They Came Up!

One of my favorite books to read to the kids when they were really little was The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss. The little boy in the story plants carrot seeds, but everyone he knows keeps telling him "They won't come up." By the end of the story, the little boy has grown the biggest carrot anyone has ever seen. We feel like the little boy in that story when he says, "They came up!" Our Mammoth sunflowers are sprouting like crazy. About three of our Evening Suns have sprouted as well. We are still anxiously waiting on the Autumn Beauties to sprout.
