Sturdy Volunteers: Pink Cleome 2014-06-19 - Old Gradyville Road, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. I set out perhaps three cleome seedlings last year - tenderly cosseted to transplanting size in small pots on the front porch. The first bloom opened on July 5. I was regretting that I hadn't time to start plants this year when I discovered that 'Rose Queen' had done the job for me and perpetuated her kind all around the big rock in the front yard. - Sharon Whitehurst Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Sturdy Volunteers: Early Blooming Sunflowers 2014-06-19 - Old Gradyville Road, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. I wasn't surprised to see sunflowers emerging in the neglected strips with the advent of warmer weather. The surprise has been at how quickly they reached blooming status. Scrolling through photos from 2013, I find the first sunflower in bloom on July 7. The scent of a pollen-laden sunflower has been familiar since childhood when my Grampa Mac planted a row at the bottom of the garden each year. - Sharon Whitehurst Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Sturdy Volunteers: Shades of Lavender and Blue Nigella 2014-06-19 - Old Gradyville Road, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Our Nigella produced only a few wispy stems in 2010 but has since faithfully maintained a presence. The fat striped seed pods can be gathered and the seeds merely strewed on top of the soil. This year a second flowering has sprung from plants that Jim mowed in his persistent efforts to tidy the straggling edges of my gardens. A clump has established along with an errant poppy or two in the edge of the stony rubble behind the garage.
