Okay! Today I looked at the sunflowers in Box 1 again, and the one on the bottom left hand corner is amazingly big now! It seems to have sprouted yet another set of leaves - bringing the total to more than 4 sets of leaves. Whoa. I never knew sunflowers grew this many leaves...
Anyway, Sunflower 1 (nearest to the sweet potato) is also at the same stage in growth as the other sunflowers, except overall it's just smaller. Yay! The allelochemicals are still effective :)
Ah - the other sunflower, that had toppled over due to insects eating its stem, (in the top right hand corner) has lost all it's leaves because I "pruned" it - the leaves from before were obviously dying and I cut them off. They weren't going to do anything but hinder the regrowth of the plant. So yeah. The carrots look like they're regaining their leaves (yay!) and the watercress looks pretty similar to when it did during my last post.
The sweet potatoes in Box 2 are fine, as usual. But today they looked taller than before - some visible growth! So now I know they are still growing healthily.
The sunflowers in the small pot are also growing along with the sunflowers in Box 1.
