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.

 

 

Our Cottage by the Sea

I don't know what happened!  One minute we were living in NYC, the next minute, here we are in our cottage by the sea!  It all happened so quickly.  Just a rented house, but still a house with 2 floors!  Lots of kitchen cabinets and a huge yard and attic.  We have only been here a few weeks, I want to hold on to the feeling of wow!  But I feel it slipping away.
I am planting lots and lots of flowers to sell, I get to live out all my other dreams now, of gardening and flower farming and baking and teaching dollmaking and making things from herbs and edble flowers and having backyard parties under hanging lights.
Possibly starting an online class teaching how to make a waldorf doll.
