Quinn's Sunflower Project

I decided that it would be a fun project for Quinn to grow some sunflowers as her portion of our garden this year. I started by getting a book called "The Sunflower House" from the library on our last trip. After I read it to her I asked if she would like to grow some sunflowers. We got the seeds and then it snowed... not a good day for planting. Quinn asked every day if we could plant the seeds. I promised her as soon as the snow was gone and it was warmer we would plant them. Today was the day! Let's watch the flowers grow over the next few months!
