My Garden

I planted a couple of things I thought would be fun to watch grow this year. One was giant sunflowers. Sure enough, the stalks got huge with most of them around 6 feet tall, a few around 4 feet and this one giant one that is easily 10 feet tall. The weird thing is I was wondering if they would ever flower, but they finally did right at the very end of August. I have enjoyed them so much!

I also planted two pumpkin plants. They grew LIKE CRAZY, spreading along one whole side of the deck, turning the corner and stretching along most of another side, and climbing up and spreading along my deck! We've picked about 75 of the cutest small, usually white, pumpkins!
