Summer Growth

At the end of school year celebration, Connor's teacher gave him a marigold that was about 1 inch tall, which the teacher  had raised from a seed. Connor carefully shepherded the tiny plant home, and I watered it almost religiously. Soon enough, it outgrew its pot, and Connor chose the perfect sunny spot to plant his plant.

In case you wondered what a marigold will do with full sun, full day over the course of the summer, now you know. I had no idea these plants could get so big, and Connor and I are both terribly pleased that we'll be able to give Mr. K. this photo this morning when school starts back up. (And wow am I thankful that Mr. K. didn't give him a bean, because Connor might be making daily trips up to visit the giants if he had!)

Here's to another great year!
