At least that is what I have been told. By pretty much everyone I talk with. Anyone can do it.Hell, most times you don’t have to do anything, they just pop up.

Not for me.

What am I talking about? Sunflowers. Those gorgeous golden flowers that just ooze happiness. I love sunflowers. I just have been challenged with growing them. When I lived in Pennsylvania I planted the seeds watered them…..and the sprouts were eaten by something. Most likely bunnies.

The Arizona sun took the lone survivor last year. But hope always springs eternal when it comes to my ability to grow sunflowers. And this year is no different. My seeds are coming tomorrow. The night temperatures are in the mid-40’s and climbing. Daytime temps are edging towards 80. It is time.

Of course I will keep you informed. And as I type those words, I wonder why I never chronicled the Great Sunflower Massacre…….It is tale of hope, concern, frustration, and just plain silliness.

Guess that means I should get it written….
