The BOSS (black oil sunflower seed) sunflowers that I planted with clover in the front of the property are doing great! These will be cut and dried for chicken snacks this winter. I wish I could have a whole field of them....I'm working on it!
**** Stay tuned for hot weather poultry tips - yesterday we didn't get inside until after 9pm. Until I can get my act together, here's another short version for you.
Keep those water buckets full and those fans going - we are expected to have a heat index of between 105* - 110*!!!
Stay cool!
Pretty flowers..we came close to purchasing a small oil press and growing the black seed sunflowers for oil...maybe next year. I have some cool rainy weather that I have been trying to blow your way but I see it has not mad it yet.
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers - they by far are my favorite! Thanks for sharing your picture...I also enjoy seeds on salads so try on a chicken salad :)
ReplyDeleteWow Mr. H. - hadnt thought about a press..hum.. I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine! Yep - love the sunflowers - cant wait to have even more next year.
Nice sunflowers! We planted some seeds from a bag of bird seed, and some even grew, but nothing is flowering yet. Like you, ours will be chicken treats...seemed like a good idea, anyhow...
