Sunflowers, I Think

About a month ago a little plant appeared growing in the bed of my truck. It had seed leaves like a cucurbit, so it was assumed that that is what it was. No. Now it looks like a sunflower, but it is not growing very fast. Another plant jumped up in a pot where camellias were being rooted. It is definitely a sunflower. Where do they come from?



It rained on Friday, so it was too wet to stretch fence on Saturday. The fence for another section was put in place and the stretcher was hooked up to have it ready to pull. Sunday afternoon the ground had dried enough to stretch the fence. It was stretched but not nailed. Yesterday it was nailed, but it had rained all night Sunday and most of the day Monday, so the last section was not installed until Tuesday afternoon. Everything is done now except for a strand of wire on the top and the gate.

The new greenhouse is getting full with the plants that are being divided or repotted. The new seedling heat mats have not arrived yet so the parsley, cilantro, thyme and marigolds were put on a shelf with light but no heat. The greenhouse is pretty warm anyway.
