Midwest Gardens. 2025...Just watching it grow!

 Ad-Free Blog

Just a delicious hazy photo of vines and Sunflowers out my window...almost like a painting. Our Sunflowers have been plentiful and spectacular this year. And the goldfinches (middle of this shot) have been insatiable and almost violent while stripping the juicy heads of the flowers.

See his little black wings and daunting stare..."MY SUNFLOWERS"

Our fence is six-feet high on the East side, and that's the neighbor's house. This is about half of what was there earlier as so many were torn down with storms...Such a glorious way to celebrate summer with Yellow smiling faces in the morning sun.

Quick post...the garden is alive, we are only half alive and caught a bug this week but are recovering.  Anything at our age can be serious...but we are on the mend.

Hope to get some produce photos tomorrow! 

Midwest Gardening has been interesting this year, 
More to come soon!

  2. Hi Sandi. Your sunflowers are gorgeous. Would love to wake up to that sight. Our garden did poorly this summer. Jerry's tomatoes just wilted on the vine. The only thing left is that pretty plant on the front porch that I showed in my last post. It just keeps keeping on.. Enjoy the rest of summer..xxoJudy

    1. Yes, it has been a tough year...too hot, too wet, now cool..totally weird. Well, things are starting to recover a bit. Tomorrow I'm transplanting some delphiniums grown from seed and finally putting my coleus out in time for frost, LOL. hugs, Sandi
