Finally they’re starting to bloom...

.. my little sunflowers. I’ve been waiting for them for such a long time; all the other little flowers have been blooming all summer already

Best, Inge

How lovely!
The summer flowers are blooming very sparingly here this year, and the tomato harvest is turning out to be meager, too—it’s almost always gloomy and usually wet as well. On the other hand, mushrooms are already growing in the balcony planters. What a summer....

That’s lovely, Inge. I love these flowers, too.

Luckily, we’ve had plenty of sun so far, even though we’ve had enough rain. Our harvest is looking very good so far.
