It's Summer here. Look what we're growing by our front porch?

I'm very jealous! Can't tell you how much I wish it were summer here.

I love sunflowers! It must be nice to have them on your porch.

Very nice. I love walking in and out of the front door. Although we do have a few that are confused. They point towards the house where the sensor floodlights turn on at night.

And when it's your Summer, I'll be wishing it was Summer over here!

Nice sunflower Sydney. Good to hear from you again.

What a gorgeous sunflower! We used to grow them when we lived in California. Do you harvest and toast the seeds?

Awesome!!
We haven't had those since DS15 brought one home from nursery school in a paper cup - it was so much fun watching it grow to twice his height. Will think about planting some this summer, your pic is inspiring

Something to look forward to- a color other than white. We had them almost every year growing on their own in the back yard, but this year there were none.

We never have as in our previous house the cockatoos come and eat them.
Maybe this time if no cockies come. We've only ever just bought a packet of seeds and plant them that way.

Maybe next Summer Tony, or get a packet of seeds.

I'd enjoy that, seeing the types of flowers you Northerners grow. So please do!

Stunning! And so very different than the variety I've had in past. Now I'll have to plant some this spring, just to show you .

I have to as a question. I am not a world traveler or know what goes on for weather in some other countries. What does winter hold for temperatures for you? And, any break to the drought? That last question of course has to do with the grapes. I like some of the fruit bomb wines from the down under.

Beautiful flower, wish I had some here. The only thing I am growing by my front door is some ice crystals and snow flakes. I may even have a new crop by the weekend!
