I ordered 3lb from Sunorganic.com sunorganic <http://sunorganic.com/>

which was 7.50. The normal shipping and handling would have been 19.00

using UPS. They have a note on their site that they can use the post

office. I called called, and the shipping and handling dropped to 7.50;

big savings.

I have to chime in here re sunflower seeds. For me, the best seeds I have ever

bought have been from the groups namesake - Sprout people. The seeds are super

clean, with hardly any twigs and dirt among them, and very few broken/ damaged

seeds as well. Truly quality items. And while you may pay a little more, it is

well worth the quality of the item. I was reminded of this as I picking out

twigs and broken seeds from a newly bought canister of sunflower seeds from

Handy Pantry- when a sweet little flying insect made it's way out of the middle

of the seed pile to say hello!!!!! It's back to Sprout people for sure for my

next sunflower seed purchase!!!!!!

Re: price comparison: sunflower seeds

 

Once the shipping is charged, which do you think is the best to order

from? I was placing an order with Handy Pantry last week but cancelled it

because the shipping was so high.

So, just trying to find out the best deals on all sprouts.

OR, novel concept -- grow a couple of your own 'sun flowers' they have them from

a foot high or so, to the monsters we think of -- a single flower that cost you

perhaps $1 over it's life time could yield many times that amount in 'keep back'

seed.  Just a thought here.  -- paul -

Here is a video I made about harvesting sunflower seeds-you have to poke holes

in the flower head to loosen the seeds, then you get LOTS of twigs and chaff

that have to be separated from the seeds. This is a mix of black oil and

striped seeds that I grew this past summer. I usually grow about 9 types of

sunflowers, including red ones, but didn't grow the red this past year.

I tried it a couple of times. Felt that it was a pain in the lower regions. Now

I toss them out and let the birds harvest them

. As soon as the music started to play I just had this smile on my face.

That song is so relaxing.

I can't wait to start my sunflower sprouting adventure.

Nice job on extracting the seeds. Very impressive.

Thanks, Melody-I love that catchy little tune too. I use it in most of my

videos.
