But, things perked up, even with that little bit.<br />We'll all keep hoping for more.<br />I love that sunflower...wonder if deer like them.Linda/patchworkhttp://patchworkgarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-29673752467323160042009-08-28T08:20:53.727-07:002009-08-28T08:20:53.727-07:00Pam- Mine went in in the late spring and they are ...Pam- Mine went in in the late spring and they are just an annual so I don't think planting them now would be the right time. They make for rather a large plant but I love them as they hold their color well.<br />Deborah- I have often had things melt in the greenhouse but never outside before.<br />Dee- No rain here. I think we get far less rain on this side of the I35 corridor. Maybe tonight.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-73237514949768212872009-08-28T08:11:00.883-07:002009-08-28T08:11:00.883-07:00Tithonia is a butterfly magnet, in the top three i...Tithonia is a butterfly magnet, in the top three in my garden. I dotted them all around.

Then it feels like a confectionary oven.<br /><br />I love Tithonia too.

I believe I got some Tithonia seeds last spring and need to throw some out this fall (or next spring?).<br /><br />I'm not at all surprised to see the melted plastic container.
