How Does Your Garden Grow, Part 2

Here is the update on our garden:

Adel using the new grill for the first time.  It's not fancy, but it sure beats the little camping grill we've been using for a few years.  

The purple trees showing off their blooms. 

 Abby showing off our first flower bloom a few weeks ago.

And now, the garden is full of yellow and orange blooms, and GIANT sunflowers.

I'm pretty pleased with the burst of color for my first try, but I have a few things I would do differently next time...

Since the sunflower leaves are so dominant, I would plant the sunflowers in a separate section.  That would allow the other flowers a better chance for the sun.

I also wish I would have saved the packets so I would have some clue what kind of flowers these are! 

Sunflower bud...they haven't bloomed yet.

Pretty little scene.  Makes me happy. 

 We have 2 different flowers blooming (and sunflowers on the way).  

This one in orange and yellow.

And this one just in yellow, with a maroon center.

I planted about 10 different varieties so I'm still hoping for other kinds to bloom.  But the sunflowers and other 2 flowers are so much taller, I'm not sure the others will ever bloom (although there's quite a variety of plants/leaves growing down low...no sign of buds on them yet).

And my lemons keep growing.

And even some new blooms there too. 

It has been a very rewarding project and the kids and I still go out and check on our flowers every morning.
