I remembered today that one of the most exciting aspects of growing sunflowers at school was measuring their height on a regular basis and plotting their progress on a line graph (I’m a geek, remember?)

Unfortunately I’ve not been measuring them regularly, but here are today’s:

• Sunflower One: 82cm
• Sunflower Two: 90cm
• Sunflower Three: 68cm
• Sunflower Four: 64cm

Interestingly, number two has overtaken number one (they are numbered in the order in which they first emerged from under the compost).

They also have new canes (courtesy of Mr Batty) and are recovering well after yesterday’s falling-over ordeal. Number three’s leaves are all pointing in sensible directions once more.
