Sunflowers!

My colleague at The Baltimore Sun, Mary Gail Hare, writes that the sunflowers are at their peak in northern Harford County and growers there are ready for visitors with cameras to arrive.

 

More than 300 acres have been planted with the happy blooms in Jarrettsville, Norrisville, White Hall and Madonna. 

Harford's fields are strikingly visible on well-traveled roads and seem to go on for miles.

Mary Gail advises that the most florid fields are at Jarrettsville Pike and Hess Road, Baldwin Mill Road at Route 23 and Route 439 about three miles east of Interstate 83.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
