So we were unintentionally growing sunflowers in our yard. It's mostly because Szechaun really likes to watch birds. See, we thought if we sprinkled some sunflower seeds on the back patio, it would make for a more interesting show.
It didn't work. Stupid birds.
Anyway, in the progression of this experiment, some of the seeds inadvertantly got into the yard (see also: swept there out of laziness) and, soon, began to sprout like crazy. We scooped some sprouts up back in March and stuck them in a pot and waited.
A couple of months later, we got this:
Hooray! Hopefully they don't get burnt to a crisp by the Arizona sun. Mike's dad tried planting some while he was here and they, well, they're no longer with us. But if these go south, it's really okay:
They just keep on sprouting in the yard randomly. We keep the seeds in the birdbath now. Szechaun's got good eyes. She can handle it.
Oh! And as for the "Fixed Accident": You can now comment. Apparently, when we were setting this thing up, we accidentally put on a privacy setting.
Sorry about that.

ReplyDeleteWell, I'm attempting to post a comment again. Went to post it under Name/URL but being so computer illiterate -don't know what I'm suppose to put in the URL space. So here I am under anonymous again! (By the way this is mom, as if you couldn't figure that out)
ReplyDeleteBeen ejoying the postings. Sorry the sunflower seeds aren't doing so well. Wish I could send you some of our rain. We had a huge storm last night that knocked down branches and even a nest of baby birds. Dad put the birds and nest back in the tree this morning-hope they make it!
Looking forward to the next posting!
Good post, Cheap Pants.
