So, since I really have been working hard on my garden this year, and because I am really competitive, I have added a few "special touches" to my yard. Things like an American Flag, a "United we Stand" sign (from Gavin's room), and I rearranged a few little things.
Here is what the garden looked like today, after I heard about the contest:
The sunflower on the far left is about to hit the roof! Hopefully it flowers soon.
I added a (tiny) American flag, can you find it?
I think one of the reasons I might not win anything is because there aren't a whole lot of flowers, mainly just fruits and vegetables growing. Brandon offered to sabotage potential competitors, but I don't think that would be very fair. Anyway, wish me luck! And any ideas on improving what I've got please comment and let me know!
