Good morning!
It’s Thursday. And what happens to all those seeds when they reach those new and exciting destinations? With any luck they find a good spot, manage to germinate, put down roots, shoot up leaves, and start life anew—whether we intended them to or not.
For years, I’ve tried to get a robust patch of sunflowers growing in the lower garden, with little success. Someone else always spots those first few juicy leaves and, with a crunch and smack, says, “Mmm, thank you!”
I gave up trying this year. Mother Nature responded by plunking a totally unplanned specimen in the middle of the zucchini patch.
This stray seed dropped from a passing beak or buried by tiny paws has proved to be the healthiest, happiest, most robust sunflower ever to grace our garden.
So there you go.
