Daylilies and a Sunflower as big as the Sun.
There is little that can be as satisfying as planting a seed the size of your pinky nail in April, and standing underneath a nine-foot tall sunflower in July. Or sticking what looks like a bundle of roots into the ground and finding yourself surrounded with a riot of bright orange lilies almost as tall as your shoulders.
Except maybe having fresh grapes to eat, a handful of warm tomatoes, a bowl of cucumber salad and green beans just blanched. Makes sharing the sunflowers with the chickdees that much more fair. Birdies got to eat, too.
