Matilde's sunflower grew and grew this year! She planted her seed indoors, helped transplant it outside, helped papa harvest the seeds, and helped me roast them! She was also the first to taste them!
I soaked the seeds for about two days in a salt water brine. Boiled them for 10 minutes, then spread them out onto a cookie sheet, dusted them with salt and set them to bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes. They crunched and split just like store bought seeds. The Gutierrez boys enjoyed them too! Ole had been wanting to try home grown seeds and came just at the right time! All four kids loved them. :) I suppose we should plant another one next spring!
