I know you dont have lots of subs and views and many people stop doing their videos because of this. Please don't! Your videos are so simple and efficient without all the fluff stories and annoying sponsorships. You are helping a lot of people even if they arent commenting or subbing.

I received a packet of sunflower seeds as a "wedding favor" last year and planted 3 seeds per hole. I had no idea that what was growing and I just harvested were "Mammoth Sunflowers". Your video was easy to follow and understand and I learned a great deal. I am letting my seeds dry out for a couple days then will pull the from the head and follow your brine and roast method. Thank you again!!!

I have a mammoth with 8 heads. First there was one, as it matured 2 more popped up beside it. As I trimmed the original head I could clearly see 5 more buds at least. Now I have 4 flowers on it growing all at once with about 3 or 4 more buds sprouting. Standing about 8 foot taller than my dog kennel that I'm use as a fence. That's about a 14 or 15 foot tall plant.

Watching you from England…I wasn’t aware that you could eat the shell as well. In my mind, only birds do that. I usually left all my Titan sunflower heads for the wildlife. The brine was helpful and makes sense, so I’ll try your method this year ! Great video….I subbed, too.

I spent "months" on my garden and most of my yard is full of chicken wire now to keep squirrels, rabbits and maybe even birds away. In these videos I see beautiful gardens with everything growing without any issues.. then in my yard every vegetable has huge marks from banging on wire (once you put chicken wire around anything like a pumpkin it stunts its growth like it knows the wire is in the way). All I have remaining are a couple mammoth sunflowers of which I'd like to feel some type of accomplishment with being able to have seeds for me (I made a pile of stuff for the creatures but they love taking 1 bite or so then go to the next plant).

I had a lot of fun watching this video, laughed quite a bit so thank you for that! Ive been growing mammoths for years and have yet to get them as large as yours but also have yet to be able to eat the seeds as the squirrels have always feasted on them before harvesting. This is my first year getting to harvest and of course they are the puniest flowers I've ever grown. Oh well, still happy to try them. I make BATCHES of pumpkin seeds every year and always toss them in salt and oil before roasting so I was surprised to see you didn't oil yours at all. Is there a specific reason for this or just an unnecessary step?

Sunflower seeds is a thing in my culture so we have the 'skill' of splitting the shell easily by fixing the seed between two fingers then splitting it by our teeth ,it's easy,fast and funny ,actually we eat sunflower seeds in our spare time or when watching tv just like popcorn and believe me it releases your stress ,but once you begin peeling these seeds you can't stop till the bowl is empty 😂

I would really appreciate help regarding mammoth sunflowers and the internet has basically not gotten me anywhere. My biggest concern is since I want the seeds to eat for "myself" (not the squirrels or birds) and the internet said wait until the petals fall off before cutting what do I do when alot of the flower head has already been eaten (I just found what looked like little black poop on the back of the flower head that're thinner than mouse poop). It was hard when I tried putting cheesecloth over the flower heads when leaves were in the way and the entire heads immediately drooped badly.

I was reading that you're supposed to wait for the seeds to change color. Is there a reason you didn't? I might get out there and harvest mine sooner. I saw you do this and it really doesn't seem too bad. We usually let the birds (and squirrels) get them because I thought it'd be too much effort.
