OK. You guys got me to try them. I put slices in a toaster oven and
pretended they are toast. Not bad.

I use sunflower seeds. Who does't like sunflowers?

Actually, you could use "Mammoth" sunflower seeds. These are the kind of
sunflower seeds that people eat. Then everbody would be happy.

Go to the store and by the black oil sunflower seeds from the bird
food section. Not the sunflower seed we buy for human consumption.

Hi Don,

I thought that "black oil" was some kind of trade name. Thanks
for straightening me out.

When I asked the local CSA farm about it, she had one last bag
a squirrel had gotten into that she sold me for 50% off. Maybe
10% of the bag had leaked out.

And, I have noticed that this years type of zucchini (Costa Romaneco)
that the fruit doesn't lay on the ground. Just the end hits the
ground. Easy for the birds to get underneath.

Question: how often do you throw out seeds and how much? Just
a hand full?

Many thanks,
-T
