I bought a few sunflower plants for our BLOOM stand this morning. I was actually on my way to buy some bags of farm yard manure in the local Connacht Gold co-op when the sunny bright faces of the sunflowers caught my eye. They were standing by the side of the road in Ballaghaderreen in the misty rain. They looked like they were hitching a lift.
The sunflowers were being sold by a local nursery at the farmers market. I thought they would be perfect for our Project Nasturuim stand, and it is good to support local business. Later this evening Hanna and I will visit their nursery to select some flowering plants of nasturtiums.
