It’s almost time to start cleaning up my annuals, but I’m not ready😭

1 year progress. It’s struggling a little(and full of cat hair), but I have a bunch of it’s babies in random pots started from a single leaf prop :). I thought it was a ghost plant, but now I’m not sure..Google has given me several IDs. Thoughts? Thanks

Eventually I’ll get better lights..

I had a lot of fun with my first year of gardening! This might be a dumb question, but I have this wall I would like to try to grow a couple of mammoth sunflowers in front of next year. The problem is the wall is on the NE side and the open yard is SW. if I grow the flowers near the wall on highlighted section (second pic) are the open blooms likely to just face the wall vs the yard? Is it worth even trying? I know the obvious answers to plant somewhere else, but I’m kinda determined to create some sort of flower bed in that area next year. Thanks!

Finally getting enough blooms to cut some ☺️

My first year gardening… this was just the serotonin boost I needed!

Highlight of my day :). They had so many left!

It’s so addicting!

First year growing sunflowers. This plant has 14 buds forming so far :)

…and a tad creepy. Mutations kinda gross me out😅

This sunflower just passed the 4 foot mark (I think mine are behind schedule) The stem looks strong but I’m getting worried. Can the branching type handle 4 buds close together?

(Not so patiently) Waiting for blooms

First year growing flowers and I'm the worst helicopter parent (beetles have been feasting on all my seedlings). Does it look like it’s doing okay? I planted 5/12 & this is the biggest one so far..I'm hoping for blooms soon🤞

That’s one way to sell a tent

Got two cups for $5 (not that I need more cups🤣)

I stare at them everyday and feel like they’ve barely grown…but I guess they have 🤣
