So yesterday, I went to the local Flower Power and - guess what??
I GOT A SWEET POTATO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH READY TO GROW!!!
All I need to do is plant it in some soil, cover it with a bit of dirt, water it a bit, and then leave it!
However, the vascular and non-vascular plants that I want to plant next to it are really starting to turn out to be a challenge. I wanted to plant a sunflower - but according to the site I found before, they have a "low" sensitivity to allelochemicals! ARGH!!!!
I was really stupid and didn't check it before I went to the Flower Power. I bought sunflowers seeds and carrots already! I didn't get a liverwort, though because I don't think you can actually grow them.....So I have to re-think everything and go buy MORE plants!
:'( I really am stupid.
Anyhow. I will plant the sweet potatoes first, then. I'm gonna do that now.
WAIT - I just had an idea! I will still use the carrots - because I don't want to waste my mum's money, and I will use it in Part B. Although I already have plans for Part B, the carrot can just be another trial plant that I can use. I mean, the more trials the better, right?
Pretty much, anyway.

Which plants to plant for Part A?
For a vascular plant --> A sunflower, because they are apparently easy to grow and the smaller types begin to flower before 3 months.
For a non-vascular plant --> A liverwort, because they are more well-known than hornworts and they are also apparently easy to grow.
However, I will further investigate these types of plants when I go to the local "Flower Power" today. :)
