Yesterday my neighbor cut down my foot tall sunflower that I carefully
nursed through our late freeze. Never trust a man with a weed-whacker.
I should have realized he was having just TOO much fun when the thing was
still whirring constantly and he had pretty much trimmed everything that
wasn't moving. And then he moved to our murky property line and BANG! my
sunflower was gone before I could scream, "STOP!"

Last year I planted about 60 of them. Not one grew.

I give.


You would if you could girl. Time to get back up on that horse and get
some seeds into the ground. This time when they come up, put a small
tomato arbor over them and ask your neighbor if he ever thought about
becoming an alto.
