The girls generously donated two old CDs for bird scarers today, as we had another sunflower in a different place eaten. We are trying to save the sunflower seeds as you cannot buy them in Australia, well probably not all of them and they are so pretty.

"You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away."

Today I was reading the magazine MV recommended to me. It had sprouts in jars, I have those jars, so that is a good start, they are kilner jars. One sprout was sunflower sprouts, I get very excited by sunflower seeds these days as we have some out in the garden. They are supposedly nearly a complete food when sprouted. Here are some sunflower sprout recipes as well: www.herbsarespecial.com.au/free-sprout-information/sunflower.htmlI am not going to eat my special colored sunflower seeds. They are interesting, very small. |

Br, I clicked on the first link and oh what a lovely site, and the song playing, well I just let it play.
Heather, I sang that song to my dd's as well. :-) Love it.
Aren't sunflowers the most amazing things. Dh plants them each year. I always wait with such anticipation for them to flower. I love the new perennial ones that are small also.

Maybe you mean sunroots? "Tangy Cheese and Sunflower Seed Cake You need: 100 grams butter 250 grams Philadelphia cream cheese 2 eggs 1 lemon, juice and zest 1 cup S.R. Flour 1/2 cup sunflower seeds or chopped nuts 1 cup sugar Filling 250 grams Philadelphia cream cheese 1 pack strawberries 1 cup icing sugar squeeze of lemon juice Method: Cream sugar, butter and cream cheese. Beat in one egg, 1/2 the flour and other egg and remaining flour. Add lemon juice and zest and sunflower seeds. This should make a soft batter. Pour the batter into a greased ring tin, bake in a 150 degrees celcius oven for 1 hour. Cool briefly in the tin, turn out and cool thoroughly. Whip second cream cheese with icing sugar and lemon juice. Put the ring cake onto a serving plate; pile the cream cheese filling into the centre and top with hulled strawberries."
