Sunflower

Last year, I used one of those instant gardens. Roll out the carpet, water, and ta-dah flowers. Only nothing came up, until this year.

I had cut up a couple of squares and put them in pots by the front stairs. In the Spring, I had pulled out the carpet remnants and planted petunias.

As the season rolled by, these weed thingies came up in the pots. Wasn't sure if they were weeds so I left them. Glad I did. They turned out to be 4 mini-sunflowers towering over the petunias. Cool!

How does your garden grow?

    1. I thought of you when I realized they were sunflowers. We haven't had very many hot days.

  2. I love Sunflowers! That looks gorgeous. Afraid my garden is a bit neglected this summer.

    1. I'm not much of a gardener. I'm thrilled to have something that is not a weed growing in the yard
