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.
