After the danger of frost was past (which on average here in Maine isn’t until the middle of May!) I planted some sunflower seedlings that I’d started off indoors. A few of them went into the beds around our patio and one leftover one ended up in the fairly unpromising area of gritty soil next to the grill.
Inevitably, the ones in the garden beds didn’t even make it through the night thanks, presumably, to our local wildlife. The one in the grit, however, survived and has continued to grow to quite a height. All I can think is that our animal visitors couldn’t believe that anything could possibly grow in such a scrubby bit of ground and so they didn’t even bother to look. Well, today it flowered - not a big flower, but a flower nevertheless!
