Once in a while I am lucky enough to be around to help them plant the house. I'm always amazed how I'm lucky to get a sunflower 1 foot tall and she always has the perfect house. Thank you for planting that wonderful 'seed'!Bonnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052974547161586063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-36768750299393478272011-08-22T20:22:07.753-07:002011-08-22T20:22:07.753-07:00sharon, to quote a certain two year old, with as m...sharon, to quote a certain two year old, with as much sincerity:<br /><br />ta ta kiss kiss<br /><br />♥<br />kjkjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-12882749556367703652011-08-22T11:55:15.081-07:002011-08-22T11:55:15.081-07:00Hello camp Popcorn!

Your posts from Maine...Hi Sharon, Where do I start? Your posts from Maine are filled with all kind of goodies that I throughly enjoy. At one time, when I was a bit younger, I taught Adult Educational classes on country antiques and cottage gardening -- this was when I wasn't doing my day job. I taught in about 20 different metro school districts and gave lectures. I guess I am telling you all this as your post would have been a great reference to the folks that took classes from me. Alas, blogging was not invented yet. Read every bit of your post today and also checked out the Lowe blog -- wonderful. Reading all of your thoughts about gardening and looking at your photos makes me very melancoloy for the connectiveness I found with gardeners in my classes. I will continue to read you with a big smile on my face -- you truly are a fantastic blogger.-- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-67984076433862525542011-08-22T08:25:32.119-07:002011-08-22T08:25:32.119-07:00dear sharon,

So lovely to see another Sunflower house. Another couple of weeks and we can plant our sunflowers for Summer. This year not only am I making another sunflower house, I am dotting sunflowers all over my garden. I I just love looking out at those beautiful big yellow faces..We grow sunflower seedlings for salads too. When the seedling developes it's first two leaves, that is when it is at its most nutritious. So lovely to see your parcel from our dear friend Susan. I too received one from across the miles. She has such a kind giving heart. <br /><br />What a beautiful peaceful place to live and write. <br /><br />Love to you Sharon<br />Warm regards<br />Suzanne <br />Xsuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879667220536539227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-74693647417271898712011-08-20T07:17:49.697-07:002011-08-20T07:17:49.697-07:00Hello dear KJ,

So I grow my sunflower seedlings in those plastic containers that salad greens come in (for when I don't have my own). They're about 12" wide and about 3 or 4 inches deep. I can flop the lid down at night and then lift it in the morning. I got a great crop of sunflowers this year and so did my granddaughter Sara May. She was thrilled.<br /><br />A sunflower house is the BEST playhouse in the world.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />SSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-46086211361063713182011-08-20T01:33:28.412-07:002011-08-20T01:33:28.412-07:00Even though baseball is a tiny sport over here lot...Even though baseball is a tiny sport over here lots of us know about Babe Ruth, Him walking around o Your property long ago is great!<br /><br />Beautiful photographs of beautiful places!
