Wind takes one of the mammoth sunflowers, but that does not stop the bees. There is so much to do, and so little blog time. So, my posts this season have been put off, photos saved for the rainy day when gardeners have a holiday. Let's just start with a TO-DO. Here's what I'll post about; at least I can feel I've made an attempt. Future topics: The single sunflower of summer 2010, the inspiration for our crop of 2011. A recap of the year, 2010. Winter in the garden, or a white out and little hope. First bits of green showing in the spring, 2011. Cutting weed trees, mending the fence, and expanding the garden to include the sunflower bed on the other side of the steps. Tulips showing their faces. First little flowers. Losses and gains. Friends of the garden, expanding. Progress with the water source and a look back at our limitations of 2010. Thriving garden, expanding with unusual and beautiful plants. Sun flowers and more sunflowe
