Here at headquarters in Mesa, Arizona U.S.A. we have scorching temps this week. One plant that withstands the heat and provides food for are these sunflowers. They reseed every year and brings in one of our favorite birds, the finch.
We share these seeds at the events (check comments for videos)

We also provide water stations for them by hanging saucers in and under the trees.

Let's make magnesium oil.

This batch has lavender & oregano herbal infusion.
This time of year, our lavender and oregano have gone to seed, so we use these or we'll whats availableat the time.

You can use rose petals or any other aromatic flowers that you have growing on your property. Or you can use filtered H2o alone.
Use dried flowers, stems, or leaves for the infusion, not fresh.
The magnesium chloride flakes that we have are from the dead sea.
(DO NOT USE Epson salt)

Mixture is half N half H2o & magnesium.
Pour boiling H2o into your herbal dried leaves and let that steep for 10-15 minutes, or you can use only H2o. The mixture is forgiving, if you don't have it exact.
Add to a glass jar;
water or herbal infusion to the magnesium & mix until dissolved. It's that easy..
You're ready to use on any sore muscles.
(External use only)

Nothing like a good watermelon on a hot summer day. If you grow your own or get one from a store, it is always fun to try and grow them. Even though seedless doesn't really mean seedless, there are way less than, at least %80 less.
You can see where the seeds reside, so try and cut around that. Some have not grown to maturity (the lighter ones). You want the darker ones for planting.
Sometimes, we save the seeds for planting later, and other times, we toss them in the area we want them to grow right after cutting them.
Nothing goes to waste. The rind goes to our flock, and they gobble it up fast.

If you do not have a flock, there are many ways to discard or use the rind.
Fermenting is great, make into a candied treat or compost.
