Unfortunately it seems that sunflowers one and three have broken free of their bonds at some point today. I tied them back to their sticks, and they still look a bit wobbly, but I think they are going to be OK.

Number three’s leaves are all pointing in odd directions (since I think he was slumped on the floor for quite some time and therefore had to adjust to look at the sun) which makes him look most peculiar. It is reminiscent of the early days when he didn’t know whether to grow up or down.

The nasturtiums meanwhile have taken on a more battle-scarred look after their encounters with snails, slugs and drought. They’re mostly healthy, and contesting competitively for the sun with their neighbours the strawberries.
