Harvest

Well, it's the time of year to harvest the sunflowers.  Matt let Jackson help cut down a few of the stalks.  I forgot to take a picture this morning of the bowls of sunflower seeds from just six of the heads.  We're going to dry them and salt them and try them out!

It Has Begun; They Have Grown

 It's that time of year again, and did my boy look sharp or what on the first day of school?!  I personally think he's a stud.

 And this our back fence now.  We love it.

Sunflower Status

I have not been great at keeping you all updated on Jackson's sunflowers.  Well, they're growing quite well, actually.  Take a peek for yourself.

Jackson's actually impressed that a couple of them are almost as tall as he is.  The best thing about this garden is that it's his.  When I remind him, he will actually weed it -- especially if I'm out there with him.  I find that it's definitely worth it to me to get him to do something he doesn't like to do for something he does want. 

And don't worry, we were actually in the process of weeding them when I paused and made him pose for a few pictures.
