We love sumflowers around here!!! We get a beautiful array of volunteers that are always fun! I also try to plant a variety of different ones around the property as well. Here’s an homage to all our sunflowers from over summer. 

One of these years I am going to make my sunflower house. This year it was hard to do much around my house aside from veggie gardening, due to all the work that went into The Bungalow. Most of these were volunteers! Do you love sunflowers like we do? I’d love to see your pictures!

Every year I grow sunflowers, it’s a must do! Edyth seems to share my love for these beautiful flowers and asked me numerous times to take her picture with the sunflowers. She’s such a cutie!!  

    
    

    
   
 We leave our sunflowers up all winter too and love watching the birds play around on them!!! Do you love sunflowers too? Share your story with me. 

Sunflower Round House

Sunflowers are by far one of my favorite flowers! Last year I lined part of my backyard with some 4ft tall ones, I wasn’t really happy with how it turned out. This year I wanted to do something fun and unique with them. A Sunflower Round House was the final decision!!!! My dad always fondly told stories of my great grandma Edith growing a patch of them and just leaving a spot in the center open for the kids to play in. I loved that idea but wanted to change it a bit. Here’s some pics of the process.  

First I had to decide where to put it…. That was a tough one. 


Then how big…. Still thinking I should have went bigger. I went with 10ft.  

   Then we weedeated the circle and shoveled it out 

    Three hours later it looks great!  

 

Now it just needs to grow!!! I think we are really going to enjoy this!!!  

 Ever had a sunflower house? Maybe your neighbor had one growing up?… Please share your stories!
