"I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight
-A Midsummer-Night’s Dream (2.1.260-5)

Some other Peoples Gardens
Some of the ladies on the 4 Real Forum had fun this year, following along with Susan Lovejoy's Book Sunflower Houses. This is a great inspiration for parents who want to garden with their kids!
Maria had great success growing HUGE sunflowers with her kids! I was definitely impressed with the size of them!
Joann managed to actually get a house out of her sunflowers... but they aren't done growing yet!
If you'd like to make your own sunflower house next year, check out this page for instructions and some fantastic pictures of sunflower houses in action!

Those sunflowers were monstrous in size!
After Mass today, we're going to sand our stalks down and maybe begin staining them...it will be interesting to see what happens!
