I don't know if you remembered but my late FIL was a gardener. He was a great gardener. Every other saturday, he will drive down from his house and do the gardening at our house. He love it because he gets to come see the girls and also go out to lunch with hubby. And also our yard is the best looking because we had a Japanese gardener doing it.
Well sadly a couple of years ago, he was in the accident (he hit the wall of a market - he blanked out and he thought he was hitting the brake but he was pushing the gas pedal). So after that accident, he gave up his gardening job here at our house.
We hired another gardener but he isn't the same as my FIL. So in front of our house, we have a half moon for growing flowers. But we can't never grow much in this plot of dirt.
Well, the girls decided they want to grow some sunflower seeds they got from Target. I told them to see if they can grow anything in the dirt in front of our house. Well, they dug a hole and put in 5 sunflower seeds. Well, guess what, 2 out of the 5 germinated. See below:
The one on the left is still growing and has not flowered yet. The one on the right you can see the flower petal and the seeds are still green. The two plants are over 6 ft. and still growing. I am wondering what our present gardener is thinking when he sees these two plants.
