I guess you're growing them for the flowers? We grow pots of them for eating. Just harvest them about 3cm tall with two leaves on and they're delicious and crunchy in salads :-)
Hooe you're both well :-)

Yeah.. or for the seeds too maybe we can learn how to cook them or something lol. You can eat the plant itself?? I didn't know that haha
I didnt know either but I asked the wife 'what are these?' One day and it turns out we eat the sprouted sunflower seeds a lot in Thailand, as well as the salted seeds in packets!
I just wash the seeds, throw them in a seed tray, water then cover them for three days until they germinate and then put them back in the light but in a place that doesn't get too much direct sunlight. After 7 days, when they have grown and have just two leaves open cut them off at the base of the stem and eat them raw!
Even I quite like them and I'm a chocolate loving, salad dodger ;-)
I didn't know this can be done lol. I used to eat sunflower seeds too, but my favorite is a squash seed. They're just a bit too annoying to eat cos too skinny. :D Thanks for sharing!
