Sunflower artwork

This turned out to be lovely. I purchased the metal sunflower from Hobby Lobby. I painted the wood dark green. I stapled twine to the back so I can hang the art work. I used gorilla glue to attach the sunflower to the wood. 

Gardening in pots

This cute red and teal shelving unit I moved out front. I had it on my back porch for a couple years. My back porch doesn't get any sun so I moved it where it could be more of use.

I recently started planting Succulents in pots since my front porch gets full sun almost all day. Not sure if I'll keep these all out front in the upcoming months, especially the smaller pots. I enjoy looking at the pots through my window.

Look how pretty the climbing rose bush is. Only in the spring does it flower.


My red bicycle planter has has sunflowers growing. These are the smaller varieties.


My adorable bird pot.





Aloe Vera with Baby Sun Rose.


Portulacaria afra, "Elephant Bush" with more Baby Sun Rose.






This is a pretty arrangement with a decoration from Hobby Lobby.




Lavender (smells so good).


Jalapeno Pepper plants that I forgot to water yesterday. So they were drying up on bottom.


These two pits have a mixture of things including oleander, sunflowers, vinca flower, and elephant bush.

Grow bags with lavender and some with sunflowers.

A creative way to grow more elephant bush.


We do have two large garden beds with a drip system and other areas in the back yard and front yard on a drip system. Plus many pots using a drip system. All together my husband I have spent countless hours pitting it all together. I just seem to want to keep growing things so I have many pots that I have to water by hand. I love it all but it is very time consuming and my lower back at times screams out in rebellion.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers are amazing and all the stages of blooming. They are magnificent flowers.

Sunflower

This sunflower is the tallest one so far. Quite a beauty!

Sunflowers, Grapes, Potatoes, Tomatoes and Bell Peppers

Beautiful May Sunflowers

These are some of my many grapes growing. 

I built a wall for the grape vines. 

They like to climb and grab on to anything.

The first is some small potatoes. The second as you can see are cherry tomatoes and one Roma tomato. Small but it tasted great.

Bell Peppers grow so fast. 

It's all about the sunflowers.....

Look at all these beauties!

This one is getting heavier and soon ready for me to cut off the head to let dry.

Some of the flowers got knocked off when my head bonked it. 

The mammoth sunflowers live up to their name!

I sure love sunflowers! I have them all over. Many haven't bloomed yet.

Sunflowers

These are a few that are soon to open all the way. I love the process and stages. The top sunflower is as tall as I am and has about twelve buds.
