It all started with a small packet of SUNFLOWER SEEDS...I gave the seeds to Tate one day out of sheer desperation to entertain him. I told him to go plant them anywhere in the garden, thinking that it might keep him busy for a few minutes yet not expecting them to grow. Since there really wasn't any room left in the garden, he planted them amongst the herbs. Sure enough after almost no time, Tate's sunflowers started to grow.
After they grew a couple feet tall, I decided to pull out the herbs that were surrounding the sunflowers and replant them closer together in another location.
Every day it seems, the sunflowers would grow a few more inches until they were taller than Tate and even taller than the wall.
Then one day, Tate checked on his sunflowers (a daily ritual of course) and proudly announced that the flowers had bloomed. He was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
Now they are HUGE and beautiful, and Tate is counting down the days till he can eat the seeds from them.
THE END.
