Welcome all like minded souls...creative women who are inspired by wild flowers and bird's nests,forsythia and the first signs of spring, the smell of the earth rediscovered under the last bits of winter snow, lilacs, antique flea markets and everything vintage, beautiful fabrics and coffee on rainy warm Saturday mornings..

Sunflower Success
Yay, Success with sunflowers! Some things I learned: They germinate really quickly. Start seeds inside the middle of may. The ground has to be a certain temp for them to thrive. When you plant the outside, cover with soda bottles to protect from bugs, bunnies and to create a greenhouse. They need to be fenced in or you will be feeding the bunnies their morning breakfast everyday! I put down ladybugs to keep the bugs away. They don't need much water once they start growing. Don't plant mamouth unless u r using these for privacy, you only get one flower.
