Its been a lovely day outside and what have i been doing... stuck in the shower room cleaning. I took around 3 hours cleaning as i have to keep resting. When hubby got home he finished off for me. I had a nice shower after, feel more human now.
I didn't manage to get out in the garden yesterday as it was raining so i took a look today to see what's happening. I took photos of my Sunflowers on 19th August, i love taking photos to see the changes.
There is 5 days between the photos, they have changed alot, I've always said they look like something from another planet but so beautiful when fully open. I love to keep a record on them watching how quick they grow, how tall they grow and how they bloom.
Once they have fully bloomed they will be left on the stalk until there petals have fallen off just leaving the center, i will then wrap the flower in brown paper until they dry out then take as many seeds as i can to plant for next years garden. I should be able to get quite a few seeds of 5 flowers, hopefully more flowers will grow. These plants are from last years seeds and next years will be from this years.
I noticed a small bunch of flowers growing, this is the 1st year ive grown these but not sure what there called as i had a few unknown seeds. I love the colours and how cute they are. I'll try and find out more about them and grow them for next year.
Theres nothing else happened out there and we are expecting a lot of rain this week so I'll try and get out there when i can.
I was kept busy this afternoon before i started on the cleaning. I was sitting listening to a neighbour arguing with his son, they weren't bothered everyone could hear them. The language was terrible the air was blue. The argument went in for a good half an hour, kept me occupied and gave me a giggle. They are friends again now.
I am planning to do a little more cleaning tomorrow since we are in for bad weather then im going to sit and relax and plan next years garden.
I bet if you took a photo every day of the sunflower from the exact location, you could put all of the shots into a cool animated gif. 🙂
That's a good idea. I may give it a try :)
sounds like the makings of a viral youtube vid
