Late Bloomer.

After all of my other (well, about four) sunflowers had died off, and bent over, a late bloomer emerged. It's actually still shining.
I have been a good boy about watering, and several snow pea plants are looking happy. My lone tomato plant also looks strong.
I predict there will be a couple of sunflowers at Kaiser next time I head out there. I think I planted some snow pea seeds out there as well.
How does your garden grow?

Beans hanging on and tomatoes still going strong. Beets and carrots are small... potatoes still mostly underground. Cucumbers long since done and the zucchini said 'nope, not gonna'. The squirrels got to the sunflowers before I did, so no seeds for me. Still picking a raspberry or two.

@TheHorse Probably not enough room on your balcony.

I take care of my plants initially and then I get into hibernation!

@anya12adwi They're "calling out" to you!

Did you change your profile picture to another more recent picture of you.
Our garden is budding, if you know what I mean.

On the contrary, keeping certain folks confused and not so clear about you can keep the friendship part going longer !
Strange but "situationally" true !!

The Horse is a horse again, at last. 
Is that the lone tomato? Well, it's still pretty warm over there, so I shouldn't be shocked you're still growing tomatoes. Good the snow pea plants are doing well too.
Your thumb must be very green although it sinned with that Yamaha.

@somewitch If I do, I'll try to delay sentencing. Maybe I'll run for President.

We had a sunflower growing out by the alley one year. The dirt out there is hard and awful. I don't know how it grew but it sure did.

Your plants are going good.
One of our plants got a white flower recently.
It is of Champa (Hindi for Plumeria plant).

I had a few small sized sunflowers in pots a long time ago These days because of dense growth of greenery there is not much sun for flowers to bloom We had them in many pots in a row

Cool, I love the color. Anyway, maybe it made the saying " no one can hinder your growth when your time has arrived" true.

That is one tough flower. Today it is a mess after the storm and full of palm fronds.

Our flower garden is overgrown with weeds. The landscaper that cuts our grass wanted $450 to weed. No thank you. Have a good weekend.
