If no answer...I'm in the Garden

We've had gloriously not-too-hot weather and as usual, I'm trying to soak up as much sun and get yard time as possible.
Here's an update on how big the sunflowers are now.
oh, you can't tell that the sunflower is over a foot wide from that picture ? Here's Emily (all 5'3" of her) standing next to them for some perspective. I love her pose when I requested she stand there !
My asters have finally started blooming. I'm a little frustrated that it took so long when I winter sowed them and they were the first things to come up, but they look fantastic now.

There are many, many more yard pictures to be posted, but I must mow the lawn while the doggies are napping.
