Summer project report
by Henrik (18/06/10)
Thing are going good. Well, mistakes have been made, but I'm still satisfied with the results. The mistakes are putting out the Moonflowers to early and using loose, low-nutrition soil to cultivate the plants in. I thought the loose soil would let the plants grow big roots, but the soil didn't supply some of the plants with the right amounts of nutrition to grow big.

On this picture you can see almost all of the plants. It is only Sensitive plants that hasn't been moved out.

Another overview. Here you can see four red sunflower at the top with the blue butterfly. I'm hopping they will all bloom later this summer. Right below them in the middle is the sole surviving Moonflower. The other two couldn't handle the cold weather we had during May. The little white pot to the left of the Moonflowers contains the Penny black plants. More on them later. In the big black put there is two Painted daisy and two Strawflower surrounded with several Dusty miller plants. The pot in the lower middle contains four Wallflower plants and the wooden bucket in the bottom left corner contains two Wallflowers, one small Painted daisy and one small Strawflower.

A french marigold flower.

The first Scarlet sage flower.

Close-up on two Dusty miller plants. They are starting to get their gray coloring.

Close-up on the Penny blacks. As I said, I think it was a mistake to put them in loose, low-nutrition soil. They have been growing rather peculiar.

Close up on a Jasmine tobacco plant. They have been growing rather slowly, another consequence of loose, low-nutrition soil. I hoping the will start growing quickly now when they are in better soil.

Two more Scarlet sage plants.
