![]() The birds I feed planted black oil sunflower seeds, they dropped down between the large pine bark nugget mulch where the birds couldn't retrieve them, so they sprouted... next year I will plant lots of black oil sunflowers: http://i42.tinypic.com/14ipptu.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/6sfh8l.jpg |

Back in the spring she was whining that I had not planted any sunflowers this year. I had, but they had not yet appeared, or, being planted behind other things, had not yet outgrown them. The variety that I had planted were some sort of mutant tall sunflower. Every time I look out the bedroom window or across my backyard I see these 10 foot tall sunflowers, but no acknowledgement from the person who complained that I had not planted them. |

When I was young, I saw sunflowers for the first time. My friend had grown them to feed the ??? gerbils? or something like that and when she cut them she put them in a vase on the table.

It makes a nice border. But they do have a tendency to take over. Out beyond my property line, in the middle of dry, dusty sand, a bird dropped a seed.

Speaking of ground cover though, radishes make good ground cover for a small garden and especially potted plants. They grow shallow and don't interfere with the main plant's deeper root system. The leaf cover helps prevent the soil from drying out, plus you get to eat fresh radishes. Just throw the seeds all over the soil like you would do with grass seed. ![]() G. |

Even if you don't eat them they still make a cheap and easy ground cover to protect the other plants from drying out so quickly. G. |

I like that nippy taste. Something I picked up from German friends is that radishes go nicely with beer. |

Were you so sure you'd not have deleted my photo link and left Jill's. Vinca is common periwinkle, a very different plant. http://www.ngb.org/year_of/index.cfm?YOID=7 My phlox looks exactly like those in this picture, click on the picture to enlarge, check the leaves too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlox Mine is fenced, if not it would be deer fodder... it could never be invasive where I live... I tried planting it unfenced LOL-LOL. Mine with more detail... this proves it's phlox and not vinca: http://i44.tinypic.com/2liiik7.jpg |
