In May, I cleared out a strip of land between our fence and driveway. It's a 16-inch wide strip that was overgrown with grass. I dug out all the grass and created a flower bed that was a couple inches lower than the surface of the driveway. I planted a row of sunflowers there. I chose a variety of sunflower seeds. Some are the small brownish red ones that have multiple flowers on each stalk. And I planted some giant ones that grow to over 8 feet tall.
The first flowers have started to bloom now:
