Here are the latest pictures of our sunflower garden! These things are getting pretty big! I am wondering…if anyone knows, when do the flowers bloom? The plants are so tall and I keep hoping the flowers will start popping out, none of them have yet. Here is the entire rectangular sunflower garden/fort: Here is Emily standing next to the tallest sunflower plant thus far: And here is a recent picture of our veggie garden. We actually have a tiny tomato growing! Yay! ... Read More about Garden grow!
Another year has come to an end…
