Sunflowers and seeds

Hi

I have just joined today, as I now have moved to a house that has a garden, and I am a very very amature gardener so to speak.

I wondered if anyone can help me at all. The kids have brought some sunflowers from school, and for a change they grew.

The first one has fully died now and the petals have come off so we collected the sunflower seeds from it................. the only thing is I now have no clue how to store the seeds till next year, and then how to grow them again (they were already prigressing well froms chool and were a good 8" when theyw ere brought home)

I have been told to store them in the fridge, or in the freezer but I really need to know how to store them properly

Can anyone splease help me??

Many thanks

Janey

 

Seed storage, I pop mine in an envelope write on it what they are and keep them in a dry place,Oh best date them as well.

 

Sounds about right to me.

I just want to know how to get them off the plant in the first place!
