The Green Thumb Gene

Early this spring Rie sowed her first seeds. With her Dad helping her with the spacing, Rie plopped down into the fresh dirt on her hands and knees. With shovel in hand she dug into the earth planted the seeds covered them up. She finished with a good drink for the seeds. She nearly gave up after a week of watering, until she became suprised by the sprouts poking out of the ground. Then the drought came, but Mom "helped" with the watering. By July the seeds had become bright sunflowers that were towering over the garage roof. By late August Rie was ready to harvest the "seeds" of her labor. So, here is Rie with her first monsterous sunflower!
