It has been an extraordinary summer. Not just with Covid and social distancing but with having all this time to garden. Starting with seeds in the basement on a grow table and harvesting everything at the end of the summer - it has been amazing. The flowers and beds look fantastic. One of the things we are very excited about was our sunflowers. We have NEVER been able to get them to grow up here. I don't know if it's the extra attention or more consistent watering - but we finally got sunflowers to grow. Tim started them with seeds in the basement and although we were not very confidant - then planted them in and around the vegetable garden. They did great. We only planted a couple varieties but had great success. They were beautiful and like anything new - didn't have any clue what to do about harvest the seeds for next year. We had to do some reading about drying and saving. Hopefully, next year we will have even more.
