Watching my mom with her sunflowers is like seeing a real-life fairy tale. She swears by starting seeds indoors in early spring, then moving them outside once the frost is gone. Every morning, she checks the soil—sunflowers love it loose and a little sandy. Watering is a must, but she never lets the roots get soggy. The craziest part? She talks to them. Maybe it’s the sunshine, maybe it’s her pep talks, but these sunflowers shot up taller than our garage! I help her tie them to stakes so they don’t tip over in the wind. There’s nothing like seeing those giant yellow faces greet you every day. Growing sunflowers together turned our backyard into a happy place and gave us the best summer memories. gardening #sunflowers #familytime #backyardbliss #gardening #sunflowers #familytime #backyardbliss
