Sunflower Seeds Forever
Recipes from the episode: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Director’s Journal
I have a soft spot for flowers.
Years ago I took some painting classes from a great watercolorist, Susan St. Thomas. The subject I always picked to paint was flowers. Gladiolas, stargazer lilies, Johnny jump-ups. They are all my favorites, for various reasons.
Near to where I live there are many farms and nurseries. Out driving one day, looking for fresh berries to pick, I stumbled upon a field of sunflowers in full bloom. There were acres of them, which translated into thousands of perky yellow and black heads craning upwards. Which also translated into millions of seeds for birds, and, perhaps, for people.
Aha! There might be a story here after all.
I pulled over into the fruit stand, and asked for the owner. His name was Don and he was great. I just had to ask him one question—Tell me about your field—and he took off.
Sometimes you never know where the next story will pop up.
