Nice video Graeme. The joy of growing in the garden, at the same time sustaining our wild birds through the winter on a shoestring, with nothing wasted. If Nobel did a Green prize, it would look like this. ATB.
A clean shoe box on top of the fridge is usually warm enough to keep seeds after the drying stage, just put them into an envelope write the date and next spring they should be viable, if you want more colour try some zinnias mixed in with the sunflowers and clover is a really good companion plant to keep out the weeds, love the videos, have you done a pallet wood birdhouse or bird feeder yet?
Whats the yellow stuff that was ontop of the seeds. I thought those were for planting. I take dead head flowers and plant what looks exactly like the yellow stuff in the sunflower. Yes i dont know what im doing
Rats like sunflower seed too, next door put them out for the birds,and I am infested with rats,I love birds, I also like rats, but please when feeding birds please consider the people next door, and clean seeds that fall.I have lots and lots of wild birds in my garden, as we have a large pond that attracts wild life.but the rats are coming for the seeds that the birds drop.
Yeah scary part is... I Feed like over 200 Wild Birds every day... I'm probably gonna need to consider some serious Sunflower growing to feed this bird army 🤣🕊🦃
That's a lot of effort for a few sunflower seeds, yea if you grow sunflowers by all means harvest the seeds for the birds but if not you'd be better off just buying a bag.
The older I get, the more fascinating I find gardening.
How old are YOU? I’m 15 and I absolutely love gardening 🤗
@@NoName-fz1ix Great that you like it. I'm much much older than you.
I don’t like gardening but I do like to enjoy the garden once I’ve put in the hard work. Preferably after returning from fishing! 😂
You dont understand how helpful this video was now I can save money thank you so much

thanks for the tips
Thank you for your great tips on how to feed our little friends. I will try it this summer. Wonderful garden by the way.
Lovely helpful video, thanks for posting. We will now know what to do with our sunflowers once they go over. Thank you
nice, you have a super garden Greame.
This is a great idea! I'll try it out next spring.
Just like your fishing shoe BRILLIANT
Wow! That is a gorgeous garden in the background. Well done mate!
i love my birds, i'v seen nuthatches on the feeder, i'm trying to attract woodpeckers in.
You guys should do more videos like this there awesome.
You also get the added bonus of the sunflowers providing food for pollinating insects.
You should make a video on how to make good compost. Great video! i'll suggest this to my nan, she a has a big garden like yours and likes gardening.
Great video. Funny 6ft those sun flowers grew to 😄

Well fishing and bird too
If you leave the sunflowers in your garden shed, (on the bench) do the chipmunks get in and steal them?

I harvest some and leave some on the stalk. If you leave some on the stalk you will attract goldfinches
lovely garden graeme. no pond with fish ? hana
+Chris oDonnell Heron got over 40,so no fish now
Aww no. That's a shame. Love all the videos guys keep them coming.
@@TAOutdoors what is the name of the song played at last?pls tell its very nice!
What’s the song playing in the background?
Nevermind! Got it!
The birds decimate mine before I can harvest them.
They don't touch the "Mammoth Russian" variety, though.
nice
Why not leave the sunflowers up for the birds to eat? Why do all that work? The birds know how to eat sunflower seeds without us.
Is everything awesome to you? O.o
Yeah I remember you old man. You're from the awesome fishing show........hmm done with fishing are u!!
I try to keep the birds out of my garden. They hammer my strawberries and raspberries.
My squirrels cut the head off before I can harvest the seeds🤷🏾♀️
