Barney's Sunflowers


Barney's Sunflowers

To show the great grandchildren how easy it is to grow sunflowers. Last year we planted giant sunflowers and they watched them grow all summer. This year I'm afraid I planted some of Barney's dinner. (Barney is my African Grey parrot). They sprouted within two days and are only in a mushroom container from shops. To keep them interested I planted their giant pumpkin seeds this weekend and hopefully they can take them when this nightmare is over. I send photos to show updates to them. As I said yesterday, God Bless Whattsapp. I keep in touch with my grandson in Tokyo on it with voice and video calls. I should be there for cherry blossom time. It was my 70th birthday present from him last year. Certainly not happening this year because Tokyo on lockdown.
