If you are doing it on the stem, you can let nature take its course. Just watch for the heads to turn yellow and the petals to fall of. If this happens, act fast so that you do not lose all of your seeds to the ground. Place a brown bag over the head to protect it from birds, squirrels, etc. Replace it after it rains. Cut off one foot below the bag to harvest the seeds. If you wish to do early harvesting, cut about one foot below the head. You can then dry them where you want as long as it is warm and dry and well ventilated to prevent molding. A small shed or even your house is perfect. Cover with brown bags, keep them warm dry and sheltered and you have basically harvested the seeds. Simply run your hand over the sunflower head and the seeds will pop right out. There are two different ways for you.
