flowers have finished, you can cultivate the seeds from the flower head. They are great for eating too. Goodluck.

Germinating sunflower seeds?

I recently planted about 20 different varieties of sunflower seeds. About 5 of these popped after 4 or 5 days, it has now been 10 days and no sign of the rest. Is this normal ? If so, when can I expect to see them?

Germinating sunflower seeds?
maybe you should do something to make the soil better(like adding some more fertilizer). that can be the solution but there are other smart answerers who may know more than me lol.
Reply:My favorite, the Mammoth Russian Sunflower, can take up to 14 days for germination. Also make sure the soil is draining properly. They can take a drought, so over watering can sometimes be a factor in slow germination. Test the soil with your finger. If the soil is wet sooner than 1/2" deep, it may be too much water. After the plant is well established a depth of 4" to wet/moist soil is more appropriate. :)
Reply:I recently bought 6 varieties of sunflower and, rather than sow them outdoors like it said on the packet, I popped them in a propogator to give them the best start. Mine have taken anything from a week to a week and a half to germinate but at least I know that this way I will be guaranteed some plants! Some of the varieties take longer than others I guess but it all depends on where you have sown them, how deeply, what the soil conditions are like and whether they are getting enough sun and water.





I think you'll just have to suck it and see, if a month has passed and there is still no sign of anything happening then the rest have perished in one way or another!
Reply:large seed like sunflowers germinate better if the seed is soaked before planting ... if you have directly sowen in to the ground mice just love them them.
Reply:Could be the little woodland creatures got ahold of the seeds and if that is the case, you WON'T see them germinate! Sunflower seeds are VERY popular with all of the birds and squirrels that I know.





Depending on how fresh the seeds were, it might take up to 2 weeks to see anything green pop up; also, depending on where you live, the weather will have an influence.





The show up on my back lawn by the thousands every spring because I feed the seeds to the birds and squirrels.





Have you planted those nice red sunflowers? They looked awesome in the Burpee catalog.





Happy green thumbing. ;-)
Reply:wet a rag real well, put the seeds on it and fold it over. after bout 24 hours then plant. that has been the only way i even got them to grow. good luck.


(make sure rag is wet enough)
Reply:different varieties germinate at different times it is possible that they might be rotten give some more time if nothing happens replant


What is happening with my young sunflower sprout?

My sunflower sprout is planted in a cup of fertilized potting soil. It is 9.5 inches tall and has 3 pairs of leaves, with 1 very young pair of buds near the top. Most of the stem is covered in little white fuzzy hairs. The bottom pair of leaves is turning yellow and limp, does anyone know why? I am planning to replant the sunflower soon. Should I add fertilizer? I remember the same thing happened to a friend of mine but it was planted in open soil outside. I water it every few days and it is sprouted VERY quickly when I planted it. It is a black oil sunflower and I got the seed from a bird feeder. Does anyone know why the bottom pair of leaves is turning yellow?

What is happening with my young sunflower sprout?
Probably getting root bound. transplant it soon and don't worry about fertilizer. Just water regularly and make sure it s in the sun. Just one?
Reply:I work in a retail green house with 4" to 5gal pots. Horticulture Dept grows them from seeds/plugs in those pots depending on their growth potential. At your plant's stage it is ready for a bigger pot. The yellow leaves are due to watering. The bigger the plant, smaller the pot - harder it is to maintain ideal water conditions. Replanting it into a 1 gal pot will keep it going awhile once it gets over that shock or you could just be brave and put it in the ground. Good luck.


Are sunflower seeds.....?

Are sunflower seed and flax seeds in the same category as nuts? If the doctor said you cannot have nuts, does that include these also? I forgot to ask him. I would like to know before I am able to talk to him again.


Thanks!!

Are sunflower seeds.....?
Nope. they're seeds. not nuts!
Reply:They are probably in the same category as nuts since nuts are seeds anyway.
Reply:i think u shouldent eat any thing u think is part of nuts untill u ask ur doc lol its better to be safe then sorry
Reply:Yes, sunflower seeds are a 'nut' in the legume family. Nuts are really seeds themselves. If you were to buy some seeds to plant peanut plants you would get a package of peanuts to plant.


Now this is not to say that sunflower seeds and the sort would have the same affect on your body's chemistry as the usual nuts we are most familar with. Just like if somebody were allergic to peanuts they may well be able to eat walnuts with absolutely no ill effects.





So in closing I could put this way: All nuts are seeds, but not all seeds are neccesarily nuts. To error on the side of caution I would recommend you avoid all nuts and seeds until you can consult with your doctor further.
Reply:Yes they are
Reply:I would not eat any nuts because if you are allergic it could cause death! Don't eat any nuts until you can speak with your doctor.





Good Luck.





Take care.

Can i feed a dove sunflower seeds?

my dove we bought at a flee market.i have this wall sticking out next to my window.and i put the doves cage there.then it flys and comes back.i put hay to make it warm.anyways can i feed it sunflower seeds.and sometimes it gets windy will my dove survive living outside or should i take it inside.

Can i feed a dove sunflower seeds?
As for your heading question, yes. I feed doves as well as squirrels, rabbits and other animals and birds black oil sunflower seeds and they love them.


Your bird will survive until a hawk, cat or teenager with a bb gun gets it. I would not recommend you letting it loose if you plan on having a long relationship with the bird. Hawks really like doves because they are slow flying and do not respond as fast as some other birds.
Reply:Yes, doves love sunflower seeds.





No, you should not allow your dove to fly free (unless it is a homing pigeon).





In the US, it is illegal to intentionally release domestic stock into the wild - first, they compete with native species for food and resources, second, they can interbreed with the native stock, hybridizing the population and third, they can introduce disease into the native population.





Not to mention that it is cruel to release domestic animals that no longer have the necessary survival skills to exist in the wild.

Sunflower seeds?
The only nuts that have omega-3s are walnuts, all the others have omega-6. Omega 6s are essential for health also but most americans eat much more omega 6 than 3 which is unhealthy because the ideally, you should consume equal amounts of both.

Sunflower seeds, how do they do it?
I think manufacturer send the seeds to China since labor is cheap and they hull the seeds there. :-)





Seriously, the seed are probably sent through rollers that are set to crush the shells, but allows the nut to pass through. Afterwards it probably goes through some type of tumbler further loosen the hull and onto filtering screens (or blowers) to separate the seed from the shell.

Sunflower oil for your teeth...what do you think?

Back in December, I came across the concept of "Oil Pulling", or oil swishing. Basically you swish or 'pull' oil through and in and around your mouth, and then spit it out.


I began swishing sunflower oil in my mouth for 10-15 minutes in the mornings...





I noticed a change within 3 days, but I was skeptical and wanted to be absolutely certain.





I started doing this December 15th. I can honestly say that the plaque and tartar are gone and my teeth are whiter.


They're also much thicker and feel more solid in my mouth. Plus my gums are improving quite a bit.





Six months ago, I was looking at having all my teeth pulled and getting dentures. I don't have to do that anymore. :)





Oil pulling is DEFINITELY worth a try, imo!!!

Sunflower oil for your teeth...what do you think?
A load of hooey. I especially love the part where you said


"They're also much thicker and feel more solid in my mouth"

Sunflower seed for wedding favors?

Do you think giving a small package of sunflower seeds would be an appropriate wedding favor? I was thinking of adding a note that says something like help your love grow. I am having a fall wedding and am working on a limited budget.

Sunflower seed for wedding favors?
Sounds lovely. Heres a sugestion for the note on the packets.

Reply:Its appropriate, but maybe not practical. Are these edible sunflower seeds or plantable? If plantable, I would say no since you can't expect everyone to go home and plant them...it would be a waste of money. I always recommend something edible which can be as simple as M%26amp;Ms or Ghirardelli chocolates (which you can get in fall colors as autumn approaches.) Another idea might be to make fall themed cookies (in the shape of leaves) and put them in cookie bags

Sunflower Seeds?

Hey all, lately, these past two weeks, i've been snacking on salted sunflower seeds like no other. The reason i like them is because of the salt, but lately Ive also noticed bags under my eyes which may be the result of dehydration caused by the salted seeds...I eat A LOT like we bought two jumbo bags, each about the size of a watermelon, and I would say a contributed to a lot of that, so I was wondering if this much salt is gonna own me in the long run? thanks

Sunflower Seeds?
The bags could also be caused by stress or lack of sleep. I would stay off the seeds for some time. If the bags don't go away I would see a professional. Sunflower seeds are somewhat good for you but like everything else if they are consumed in large quantity they can make you sick.

Mother's Day Sunflower?

So I have a kindergartener, and like every kindergartener since the beginning of time, he has planted me the Mother's Day sunflower in the plastic cup.





The thing is, I have never planted a thing in my life. Never.





Now last week I put it on the patio (we live in an apartment) to get lots of sun. (It is a sunflower, after all). A few nights later a huge storm came through and knocked it off the balcony, crashing it to the ground. The soil was half gone, and filled with water.





Being the mommy that I am, I didn't want to break his heart and tell him that his very first MD gift was ruined, so I gathered my things, and snuckoff to Wal-Mart. I got new soil, and new seeds, and replanted. That was two days ago.





Today, I see a sprout! Is this the original seed? Is this the new seed? How can this be?! I just planted them two days ago! And now what do I do?





Jeepers creepers! Who knew one little gift could be so much work!

Mother's Day Sunflower?
Well, it all depends on what temperature the pot is at. Since mother's day was about 6 days ago, I'm going to guess that the sprout that came up was the original seed. I planted a bunch of sunflowers with my kids (and a whole bunch of other things) the day before mother's day, and quite a few of the sunflowers already sprouted by the middle of the week. Sunflowers were the first thing to come out. They grow very fast. You will be amazed.


I doubt this is the new seed, but it is possible if the pot was kept very warm (like 75-90 degrees it could sprout that fast.





I would encourage you to not be afraid to get your fingers dirty and enjoy planting things with your kid. It is a really wonderful thing and if you have any questions about gardening, there's always Yahoo answers, or you can send me a message and I should be able to help.





A thing about sunflowers: they love to be fed a lot. Once it starts to grow. Depending on what kind it is, if it shoots up, (some will grow over 10 feet tall) give it a generous amount of fertilizer. They deplete the soil really fast. Your little guy will be fascinated.
Reply:Well, I think you are awful cute! And a good mommy! The truth is, it doesn't matter what is growing in the little pot. Just ooo and ahh as long he is interested. My kids had a pet rabbit that they just loved! One day about three months after I gave the rabbit away, my daughter came running in from school, saying. Daddy, I need to feed my rabbit! We went out into the back yard and was amazed to find the rabbit gone. We looked all over and finaly decided, that, the mommy must have missed it and came and took it home. End of story.

Stupid deer eating my birds' sunflower seeds...help?

How do I keep deer from eating the sunflower seeds out of my bird feeders? They lick and nudge the things until the seeds fall out. They can drain them in one night. They've become so "used" to me yelling at them that they're almost tame now.





I love deer, but not 8' from my house stealing my birdseed every evening and night!





I've tried hanging wind chimes from the pole...worked for one night. I've tried putting old tv antenna aluminum rods hanging there, I've put a plastic flower wind whirly-gig on the pole too...none of it deters them.





What else (reasonable -nothing like 'electric fence') can I do to stop them or scare them???

I sound like a bad person!!
Reply:You should try yelling at them or maybe hang some wind chimes from the pole. If that doesnt work then put some aluminum rods up, just hanging around it, maybe from an old tv antenna or something.

Reply:Place antlers on front porch, but the ones still connected to the head and face. Solved.

When can I transfer a sunflower seed outside from an inside pot?
From link below "Transplant seedlings that you started indoors outside as soon as the last spring frost has passed, making sure to harden them off first. Prepare the soil as you would for seeds. To plant, loosen the seedling from its pot (you may need to run an old table knife around the inside of the planting container). Use a hand trowel to dig a hole, and set your plant in the hole. Firm soil around the base of the plant and water well. If you planted the seeds in peat pots, set the entire pot in the hole and firm in soil, making sure to cover the entire peat pot. Any part of the pot that’s exposed to the surface can act as a wick, drying out the plant too quickly."


What would look nice with sunflower colored skinnys and red flats?

I have bought a pair of sunflower(yellow) skinny jeans and i want to wear red flats with them and red accessories i just need and idea for a top i would like to spend under 20 dollars please help.

What would look nice with sunflower colored skinnys and red flats?
if you have a white screen-printed tee with yellow and red in the design, i think that would be the ideal.





if you want to be a little risky/outrageous with it, i think this top with a red or yellow tank under it could look really cute:

Reply:ew. that doesn't really sound good together.
Reply:Wear a plain shirt in a neutral color because you have a lot of different bright colors going on at once. White would probably be the best.
Reply:colors - white or navy blue ( the navy is a better challenge )





i would suggest a poofier top - because of the skinny jeans - with big red bangles





you could be safe and go red or yellow - but whats the fun in that unless you wear a red and white polka dot button down that is cinched at the wasit with an extra large (wide) navy blue belt around your waist on the outside of the shirt - with the red bangles - that would be fun -





or a navy blue with white polka dots and a large red belt -

How do I keep a sunflower forever?

My boyfriend gave me a sunflower as a farewell gift. I want to keep this flower in anyway as long as I have a part of the flower without it looking dead. I already took a picture of it but that's not so special. I want to keep it in a special way. It's the size of a hand. =)

How do I keep a sunflower forever?
hang it upside down and let it dry out. then th flower part will be straight up when its dry--and it will last when its dry--i still have the rose my brother gave me for his graduation 8 years ago
Reply:Keep the, sunflower in full sun watered. then collect the seeds and plant them in a pot, after the plant commpletly died (they are in the flower) They will grow. keep doing this and the plant will grow forever
Reply:Take a picture just in case drying doesnt work.





Hang it upside down in a dark cool place like a closet and hope it dries good,


Softball!!! How come??? oh, and sunflower seeds?

Why isnt softball included in the sports catagory but baseball is??? I think thats not right!!!





AND WHAT IS UR FAVORITE FLAVOR ON SUNFLOWER SEEDS??

Softball!!! How come??? oh, and sunflower seeds?
i think that people believe that the questions can be answered in baseball and most of them can, however there are certain things like pitching that can't be answered in baseball.





what you can do is go to the forum and suggest a softball category. then try to get people to vote for it. if you do suggest one let me know and i will vote.








i think we eat DAVID brand regular sunflower seeds
Reply:I don't know why softball is not included. I totally agree and i think that it should be a catergory. It isn't right and there is alot of softball players out there that would love to write in this catergory.


And yeah i love sunflower seeds. My favorite would have to be the bar-be-que
Reply:It's basically the same sport.





And BBQ is my favorite flavor
Reply:I think its assumed that you can ask softball questions IN the baseball section. It would just be wasting space when the two sports are fairly similar. If you have a question about softball, though, you're more than welcome to ask it in this section! I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers.





I like regular sunflower seeds. Ha ha.


Can I feed my Hamster sunflower seeds from the supermarket?

I was wondering if I could feed my Dwarf Hamsters sunflower seeds I bought from the Sporting Good Store (supermarket)?

Can I feed my Hamster sunflower seeds from the supermarket?
Sure. But don't forget to give it it's regular food as well.
Reply:Yes
Reply:You can, but I wouldn't recommend it, because sunflower seeds that were made for human enjoyment usually are salted, and that's not good for a hamster. You'd be better off getting him the unsalted ones specifically packaged for hamsters at the pet store.
Reply:I THINK so! maby not! I'm pretty sure though!
Reply:Yes you can. I did it and he liked ie so you can feed them it.
Reply:As long as they are unsalted they should be fine..
Reply:ONLY if there is no salt nor preservatives.
Reply:yes but only original flavor
Reply:Eeeh, be careful...they may have added too much salt for the little guys, or may have some sort of flavouring with goodness knows what kind of preservatives/chemicals that might be bad for them.





If you want to stay on the safe side, just purchase unsalted or seeds that are meant specifically for pet consumption.





Good luck with your pets!
Reply:they contain too much salt. Maybe unsalted organic seeds


Sunflower seeds, how do they do it?

How do they get the sunflower seeds from out of the shell? By hand it would take way too long, What's the secret???

Sunflower seeds, how do they do it?
I think manufacturer send the seeds to China since labor is cheap and they hull the seeds there. :-)





Seriously, the seed are probably sent through rollers that are set to crush the shells, but allows the nut to pass through. Afterwards it probably goes through some type of tumbler further loosen the hull and onto filtering screens (or blowers) to separate the seed from the shell.

Sunflower oil for your teeth...what do you think?

Back in December, I came across the concept of "Oil Pulling", or oil swishing. Basically you swish or 'pull' oil through and in and around your mouth, and then spit it out.


I began swishing sunflower oil in my mouth for 10-15 minutes in the mornings...





I noticed a change within 3 days, but I was skeptical and wanted to be absolutely certain.





I started doing this December 15th. I can honestly say that the plaque and tartar are gone and my teeth are whiter.


They're also much thicker and feel more solid in my mouth. Plus my gums are improving quite a bit.





Six months ago, I was looking at having all my teeth pulled and getting dentures. I don't have to do that anymore. :)





Oil pulling is DEFINITELY worth a try, imo!!!

Sunflower oil for your teeth...what do you think?
A load of hooey. I especially love the part where you said


"They're also much thicker and feel more solid in my mouth"


What are thicker? Your teeth???? Impossible.





Thanks for a good laugh.

I do know Hydrogen Peroxide as a mouth wash will heal your gums of most any problems.

Sunflower seed for wedding favors?

Do you think giving a small package of sunflower seeds would be an appropriate wedding favor? I was thinking of adding a note that says something like help your love grow. I am having a fall wedding and am working on a limited budget.

Sunflower seed for wedding favors?
Sounds lovely. Heres a sugestion for the note on the packets.


LOVE GROWS


With every marriage a seed is planted that when given kindness and understanding, will grow and blossom into enduring love





You could order seed packet favors here or make your own similar to these.

Reply:Its appropriate, but maybe not practical. Are these edible sunflower seeds or plantable? If plantable, I would say no since you can't expect everyone to go home and plant them...it would be a waste of money. I always recommend something edible which can be as simple as M%26amp;Ms or Ghirardelli chocolates (which you can get in fall colors as autumn approaches.) Another idea might be to make fall themed cookies (in the shape of leaves) and put them in cookie bags
Reply:I think it is cute. Go for it!
Reply:sure that is a adorable idea also think of making it a kit get some soil an a decorated pot with your names on it? also if its in the winter do some apple cider or hot coco mix an a coffee cup
Reply:I think that would be adorable if dressed up right - place them in cute organza bags (cheap on ebay) or somthing like that to make them look great.


Sunflower Seeds?

Hey all, lately, these past two weeks, i've been snacking on salted sunflower seeds like no other. The reason i like them is because of the salt, but lately Ive also noticed bags under my eyes which may be the result of dehydration caused by the salted seeds...I eat A LOT like we bought two jumbo bags, each about the size of a watermelon, and I would say a contributed to a lot of that, so I was wondering if this much salt is gonna own me in the long run? thanks

Sunflower Seeds?
The bags could also be caused by stress or lack of sleep. I would stay off the seeds for some time. If the bags don't go away I would see a professional. Sunflower seeds are somewhat good for you but like everything else if they are consumed in large quantity they can make you sick.
Reply:i hear you.............. i love seeds!
Reply:I dont think its the seeds causing the bags. But you can always buy the reduced salted seeds, thats wat im munching on right now
Reply:That's Nothing I Eat Way More........Just Kidding








Its The Salt That's Makes You Addicted To Them


If You Want To Break The Addiction Just Get The Sunflower Bag Out Of Sight. Then Get A Snickers And Eat It. After Drink A Little Water And You Wont Have The Urge To Eat Them Anymore

Mother's Day Sunflower?

So I have a kindergartener, and like every kindergartener since the beginning of time, he has planted me the Mother's Day sunflower in the plastic cup.





The thing is, I have never planted a thing in my life. Never.





Now last week I put it on the patio (we live in an apartment) to get lots of sun. (It is a sunflower, after all). A few nights later a huge storm came through and knocked it off the balcony, crashing it to the ground. The soil was half gone, and filled with water.





Being the mommy that I am, I didn't want to break his heart and tell him that his very first MD gift was ruined, so I gathered my things, and snuckoff to Wal-Mart. I got new soil, and new seeds, and replanted. That was two days ago.





Today, I see a sprout! Is this the original seed? Is this the new seed? How can this be?! I just planted them two days ago! And now what do I do?





Jeepers creepers! Who knew one little gift could be so much work!

Mother's Day Sunflower?
Well, it all depends on what temperature the pot is at. Since mother's day was about 6 days ago, I'm going to guess that the sprout that came up was the original seed. I planted a bunch of sunflowers with my kids (and a whole bunch of other things) the day before mother's day, and quite a few of the sunflowers already sprouted by the middle of the week. Sunflowers were the first thing to come out. They grow very fast. You will be amazed.


I doubt this is the new seed, but it is possible if the pot was kept very warm (like 75-90 degrees it could sprout that fast.





I would encourage you to not be afraid to get your fingers dirty and enjoy planting things with your kid. It is a really wonderful thing and if you have any questions about gardening, there's always Yahoo answers, or you can send me a message and I should be able to help.





A thing about sunflowers: they love to be fed a lot. Once it starts to grow. Depending on what kind it is, if it shoots up, (some will grow over 10 feet tall) give it a generous amount of fertilizer. They deplete the soil really fast. Your little guy will be fascinated.
Reply:Well, I think you are awful cute! And a good mommy! The truth is, it doesn't matter what is growing in the little pot. Just ooo and ahh as long he is interested. My kids had a pet rabbit that they just loved! One day about three months after I gave the rabbit away, my daughter came running in from school, saying. Daddy, I need to feed my rabbit! We went out into the back yard and was amazed to find the rabbit gone. We looked all over and finaly decided, that, the mommy must have missed it and came and took it home. End of story.
Reply:looks like your going to have one decorated patio this summer!!


I Need My Sunflower Seed Fix!!!?

Sunflower seeds, just how bad are they for you?

I eat a lot of sunflower seeds. I munch on them throughout the day and don't snack on any other foods, other than fruit and my meals. Aside from being high in sodium, is there another reason I should steer away from them? (Oh, and they are Spitz brand)

Sunflower seeds, just how bad are they for you?
If you eat unsalted and unflavored ones you can eat them all day. They have natural oils in them that are good for you. As for spitz, they have preservatives, and too much sodium which is bad for you. Try eating plain ones which are actually healthy for you. Or switch to eating healthy snacks like baby carrots, strawberries, cherries, things like that.
Reply:Sunflower seeds, alike most nuts, are quite high in fats, some cases, very very high in fats. I used to have the Spitz ones here and there when driving to work, there's a ton of fat in them.





Nuts do 'technically' have healthy required fats but in all honestly, if your trying to lose weight, my opinion, steer clear of them.... I did, and along with working out, a daily cardio routine and very healthy food intake, I've easily gotten to my goals, and beyond....





Best of luck with your future fitness goals....!!!

How many sunflower heads grown on one plant?
my bird feeder got blown loose from a wind storm, next thing I knew there wer sunflowers sprouting. I don't really like them but let several grow anyway.

Having a Spring/Sunflower themed wedding...Any ideas?

I am getting married next April ('08). I love sunflowers, and I must incorporate them into my theme.. I was thinking about Pale/Pastel Yellow and Chocolate Brown as my colors.


Possibly having the favors as small planting pots with our names written on them with sunflower seeds.


Any ideas? I am in the beginning stages so anything will help.


I also want to know if you think outside or inside for the reception?!

Having a Spring/Sunflower themed wedding...Any ideas?
You can bring sunflowers in almost everywhere. Your centerpiece could be vases filled with sunflowers and the vases could be wrapped in silky brown ribbon. Favor sounds good. You could use decorative paper w/ sunflowers as the background inside your invitations. Michael's has small sunflowers that you could even add inside the envelopes to give your invite some pizazz. Try personalized napkins with sunflowers. Dress up your guest books,tables, or chairs with fabric w/ sunflowers on it. Hope I've been some help. The main areas to focus on initially should be your invitations, centerpieces, cake, favors, and decor. Try going to google.com and searchin for wedding supplies. You may find some items with sunflowers on them already. Good Luck :)!
Reply:I forgot to mention that if you can't find the flower in season you can always go for silk arrangements. I found a website that might also help with favors. www.foreverandalways.com has sunflower flower seeds that you can purchase in bulk. Glad I could help and good luck planning. Sim1 Report It

Reply:Sunflowers are more a fall flower so you may have difficulty finding them. Check with your florist first. You can incorporate it in your bouquet as well as the maids bouquets. The men can wear lapel flowers of maybe black eye susans which look a lot like sun flowers, just smaller. Instead of throwing rice at the end they can throw sun flower seeds. The cake can also be decorated with black eye susans and yellow mums to follow along with your theme.

Sunflower seed shells?
I thought you might find this amusing lol. It doesn't hurt you to eat them hull and all my nephew does it all the time as did my grandpa. You have to chew them up good. Thats why they make different flavors of sunflower seeds. They are sort of like potato or apple the skin or hull is where most of the vitamins are at. good luck, best wishes.





http://www.junkfoodblog.com/2006/11/find...
Reply:I do the same thing ! Thats hilarious.... I read that the hulls have a ton of fiber in them. I don't know about you but, I've noticed that the David brand is crunchier than the frito lay (or Toms) ones.... and if you've ever eaten them too fast or aren't able to completely chew up the hulls, they can be HORRIFICALLY PAINFUL when you go to the bathroom, LMAO. Thats my only horror story from eating them whole.... I had one time that I was almost in tears begging God to make it all go away, I was mere minutes away from selling my soul to the devil ! LMMFAO
Reply:As long as you chew them it should be fine. Not sure if you want to wash them first - companies would assume you'd be taking the shells off. Any shell piece that isn't chewed all the way would pass through your system.

Every picture and idea you could imagine for a sunflower wedding!
Reply:Keep it simple ... too much of any theme will look stupid if you overdo it.





Have the bridesmaids carry sunflower bouquets - they'll look good with black dresses, or maybe even blue (a nice robin's egg blue would be great). Place a single sunflower in a vase for a nice centerpiece. Have a simple stacked white cake, with rows of black and yellow ribbon lining the edges. Incorporate a subtle snflower logo onto your invitations and place cards.





Don't put sunflowers on EVERYTHING, and don't make everything black and yellow. Again, keep it simple - the more subtle your theme is, the classier your wedding will be.





Here are some nice weddings that used sunflowers:

And here's a nice wedding that had a black and yellow color scheme (no sunflowers, but you could throw in a couple here and there for a dramatic look): http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/...
Reply:if you're planning your own wedding...shouldn't you be coming up with some of this stuff on your own so you get what you want?





I don't have any pictures but if you wanted to go with a sunflower theme...i would do yellow bridesmaids dresses or black, with either a yellow or black sash/ribbon to accent it with. (black w/ yellow or yellow w/ black)





i've had an irrational fear of sunflowers since i was a kid though...so i wouldn't know what you would want to do for a reception.
Reply:This site has beautiful sunflower bouquets under the wedding flower section.

Sunflower seed collecting...How To?

What is the correct way to collect seeds from an already bloomed sunflower?


I scraped many seeds off of a few flowers and layed them out to dry. I left many other flowers alone just in case I wasn't doing it right.

Sunflower seed collecting...How To?
You can begin to harvest sunflower seeds as soon as the center flowers turn brown or the backs of the heads turn yellow, to prevent birds from stealing them. Cut them, leaving a piece of stem to hang them in a well ventilated place to finish drying. Cover them with netting, paper sacks with holes or cheesecloth to catch falling seeds as they dry.








They can be allowed to dry on the stalk, but you'll have to cover them this way to keep the birds from eating them all before you can harvest them for yourself!








If you've grown sunflowers for the purpose of feeding birds, you can either leave them in the ground, or harvest the heads as above, then hang them in the yard or garden when they are ready. This method has an advantage in that you can dole out the heads over the winter, instead of seeing the seed all eaten within a few weeks.
Reply:When they hang their heads and droop, the seed heads are dry. There will be no green, underripe seeds. I cut off the head, shuck the seeds from the head, lay the seeds on a cookie sheet to allow them to dry throughly. The only problem that I have had is with squirrels and chipmunks, These critters seem to know when the sunflower is "just right" and may beat you to the seed. If you have varmint trouble, you may wants to cover the heads with light cheesecloth until the heads are totally dry.
Reply:I have found that the seeds have to mature on the plant. Wait until the flower is dry and the petals have fallen off and all that is left is the seeds in the center. You should just barely bump them and they should fall, for how dry it needs to be. If you pluck the immature seeds from a flower that is still living I don't believe they will be viable and germinate.

Sunflower Minstrels c1800?

Started looking into family tree, came across my great grandfather who was a Sunflower Minstrel, has to be around mid 1800's. Have tried all that I can think of, but having no success. Act was like, I suppose, musical hall, early black and white minstrels, etc. I get a lot of hits in America but know that he never travelled away from England. If anyone can point me in another direction I would be grateful.

How can I make sure sunflower seeds will be OK for next summer?

Last summer I grew wonderful sunflowers. Last fall, I kept many heads in order to use the seeds to grow them again this year. As I wasn't sure about the quality of the seeds I kept, I also bought new ones from the store. Unfortunately, only the new seeds from the store actually grow. Seeds I kept from last year's sunflowers do not grow at all. What is the technique to keep sunflower seeds and make sure I will be able to grow them OK next year?

How can I make sure sunflower seeds will be OK for next summer?
Dry the seeds and store in a jar in the refrigerator. Better would be to vacuum pack them in a food saver bag. Now you know that if the plant the seeds you are saving is a hybrid then the seeds will not be true to the plant. That is they will be either one of the parents plants but not the hybrid they came from.
Reply:Sunflower seed should be firm and solid when ripe. Before you randomly store seed, check that it has fully developed internally, and that seeds are not `hollow`. Store dry and cool.
Reply:I havn't tried this yet but I was told to freeze my seeds. All kinds of seeds. I'm trying this with the sunflowers this year. I planted every kind that I could find this year too. i love them.
Reply:when you cut the heads off of you sunflowers and take out the seeds make sure they arent hollow.. then let them dry out.. place in a zip lock bag.... i did this for my morning glory seeds and i forget them in a pot that i stacked with other pots.. and put in hall closet for the winter.. i found them and thru them outside thinking that they wouldnt do anything and they are growing beautifully... good luck with them!
Reply:make sure they are dry and store them in a cool dry place in a brown paper bag so they will not mold

Sunflower fields in Italy?

I've seen a lot of pictures of sunflower fields in Italy, and I was just wondering, if I wanted to see these....where would I go, and what time of year?

Sunflower fields in Italy?
Mid-summer in Tuscany. It is famous for these fields and they are something to behold!
Reply:Tuscany of course....


especially the hills near Siena, Firenze...


you must go there during summertime...


(personally speaking I think that the best landscapes are located outside Siena, but other people may disagree...)
Reply:you should come to Tuscany..in the so-called Chiantishire (the brits re-named it)...





summer time. not august (too hot)


hire a car and drive trough the valleys and the hills of Tuscany. you'll love it as I do. since the first moment I opened my eyes in this piece of Heaven on earth.





(I'm from Tuscany)
Reply:Panoramio.com
Reply:Tuscany (Siena, Florence, Pisa...) and Umbria (Perugia, Asisi..) (even if you can find some of these fields in other regions too) You have to come in summer, from June to August (July would be the best option)


Sunflower seed stuck in throat!?

I was eating sunflower seeds, and a piece of the shell got stuck on the left side of my throat! Right away I felt like throwing up, but nothing. And I ate 3 banana's and lots of water, thinking it would push it down. I need some help! Everyonce and awhile I get a sharp pain from it! I'm pretty sure it's not the entire shell or seed, just a little sliver. I'm really scared and I really want to get it out. Please Help ASAP!

Sunflower seed stuck in throat!?
Try eating several slices of soft bread. That will usually dislodge anything stuck in the throat.





If the pain is still there after you've tried that and it feels like the shell is still stuck, go to the doctor or your ER/walk-in clinic. You don't want a throat infection because of it.
Reply:i don't know how far back it is but, you could try gargling some water or any other liquid
Reply:You may very well not have the seed shell there naymore it could be that you have cut your throat and that is the paid that you keep feeling. Go to the doctors and let them have a good look to see if there is anyting actually still stuck there.





Good luck!!
Reply:Don't you think it may have got stuck in your throat like a wood sliver? You should go to the doc or a walk in clinic before any damage is done.
Reply:go to the doc sweety they will get it out in no time.dont wait its not good.
Reply:This can be very dangerous becasue it is so small you may want yo go to the ER so they can do an x-ray or have you drink some thing to dissolve it. DAMN now my throat hurt for you... ouch!! Good luck!!
Reply:......i would try eating some more sunflower seeds. maybe one of the seeds or shells will pry out the other shell!! :) or you could try forcing yourself to vomit.. this is done by sticking your longest finger (or any other long skinny object) down your throat. the highly acidic liquid should disolve the shell just like it would in your stomach... this is what i do when i feel like i've eaten too much to maintain my weight.. (ex: christmas/ thanksgiving dinner, or "the munchies")
Reply:I think you might have pierced your throat with the sharp end of the sunflower shell. I think you should go to your doctor ASAP. you might have a small pierce but it might get infected. Doctors will probably sedate you and try to remove the prickler. Good Luck!!!

Sunflower growing question?

I am growing a sunflower and it seems to be growing multiple heads on its lower leaves. I picked a few of them off. Should I pick the rest off. I think I remember my mom doing that with a tomato plant saying that it make the rest of the plant grow stronger.

Sunflower growing question?
Some sunflowers branch out with multiple blooms. Other varieties just have one big flower. I guess you are not hurting the flower by removing the side blooms, but because it is a multi-bloom type you are probably not helping it to make one enormous flower either. Why not just enjoy as many blooms as the plant is willing to make? The plant will live and flower longer, however, if you remove the blooms BEFORE they start to develop seeds. Once a flower has set seeds it believes that it has accomplished its purpose of continuing the species, and then it will begin to die.
Reply:You can check out http://www.1800topsoil.com to speak to a local pro. Report It

Reply:If you have a main flower head on the initial stem, you can remove the other buds and the main flower will be larger. Those smaller buds are suckers in a sense. If you like smaller flowers, then those would be fine to leave grow.

I Need My Sunflower Seed Fix!!!?

I am a SUNFLOWER SEED ADDICT!!! The best brand that I have found so far is "Dakota Style" brand and I have to order them and have them shipped from South Dakota! I tried them, though, and now I"M SPOILED" for any other brand? Any other great brands out there that "The Sunflower Queen" should know about? Thanx!

I Need My Sunflower Seed Fix!!!?
As long as they are pre-shelled, there all good to me. The best sunflower seeds I ever had were when I grew my own. Nothing beats homegrown home prepared anything. I suppose if you have the money maybe an organic brand might be one to try, or one from the health food section of your grocery store.

Sunflower seeds, just how bad are they for you?

I eat a lot of sunflower seeds. I munch on them throughout the day and don't snack on any other foods, other than fruit and my meals. Aside from being high in sodium, is there another reason I should steer away from them? (Oh, and they are Spitz brand)

Sunflower seeds, just how bad are they for you?
If you eat unsalted and unflavored ones you can eat them all day. They have natural oils in them that are good for you. As for spitz, they have preservatives, and too much sodium which is bad for you. Try eating plain ones which are actually healthy for you. Or switch to eating healthy snacks like baby carrots, strawberries, cherries, things like that.
Reply:Sunflower seeds, alike most nuts, are quite high in fats, some cases, very very high in fats. I used to have the Spitz ones here and there when driving to work, there's a ton of fat in them.





Nuts do 'technically' have healthy required fats but in all honestly, if your trying to lose weight, my opinion, steer clear of them.... I did, and along with working out, a daily cardio routine and very healthy food intake, I've easily gotten to my goals, and beyond....





Best of luck with your future fitness goals....!!!


I eat too much sunflower seeds,is that OK?

i consume a lot of sunflower seeds.needless to say as a snack,sometimes as lunch and dinner subsidy.


should I be worrying eating so much of them?

I eat too much sunflower seeds,is that OK?
yes. they have oil and they are "warm" foods
Reply:I also eat a bunch of them, especially while I'm driving.(keeps the road rage in check). I guess the only concern would be the salt. What's your brand??? It has to be Frito-Lay they are roasted perfectly.
