The sunflowers I planted in my cutting garden bed are tightly closed but will open soon!
I really love zinnias. They’re so easy to grow from seed here and come in such beautiful colors. Get a package of seeds and try them if you’ve never grown them. You won’t be sorry!
Around here, we’ve watched been watching the progress of these birds. I saw them building the nest so we’ve been able to see them go from eggs to this -soon out of the nest. The nest is in a Knockout Rose bush right by the downstairs patio so we pass it often (much to the consternation of the parents who start squawking angrily when we linger too long).
These are wonderful fruit trees for growing in containers. Perfect for people with small yards, or who might be renting, great if you have a sunny balcony or patio.
The hollyhocks have come back again. Such a lovely old fashioned cottage flower. Sadly I always seem to just get two or three even though every fall I scatter hundreds of seeds. Oh well, I do enjoy the ones I get!
Anyway, my posting will continue to be sporadic until I feel better. But I did want to drop in and give you all an update.
