Sunflowers







I am so happy with the sunflowers this year. This time I planted them close together, and in the garden. I didn't want to have to water in a bunch of different places, and they seem to do better when they can lean on each other. It is a nice mix of multi-colored, mammoth, and Primrose. I picked the Primrose for the name, because it is what my Grandpa calls his farm. At first I was not happy with the pale yellow color, but they have become a nice contrast to the darker yellow and orange sunflowers coming in now.

These are great. Are they along the fence? Jay always tried to get sunflowers to grow and they never did well at all.

They are near the end of the garden, but the squash bed is in between them and the fence. This is the most success I've had with them, and I think it's cause they were planted so close together.
