Wild Flowers_Summer 2025

Even though I didn't have much time to devote to gardening over the summer, apart from cutting out the weeds and watering somewhat regularly, I was still happy to see how well my native flowers did. I need to make a point of planting more echinacea seeds next year. I would also like to grow wild sunflowers as well.

I made my annual trip to a nearby sunflower field shortly after the labor day holiday. The blossoms opened a little later this year because the month of August was so dry.  We were having a lot of rain up until the end of July.
