This Spring the kids and I carefully planted 3 packs of seeds in planters.  We had a few extra sunflower seeds so we threw them out in the yard.  Brooke then pushed them in the ground and started watering them.  This is the sunflower seed that sprouted and the only thing that grew from all of our planting.  It's now over 5 feet tall and has 2 bloooms.  Looks like Seth is protecting it with his sword attached.
