Ahhhhh Our Sunflowers are blooming! And I even have REAL bees on them... not those pesky wasps, though I have to admit, I don't mind the wasps because they are eating the aphids and therefore leave my children alone (whom have been warned to leave the sunflowers ALONE).
This picture was taken from on top of our deck, the sunflower itself is taller than I am! :) I've never done any kind of garden before so I'm happy to have something turn out well, and the fact that Goober brought the seeds home from school last spring is an added bonus.
Now I just need to research what I'm supposed to DO with the darned things!

Beautiful! I love those flowers.
See if there's a recipe online for preparing sunflower seeds. Yer Uncle Jer made salted ones . . . yummy!
Congrats on the great gardening! Kudos to Goober, too, for kicking it off!
How fun! My mom always says that flowers make life worth living. I agree. They can perk me up when nothing else can. My down-the-street neighbor, whom Nat and I call "Grandma Mom," has huge sunflowers that are so heavy that they're starting to hang their heads quite a bit. :) Remind me to tell you about the "Grandma Mom" thing the next time we talk.
