Sunflowers

Facebook post from April 21, 2016

Do yourself a favor and go plant some sunflower seeds! It's not too late! Last summer I planted a packet of expired seeds and absolutely nothing happened. Turned out the soil was really off from the pool filter getting rinsed in there, but no more! Those old seeds just bided their time, and this spring we were surprised with a forest of sunflowers! Such a strong happy flower.  

There's also some lovely lesson in there about how we are always planting proverbial seeds but we don't always get to see the growth right away, but I'll let you mull on that one independently. 😉
