My husband, Eric, carried the 40 pound bag of dirt to our flower bed for me.
First, I tilled the soil.
Then I added some black dirt to the topsoil.
Then I planted the seeds, 1/4 inch down, about 8 inches apart.
To protect my sunflowers from the pesky squirrels, I put up a fence around the area. Probably won't stop them, but hey, gotta give it a try.
Here's what the finished sunflower garden looks like on Day 1.
Watering the flower bed, hoping and praying that the squirrels don't eat all of the seeds and that some of the flowers make it!
