Excellent! I am so happy for you!
I spent the entire morning working in the garden. We are just getting the scent of orange blossoms on the breeze. I harvested my first ever sunflower seeds. The seeds are plumper and sweeter than the ones I have had from the store. I am growing the sunflowers mostly for the birds.
I do miss rhubarb. It is too warm here for it to grow.

Yeah, it is fussy about location: and soil type!
‘Luckily’ our garden is on a former factory site: so we had no choice but to choose our soil and make it ourselves
Still a bit gritty for my taste, but we’re two years past the point were everything we plant out dies for want of water & nutrients
Haven’t managed to get sunflowers to work here yet: they flower ok, if a touch late, but then the autumn damp does for the seeds before they’ve properly dried.
Orange blossom is lovely scent: looking forward to ours when the season comes round.

I have big soil problems too. Sand mostly. Had it tested and there are zero nutrients in it. Zero. So I have been trying to improve the soil, but its been more difficult than I anticipated.
What I read about sunflowers is when the back of the head turns yellow, cut it off about 6 inches below the head and hang it upside down inside to dry. I'm not doing that because I want the birds to eat them, but no takers so far.

Yeah, it has been difficult here too: many autumn evenings spent soaking an aching back in the tub!
Cow manure & wormery compost dug in in combination was what sealed the deal here: although the additional weeds from the wormery was a teething problem.
I’ve also dug in all the spent compost from dahlias and such to improve water retention.
One morning two(?) years back I did a little dance of joy when I found the first slug since we’d moved in!
Think I’ll have to try that with the sunflower: my wife’s keen on all foods seedy.

moved my desk in, room is finally coming together. this is the first time i've painted furniture, i've done canvases before, but never something with curves, corners, angles, nooks and crannies.
i had to paint it, the original coloration was absolutely horrendous, i can't show it here, it would get me banned.
i'm driving to seattle and then kirkland tomorrow to pick up an easel, which i have always needed.
