Geek Gardener

Hello there. I'm Matt and I'm a computer geek. My fiancée Nancy
is a big gardening fan and she gets a great suntan pottering around in our
garden dealing with plants and flowers and things whilst I waste away typing.
I have therefore decided to redress that balance by trying to grow something
myself this summer. This site tracks my efforts.

I noticed for the first time a fourth sunflower attempting to live, right in the corner. It’s only a little stubby unhealthy looking thing so I don’t expect it to survive, but I shall give it my full support and encouragement regardless.

The nasturtiums are looking well happy. I’ve turned this tray around 180 degrees too, so you can see their happy faces all pointing the same way. In theory by tomorrow they’ll’ve craned their necks around so they’re looking at the sun again.

Nancy helped me prop up the three sunflowers with some old chopsticks. Note that the trays have been rotated 180 degrees to give the other side some sun, so the weirdo one that wasn’t growing straight is now at the front-left. It has been forcibly stretched out like its brothers and now looks a bit more normal, if a little reluctant.
