The last few nights have been cool, reinforcing the wisdom of hardening off plants before putting them outside for good. There have actually been frost warnings in the Shenandoah Valley.
Nine of my ten sunflower seedlings have popped up. Not bad for a seed packet from last year. They still have yet to shed the shell from their leaves, but they'll probably be ready to plant by the weekend. Sunflowers have to grow fast to get that tall. Not to mention, the root system they need to put down to stablize them.
About Me
- millionbells
- I'm just shy violet. But I love gardening and butterflies, and I want to keep a record of what I do to my garden. So, I might as well share a little. Canoeing is fun too. I have what you might call a little peony fixation, too.
