Sunflowers

One mammoth sunflower stalk before it developed lots of heads.

A droopy stalk with lots of droopy heads needing to be cut off the main stalk.

I want to save my sunflowers from critters and birds getting to the seeds. 

All the tiny flowers have dried.

What it looks after some of flowers have been removed.

All of these heads will come inside to dry. Once the green part has turned brown the seeds are ready to be removed. Some seeds will be saved for next year, some we will eat, and the remainder will be feed to the birds this winter.

COVID-19 Garden

I planted some veggies for fun; just something to do while sitting at home. I would starve to death if I relied on my garden for food.

This bed has zucchini, basil, sage, spring onions, and tomato plants. Orange tree is in the background.

First time for growing potatoes. I cut up some red store bought potatoes that were forming eyes.

Yellow squash and cucumber plants that were started from seeds that my kids gave me for my birthday.
