My Dad is One Badass Gardener

sunflower

I couldn’t believe it when I stepped out on my deck and the first thing that caught my eye were these 10 foot sunflowers in the garden.  There were only two of them, but the diameter of each head had to be over a foot long.  It was too bad that I came so late in the summer as most of the petals had already fallen off and the seeds had been eaten by birds.  And my dad had already torn up the rest of the garden, save for a couple of tomato plants.  Doesn’t he know his daughter wants to photograph everything?  And that she doesn’t ever even see gardens anymore??  You can certainly take the girl out of the country, but I guess there will always be a little country left in her.
