I put hay in between the rows to keep the weeds down and to conserve moisture. It works great I seldom need to water even when it hasn't rained for a couple of weeks.
This sunflower came up in a very small flower box on the back porch. It must have come from the bird feeder...not sure how it got there but it's done very well. I set the box next to the porch post for support...the flower is very tall and rather top heavy for the box it's in.
I love hydrangeas....I have two and this one is blooming like crazy. The flower heads are huge!

Beautiful sunflower and hydrangeas. When we lived in TN we had beautiful tall sunflowers...tons of them...we haven't seen any sprout of the ones we planted from seeds this year. Maybe the seeds were too old...or something...but, I did buy a few sunflower plants and they are doing well.
I wish I had space like that for a garden. I have to make do with our balcony and no place to shift the pots when the seasons change. Lovely flower. I enjoy your garden just as much as your stitching
The sunflower is picture perfect!
