Sunflower!
Guys, its happened!!!
The sunflower is blooming! So Proud of my little baby! I'm gonna have to take it outside to get it pollinated. Makes me realize how little I know about flowers. Does it need another sunflower around to get pollen-ed? Will it make seeds without more sunflowers near by? Darn you bees for not listening.

Home Coming...
Ah its wonderful to be home. Yes its been a few days and all, but that certainly doesn't stop me from taking forever to get back to everyone! I am and forever will be! a slow poke.
Anyway! Upon return from FL, I was shocked to find that m plants had grown magnificently! You have to understand, while I was away I requested for the mother hen to tend the babies and please water them according to schedule. I also requested regular updates, which I did not receive, so I was thinking I would be coming home to a ruined wilted garden! But instead, I came home to this beauteous sight!
And then I went to Nicky's house for memorial day and what did I see but these amazing awesome presents! She gave these to me! Because mine are just so wimpy here at home. She gave me a pot of these things called... coleus! She made them from her very own homegrown seeds from last year and says she wants me to have them for the garden at Chris and Kel's! They look painted! Isn't that awesome!?!?!
Also did a bit of research upon coming home to find that my aloe plant needed mass trimming! Apparently once the leaves drop as low as they had its a strain on the plant, so I now have a cleanly trimmed aloe plant that is nice and gooey.
Oh its been so amazing guys! And to let you go, I have a photo op of my basil plant that is now so big that the leaves are as big as the one at the store! LOOK!
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
Replanted my lavenders too in nice new pots. Pictures to come!
