Update de la sunflowers.

[whatho]

I've been frantically busy (for me) but I do intend to do a proper sunflower update with photos soon, possibly on Sunday. Just a quick thingummy for now: most of the sunflowers are thriving. Number 2, in spite if its unfortunate injury, is actually the tallest at present, closely followed by number 1, then 8, 4, 3 (who's looking a little peaky but is in no immediate danger), 7 and 9.

Runtface went outside two days ago. He's doing extraordinarily well. He's onto his third set of leaves, is as stout and hearty a little sunflower as you're ever likely to meet and has overtaken 5 and 6.

5 is quite the freak, Alice. 5's two primary leaves fused to form one massive leaf. It then produced a single enormous second leaf on a little branch it developed specially for the purpose, and is now working on two others of varying sizes. It seems happy enough doing its own thing.

6 doesn't look entirely healthy - a bit wan and now the smallest of the bunch. But the plan is to move both 5 and 6 outside soon. I'm sure both shall benefit from a spot more sunshine. Just need to make a couple more slug collars.

And that was the sunflowers at 23.43.

You are! But I am not demolishing the sunflowers at this stage. I'm thinking the winner will probably be the first one to flower, or the biggest when it flowers, or something.

Poor old West Brom.

KILL RUNTFACE.

Oh ma poor wee six is going to die, isn't he? I blame voodoo.

Well...not...necessarily. Actually I think not. I just think he needs to go outside, where perhaps he will thrive. Currently he is like a nineteenth century tuberculotic heroine. I'm sure it's very poetic.

Yay Runtface! It's all the vibes we've been sending from All Over The Internet.

The internet has done wonders for Runtface. Everyone here gleams with pride and admiration when his newly inappropriate name is mentioned.
