Week six

Steaming ahead now, with the flower buds starting to separate out. Even if I have yet to work out how best to take its picture in the morning light. Is the answer simply to wait until the afternoon, when the sun has gone off this east facing window?

Sunflowers right coming along, with much variation of size and vigor and not without incident. Since the last report at reference 2, the seedling of the near-death experience has expired, with its main root rotted or eaten through about half an inch below the surface. Replaced with one of the seedlings popping up in the kitchen windowsill bucket - and just to be on the safe side, in a clean pot and with new compost. The half dozen or so extra seedlings reported last time have now been snipped off. A second mushroom has been removed. And I am now wondering what to do about the two seedlings which appear to be being eaten. A small slug coming up at night? Slug pellets?

And to deal with growing towards the sun, their table is being rotated 90° clockwise first thing each morning. Which I hope will straighten them out.
