Showy Sunflowers

We did it!  Our 'random' sunflowers won first prize in the 'flowers grown from seed' category.  These twin cotyledon seedlings scattered in the compost, struggling up unannounced among last year's potatoes, snacked on by snails and slugs, have grown so tall.  They are a gift.  Whenever I go down to the plot I see them high above everything else except the beans, bumblebees at their centres.

Borlottis also won second prize in the 'any other veg.' class.  Busy bees visit them too.  Blessed September, filled with fruit and vegetables.  We give thanks.
