Rainy day ramblings! Tithonia for a bit of sunshine

Finally we get some sun....on Sunday evening!  However, all was not in vain!  I did accomplish alot this weekend, albeit slow!  I graveled my area around my raised bed that only grew weeds (and will keep slugs away!) I also cleaned the garage, so you can walk through it (imagine that!) and I can use the nice bench to piddle with my seedlings and grow on my plants instead of all through the house windowsills!  I did, however, as it was a rainy weekend, look through some more seeds...after pulling up weeds in my pathways, I decided I would try creeping thyme in their place...I also have been dying to try to grow an old favourite...Tithonia!  I hope it grows well here!

I dont really know where I will grow it, although I have space..

I have a wonderful link I found with more information how to grow tithonia.

Enjoy, and think of the sun....I'm running out to see the few rays this weekend!!

BTW.....I think this will not be a tomato year...for those of us without greenhouses....I'm not giving up, however!
