Sunflowers ?

[VioletDove]

I planted a few sunflowers several years ago. They must like my soil here because they’ve since started popping up everywhere. My husband and I often disagree on whether or not to pull them up when we see them growing in our garden. He sees them as a nuisance but I think they are pretty and I like to let them grow.

Talking about stuff popping up.

My Bellah went for a trek in the woods today. I had to go after her, and found about six unfamiliar plants growing out there. 

They turned out to be papaya trees. I don't know how they got there, but I remember my Mother was given three papaya from a neighbor, but that was over six months ago. 

She doesn't remember throwing the seeds out there, and it is not a section of the woods that we frequent, so I am going to blame the rabbits. Or should I thank the rabbits?

One year we were surprised with a harvest of Seminole pumpkins. You never know what is going to pop up here in the woods.

What a nice find! I’ve recently found several “weeds” here that are good to eat. I just made some wild violet jelly today. Nothing as exciting as a papaya tree though. Good Bellah for leading you out there!

I would rather grow Jerusalem artichokes, they come up year after year and the roots taste pretty good.

Salted sunflower seeds are pretty good, but too much is not good for anyone, and they are a lot of work to get a finished product.  Considering how cheap they are, I will just buy them.
