Mother Nature is full of surprises. I’m big on growing my
garden from seed year after year, and each summer the bees mix things up a
little differently. Six years ago I planted mammoth, white seed sunflowers. Two
years ago, the bees mixed it with something and the seeds turned black. This year
those same seeds now come up purple and have a nice floral fragrance. Go figure.
But I enjoy the curveballs Nature throws me, and each
year it makes my garden a little more unique. I have purple sunflowers, red
corn, and some pretty tasty tomatoes. I should have more pumpkins, but the
gofers have been unforgiving this season.
What types of plants to you like to grow in your garden? Do
you enjoy harvesting your own fresh food? Or perhaps you enjoy herbs and
flowers? How do you enjoy summer in your backyard?
