Free: Sunflower head for seeds (GMV SE10) I have a sunflower head that I have already taken some seeds from (way more than I really need to sow next year). Would anyone like the remaining head for the sensory experience of de-seeding, and for growing some next year? Great for teaching children about plants and seeds etc. If there are a few people interested, I may dissect into portions as there really are a lot of seeds, or perhaps you may be interested in the idea of taking what you need and passing the flower head on?

Please collect today, tomorrow (Sunday) or at latest Monday. Please let me know how many you would like. I understand them to be a Thai variety.
