~ Day 62 ~

This is one day late. I'm sorry - my posts are now consistently late! But at least I'm taking the observations when I have to, and I'm just posting them late. Anyhow, here's yesterday's observations:

Box 1: The sunflower in the bottom left-hand corner has begun to grow petals!!! I see them now, all curled up in the middle of the furry green spiky things. :) Funnily enough, it doesn't seem as if Sunflower 1 has developed the petals along with the sunflower in the bottom left-hand corner....weird. Allelochemicals, perhaps?? Yay. Uh, the sunflower in the top left-hand corner looks as if it's wilting. Maybe it's the pouring rain that has been going on for a few days now, but it doesn't look so good.... The sweet potato, carrots and watercress look fine, as usual. 

Box 2: Most of the sweet potatoes look the same as before, but I've just noticed a small leaf in the sweet potato in the top left-hand corner! It looks like it's getting bigger! However, that's basically the only sign of growth in this Box.

Small pot: The sunflowers in this pot look fine. It's an important observation, though, that they don't seem to be developing petals either. Perhaps the sunflower in the bottom left-hand corner of Box 1 is simply an "early bloomer"? Hahaha.
