Sunflower Farmers by Joe M.

What is a sunflower farmer?

I plant my sunflowers in the early spring when the fields are well prepared. I harvest them in the fall when the black part on their heads turns brown.
Sunflowers can be eaten as snacks, made into sunbutter (like peanut butter) or used to make oil for cooking.
“Every friend is to the other a sun and sunflower also. He attracts and follows.”
                            Jean Paul Richter on “Friends and Friendship.”

Farmer Joe brought us sunflower seeds to sample.  He also made a beautiful flower (sunflower vase)  with an empty pop bottle and sunflower photos.
