Yeah, that seems right. I sprout them in the barn so its generally a little cooler than the outside temps this time of year.
I wonder what the nutritional profile is with just the root forming?
I guess it cant hurt getting the seed and a little root forming.
Mornin' Nostr...
I have been sprouting seeds off and on for a few years. Thinking I might need one more bucket in this stack. Any thoughts on the size of the sprout? Should I be giving them one more day? I kind of think I should be.
These sunflower seeds go to the turkeys currently being moved through the victory garden. There are weeds and some volunteers that they can get but until they get through the whole thing and get onto straight pasture I like giving them something extra.
Thoughts?

M5M: Citizen! *fake concern and outrage intensfies* Putin assassinates another Russian citizen who was definitely not working with the CIA!
Me:
What started as part of an apology and to recognize all that my hardworking wife does for me and our children has turned into a little tradition. The night before a workday I make her a batch of overnight oats and prep the coffee so its ready when she leaves at 5:40am, usually before the rest of us are up. She only usually works 2 days a week so its not a big deal for me to do it.
Fun JK Acres farm fact, the wife, or the boss as I like to call her, is a vegetarian. A lacto-ovo vegetarian to be exact. She eats dairy and eggs, just no meat. She just calls herself a vegetarian. Shes not too concerned about labels. She doesnt care what anyone else eats. She doesnt preach the gospel of plant based. She doesnt think everyone should give up meat. She encourages our boys to eat their meat on the dinner plate first...thats how you get your muscles she tells them. She even assists me in butchering chickens and turkeys every year. An amazing woman really. We are lucky to have her in our life.

Trying to get better at this grazing thing.
Saw a recent Greg Judy video where he explained that he was moving his herd faster in late summer to allow the grasses to grow back quicker for a winter stockpile.
My flock is grazing through the second worst section of pasture here on the farm. Gave them about 3 days worth ( or at least three days worth in Spring ) and moved them in two days. Hoping that helps. Its not a huge difference but that extra day would have really taken the area on the right down too low for my taste. Rain is hard to come by this year.
Keeping parasites in mind, I dont know if I have enough land to move them daily late summer just yet. New section of pasture we acquired is low, low, low quality...so hoping this helps.
Butcher day is next week for some of these lambs...lots to consider when trying to keep ruminants on grass only. If you know you know!

I have family that are pretty far down that path...its madness.
Right on.
Know your farmer or grow your own is the answer. Labels can no longer be trusted.
The population is controlled by harvesting?
I never considered this method of keeping rabbits. Sounds interesting. You are doing gold work up there!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax
Reading about window tax that you still can see the repercussions of today. Even to the point builders install fake blocked upwindows in modern houses.
But this really caught my eye:
"At that time, many people in Britain opposed income tax, on principle, because the disclosure of personal income represented an unacceptable governmental intrusion into private matters, and a potential threat to personal liberty."
WTF happened!
Whats the midern equivalent to the window tax?
You mean I have been giving out my exact location this whole time? As a non-tech person this was a huge surprise to me eventhough I knew about metadata. Didnt realize it was accessible like that after I posted a pic.
I guess its too late for me now.
Thats awesome. I have been thinking about adding rabbits here.
Do rabbits have any negative effect on the land if left in one place too long?
I would imagine the size of the colony would matter. How about parasites and such?
That sucks man. Its gotta piss you off warching people eat themselves into type II land.
Grew up an hour south of the mason dixon and had these every year from my mothers little suburban garden...miss those days. I wasnt very involved in the gardening but occassionally she would have me water the garden in the evening. Never forgot that smell.
Fried green tomatoes are appetizers on menus around here occassionally. Usually with a fancy aioli type sauce for dipping. As a kid I think we just ate them with salt and pepper.
Great seasonal treat.
How did it turn out?
Nice work...love that late October time of year.
Is this ai, digital, or done by hand?
