Sunflower

The garden is currently being given the rest that its earned so now is the time to reflect on some of plants that I didn't get a chance to showcase earlier on the year. One of them is the sunflower, this is the first time I've tried to grown them and the sprouted easily and once establishe kept reaching for the sky. I had a phot taken of myself when I was hardly 2 so I intended to capture a similar shot of my girl as she just turned 2 this year, alas all too often we forget that Mother Nature gets the last say in all to do in the garden.... Just as the sunflowers bloomed to their full size and I was ready for my photo shoot, the weather turned and we experienced high winds, on the morn the sunflowers were down and the opportunity for the photo was gone. Maybe next year.....

The raspberry canes
suffered too but they
had stopped producing by then
