Winter starters

Hopefully, at least. It's always a gamble starting seeds in January/February, but I like to do it. When I was at C-Mart in Chinatown last weekend, seeing these seed packages inspired me just a little. We'll see what happens.When I've done this in the past, I used those little fairy lights to supplement what light they got. It helps - but of course I need to choose my containers wisely too. I used containers last year that were much too small, and they dried out too quickly as a result. Poor little seedlings couldn't tolerate the conditions. This year, hoping to get the balance right...and maybe get a few edibles out of it too. I'm hoping to get an early start on those eggplants - but I'm also realistic about the fact that it's just too cold. On the other hand, the other two packets just might do alright. We'll see. Watch this space for updates, I guess.

I can't believe it's already time to start seeds. Here we go!

I'm mystified (where did the time go) but still - I'm ready for some little green buds to peek through the earth, and since it'll be a while before they produce anything anyway, I'll be good & ready for green things.

What are you starting?

How to make oil from sunflower seeds for edible oil manufacturer?
To craft oil from sunflower seeds, the process begins with selecting high-quality sunflower seeds. Thorough cleaning is essential to remove any impurities. Roasting the seeds follows, enhancing their flavor and optimizing oil extraction. Once roasted to perfection, the seeds are ready for the pressing stage. Employing an oil press machine, gentle pressure is applied to extract the oil from the seeds efficiently. Filtering the extracted oil helps remove any remaining particles, ensuring a clear and pure final product. The outcome is a golden-hued sunflower oil, prized for its light, nutty taste. This homemade sunflower oil adds a delightful freshness to culinary creations and provides the satisfaction of crafting your oil from the raw, wholesome goodness of sunflower seeds.
