Sunflowers!!

The little sunflower seed grew and grew and grew! If you need an easy, fun gardening project, then we've got one for you! The girls had so much with the tiny seeds that eventually grew into the sunflower plants in our front flower beds. Unbelievably, the sunflowers reached the eaves of the house and the flowers were very large. Once the seeds in the center of the flower had matured, Charley cut the flower off of the plant and roasted the shells/seeds. They tasted just like the ones you would buy at the store and it was so much fun for the girls to see the whole process! And, they were super simple to grow!
