Sunflower Power

The glory of summer is symbolized by sunflowers.  I delight in their magnificent cheer and bright happy faces that track to the sun.  This year I planted a variety along the Kitchen Garden, however most were lost in infancy to some kind of animal.  The survivors are in show-off mode and I am relishing them while I can.  The bees and birds and butterflies gleefully flock to them, and next year I look forward to planting up thick patches of sunflowers.

 

Kitchen Garden

My Hobby Farm would not be complete without a dedicated space for growing vegetables and fruits, and since we mapped out the Kitchen Garden in 2015 I have dreamed of the day when my vision would be brought to life.  At long last, that happy day has arrived.  It took a lot of effort, mostly on the part of my hardworking hubby, and the expense was not insignificant.  It feels great to finally check-the-box on this project, and I am excited for the months and years to come.
