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.
Gratified to find all the sunflowers still standing and not snapped or otherwise ravaged by the wind, I decided it was about time to take another set of measurements.

This changes the order of the previous measurements which had Two a couple of inches taller than One. That they are now in proper descending order pleases me somewhat. I’m also slightly flabbergasted that they’re 40% taller than they were just seventeen days ago.
It’s been very windy today, and despite my initial fears for the sunflowers, the nasturtiums seemed to have suffered worse, with the side facing the garden in a rather sorry state. Their new neighbour the fuschia was also listing about 20 degrees to starboard (which I corrected prior to the photograph).
Hopefully there’ll be no lasting effects and a nice bit of sun will perk them up tomorrow.
