I've gotten a little off track with documenting our sunflowers this summer. I've been getting the weekly pictures taken, just not finding the time to upload them. We did miss pictures last week (week 9). We were working out in the yard and by the time we were done and ready to take pictures, it was starting to rain and thunder, and we had a bit of a fire ant problem.

apparently rather be golfing than posing! |
Our poor sunflowers. They were not doing well at all; I'm pretty sure the sandy soil just wasn't a good fit. They weren't dying, but they weren't exactly thriving, either. So, in a desperate attempt to revive them, last week I dug them up, dug a huge hole and filled it with garden soil. The sunflowers were replanted in hopes that they would take off. Well....we have some casualties. There are several that have perished since last week, they probably weren't doing so hot and the shock of transplanting just was too much. On a good note, the ones that are left seem to be doing very well. They look sturdier, greener, and taller. I'll have to work harder next spring to get a good plot of soil ready before we plant the sunflowers next year.
