It&#39;s particularly difficult to grow since my husband keeps MOWING IT DOWN! grrr I even put this year&#39;s lavender behind a fence! He pulled the fence up and cut down everything inside it. I just didn&#39;t understand that one!<br /><br />Thanks for the cute contest!<br /><br />Lisa<br />@mflowerfarm on Twitter<br />Meadowflowerfarm @ gmail . comMeadow Flower Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17764918161892407726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-27250394578289959992009-06-05T18:22:18.409-07:002009-06-05T18:22:18.409-07:00I love sunflowers, any kind.

They are easy to grow and make fabulous photography subjects:) <br /><br />By far, my favorite veggie is the Tomato.

Magnus and Primadonna Deep are both in my garden with Double Decker following soon. The bees love them and they are easy to grow.

In summer, the temperaturesin my arid area of California can soar above 100 degrees for weeks. The zinnias just seem to thrive, and without gallons of water! My favorite variety is &quot;Polar Bear.&quot; They truly live up to the name. And the bees just love them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-15834957564575397192009-06-03T02:02:12.445-07:002009-06-03T02:02:12.445-07:00A favorite annual flower is the old faithful, corn flower. The butterflies like it too. There are pink, white and black, but my favorite is the &quot;Blue Boy&quot; because it is a clear,bright blue, long blooming in the garden and as a cut flower.Patsy Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03011316396999867141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-63064952791251783972009-06-02T22:55:19.191-07:002009-06-02T22:55:19.191-07:00Well, I have to favorites. The Calla Lily- it&#39;s beautiful, feminine, elegant (and a touch erotic, if I may say so!)- the second is a fairly new one.

I could not find them anywhere else! I am not a big fan of most summer squash-too watery and sometimes a little bitter. But trombone squash is sweet and meaty with a taste reminiscent of sunflower seeds. And, the vine is beautiful...it will ramble along a fence with huge white flowers that bees adore. I am so glad to find that the seeds are available again, and I started enough for a bumper crop for myself, for all my friends and to cover the new fence that is being installed in our school garden. It is going to be a trombones galore summer! Thanks, Renee, for continuing to offer my favorite summer squash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-63928454185586101712009-05-31T09:39:59.904-07:002009-05-31T09:39:59.904-07:00I love them all, but I especialy love to see the wild "sweet pea" now in bloom along the sides of the roads and fields in Western NY.<br />Plilnane@aol.comClaudiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16667135718335131934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-86949103347086152562009-05-31T08:55:02.670-07:002009-05-31T08:55:02.670-07:00opps..fogot my email leenersmith@hotmail.comLinks of Doomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047041150520211023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242826954052867734.post-48396789266192890992009-05-31T08:53:23.409-07:002009-05-31T08:53:23.409-07:00My favorite is the flower from the Acacia tree.
