Apparently, we have a gopher who found N's (5) sunflowers. The gopher thought the flowers were a tasty treat and ate one. N cried and cried. She was ready to take out a contract on the gopher. She didn't want to put out poison though because she was worried another animal might get it, but she wanted to know if our kitty could go outside and catch the gopher.
MWH and N transplanted the sunflowers to big pots. Here they are in their new homes.
MWH and N planted one more seed so she can have 6 again. She loves her flowers. She checks on them every morning and night and worries that it's too hot for them.
Here's the new baby sunflower. Look, it still has it's seed attached... Just like a baby with its umbilical cord.
Here is N with the sunflowers on 5/18. Look how much bigger they are in a week! (The first photo in the post was taken 5/11.) They are growing!
Did I tell you about her pepper plants, her kidney bean plant, and her apple tree? More gardening coming soon.
