R.I.P Little Ralf

Today is a sad day.

I was very excited about updating you all on how Little Ralf was doing. He had grown magnificently tall and was starting to flower. I was pretty confident you'd all guess that he is in fact a Sun Flower, but then disaster struck! I tripped over his pot sending myself and Little Ralf flying. I heard him snap under my knee as I hit my chin on a chair (ouch!) His head had come clean off as well as the stem snapping at the base.

I'm trying to do the best I can for him so that he may reach his full potential and flower, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Does anyone know if putting him in water is the best plan of action? Also, does the same sun flower plant flower every year?

Mary Mary Quite Contrary....

My brother came home from University again this weekend and he brought me more lovely plants to put on my bedroom window (it's starting to look like a mini greenhouse!)

Chilli Pepper plants

Eeeeeeek! I'm so excited about this one, I've always wanted a Strawberry Plant.

And here's how Little Ralf is doing (sorry about the rubbish photo, there wasn't a lot of light.)

He is humongous! I have no idea where to put him.

Hywel also brought home the most delicious cookies that he and his girlfriend made, I have to get the recipe because they are so damn good! - Although, maybe that's not such a good idea if I want to fit into the summer dresses I've just bought. Dilemma.

Little Ralf Update

Today I re-potted Little Ralf, although he's not so little any more.


I've worked out what he is but I won't let you guys in on it untill it's pretty obvious.

I'm thinking I may spruce up his pot - maybe a project for the imminent bank holiday weekend...?

Look how well Little Ralf is doing even after being traumatised by Jesse the B.M.
