Sunflowers

When Dan & I first moved in together I bought some gerbera daisies and put them in a corner and basically forgot about them. Needless to say, they didn't last too long :-s

So when we decided to move to Verona and into an apartment with a balcony I was very excited that we'd have that outdoor space and quickly said I wanted to get some pots and flowers. Well Dan, remembering the daisies, said we weren't going to go spending any money unless I could prove I could keep something alive for longer than a day or two.

In April we each got a little starter pot w/ sunflower seeds from the Dollar section in Target and planted them at the same time. Dan said if I was able to keep mine alive then I'd be allowed to further expand my garden.

Well....I have to say....I think I'm doing pretty darn good!

Sadly, Dan's sunflowers didn't survive to have their picture taken. They had an unfortunate mishap w/ some MiracleGro (not my fault!)

I'm proud to say the geraniums and roses are doing quite well. However, my lilies didn't survive the massive amount of rain we got just after planting them.
