A quick sunflower update.

Runtface has been transplanted into a pot all by himself, to heal. He is in splendid isolation. He is also approximately 1 inch high, is finally looking more or less upright and has developed a strange brown stain all along one side of his stem. Poor Runtface.

Sunflowers 1 (Rudelypinioned), 2 (Ironicdutchess) and 3 (Slemslempike) are all approximately the same height, and that seems to be about 8 inches today. It's hard to tell because they're a bit bendy. Those three are all developing their second sets of leaves. Sunflower 4 (Siggen1) is about 7 inches, as is Sunflower 8 (Jendleberry). Sunflower 5 (Alicamel) is a bit of a weed at maybe 3 and a half inches. Sunflower 6 (Calapine) is perhaps 4 inches. Sunflower 7 (Jessandi) - about 6 inches.

I might try and take photographs but be prepared for a certain degree of abject failure.

*NEWSFLASH*

Calapine (6) has been surreptitiously OVERTAKEN by Alicamel (5) in a matter of merely a few hours. I cannot explain. Also I took some very blurry photographs and don't know how to upload them and will have to spend ages tomorrow poking various buttons and seeing what happens, but this isn't really part of the newsflash.

It's doing well! I straightened them all up just now so they could be measured and 1 is actually leading by about 2 millimetres.

Many thanks for the offer. If I continue to be totally inept at working things out for myself, I may well take you up on it.

Hooray! Grow faster, #1! Feed it Red Bull!!



Uh, on second thoughts don't. I killed my plant by feeding it coca cola :(

Tut. They're getting plain cold water, and a few random fumes from the nearby hob.
