Flowers in my garden
I planted some sunflower and African daisy seeds out back along the chain link fence between the dog run and the rest of the house and I'm glad I did. The sunflowers are growing daily and are over 4' tall!!! The African daisies have done well in the full sun and are cheerfully blooming. So, I went out yesterday morning with my Nikon and took these photos of the flowers. I spent most of the morning clearing out an area in the front, along the fence, for more sunflowers and some cosmos seeds. I also raked another area and threw out Tithonia, black eyed Susans, and more cosmos seeds. I hope these two areas will be as colorful and as full as the one out back! And, yes, there are a few weeds in among them! I see two large areas that will need to be weeded before I can plant more seeds around these plants. I still have a huge bag of cosmos seeds, which I bought at Home Depot and I need to get them in the ground before summer, although yesterday it was 105 degrees here (probably a new record...)
