Look who’s coming up.  My friend Piercen (14 years old) planted sunflower seeds in the garden a couple weeks ago, and they are just starting to sprout.    

 

Last summer when he came over to walk in the garden, he told me that he learned in school about phototropism.  Sunflowers are the ultimate phototropic plants.  They turn their heads to follow the sun.  So fun to see.

 

So when it was time to plant sunflower seeds and he was here, I got him to come over and poke the seeds into the ground.  

 

We can watch them grow together.  I love sharing the garden with youngsters.  They love it too.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
