For The Birds


I planted these wild sunflowers from seeds in early summer for the birds. I'll leave the heads on as long as possible for the birds to eat. Last night we saw a hummingbird checking out our Rose of Sharon plants in the front. I have never seen a hummingbird around our house before. Yay! Perhaps we'll put in a feeder for the winter.

My garden companion still likes to follow me around and check out the garden.

My other garden companion is giving her baby a nap in the garden.

The lettuce I planted from seeds so long ago is finally full grown. For a while I had decided I would only grow lettuce from starts, but these have been so good, I might change my mind. Worth the wait.
