Sunflower Seeds Gift in Nature

Hello there, TrudyVan here,

I believe that Sunflower Seeds are a Gift from Nature.

I plant sunflowers in my garden every year. I plant only a few at a time every
three days. The reason for planting seeds like this is that I have a continued
supply of fresh sunflowers and seeds throughout the summer. The wild birds eat
the seeds, my pet birds eat the seeds and I eat the seeds.

I do not spray chemicals onto my sunflowers and they are safe to eat. As my pre-lunch snack, I eat one handfull of sunflower seeds and a bananas and later on in the evening, I will have a couple of more sunflower seeds with a banana, just to keep my energy levels up.

The sunflower loves and need the sunlight as much as what we do. They even turn their large yellow flowery heads towards the sun. Sunflowers make beautiful garden flowers especially when planted in a group next to a wall that gets lots of sunlight.

I prefer to grow my own sunflowers, but it is impossible to grow enough for the
amount I require, so I go to my local health shop and purchase my shelled seeds
there.

Sunflowers are also one of the main crops grown in South Africa during the summer
months. Fields of bright yellow petals and green leaves. I do a lot of travelling and I love to travel in summer and pass the fields of sunflowers.
