We planted peanuts this spring. There was a plant at the garden center and I couldn't resist. We let them grow and they made some beautiful little orange flowers mid summer. Then a few weeks ago we pulled the whole plant out of the ground. SO COOL!
We ate a couple but they weren't very tasty. I think we'll let them dry out then maybe roast them and try again.
We needed to empty out the water cooler so it won't freeze and break...Emma helped. Conquering turning this spigot on and off by herself might have been her proudest accomplishment this summer. She still comes to get me and show me that she turned "wawa off self".
And finally, the sunflowers. We harvested all the heads and saved the best ones for planting next spring (including
Ada's giant sunflower). Emma helped me collect the rest in buckets to give to the chickens as treats- they love to peck all the seeds out!
