Sunflower Mania



My garden was recently spotlighted in the small local newspaper here.  Much was said about all the sunflowers.  They are definitely the predominate feature out there right now.  It's not intentional.  They all grow on their own and I don't have the heart to pull them all out.  I do pull a lot of them, otherwise the yard would be a great big field of sunflowers.  I do love them, even if they make my yard look ridiculous.  When have I ever cared what other people think?  It's just a good thing that I don't live in a neighborhood nazi...uh... association area.  A few weeks ago we drove through a town that was having a sunflower contest.  I would have won, hands down.
