Well, little did I know how these were going to grow! To the above left you see them just planted on August 1st. Then starting to get some cute little flowers on August 29th below:
I just couldn't believe they grew so tall. They're only annuals, but my cousin said they self-sow profusely (which is why she had so many to give me) so I'm hoping they'll grow back next year.
I can see a ton of black seeds in the flowers, so I'm going to try saving some just in case they don't.
Fortunately, not only are they beautiful, but the pollinators also love them! All of the following pictures were taken one after another, with all the insects on the plants at the same time (plus more that aren't pictured). I'm sure they must be helping get all those squash pollinated. (see mofoers, this post is related to vegan food afterall!)
