I love today's post with the talk of Galena, your grandparents and your fond memories of visiting there. I'm sure you did see hollyhocks growing in the old gardens there. Also, I remember hollyhocks growing at your Great Grandma and Grandpa Leifheit's farmhouse!

Thanks, Mom! I don't remember them at Great Grandpa and Grandma Leifheit's house either but that makes a lot of sense. :)

Kudos to you for growing something that takes so long to payoff! It's like a test of self discipline or something - I am so so impatient with everything too haha. Can't wait to see the results!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think I was always really over sowing by mid-summer, too. :)

Ummmm, yeah, you should totally try and grow Hollyhocks! Based on what you've just written, I have to believe the payoff is worth the gamble. AND if you find they are struggling in your garden we now know the secret... you add a little trash to the pot, HA-HA-HA! You've got this.

Ha ha, you joke, but there could be something to that! Those street hollyhocks did look really healthy. :)
