Garden under attack!

My leaves have holes on them! They are on the bean plants, tomato plants, sunflowers, even in the mint! Evidently I'm facing an enemy with a big appetite!



This is the main suspect at the time. I found 5 of them hiding under bean and tomato plants leaves (needless to say, I helped them move on to their next life).


I'll keep on checking on the plants to catch these little buggers before they do too much damage or become bigger. Any advice?

Sunflower progress in pictures

The two sunflowers I planted have been extremely nice. I haven't given them the space they technically need, and they're growing in plastic bottles (which can't be too comfy, can it?). But they are growing fast and look beautiful.


I would reeeaallly like for them to start making the flower. I don't have high hopes... but it would be awesome!

Sunflower progress

A small update on the sunflowers. They got 2 new leaves :) I can't wait for the actual flower to appear!

This is one of the sunflowers growing on a water bottle

Magic seeds

It's been 6 days since I planted the seeds and 3 of them have already come out! I'm so excited!

• Two out of two sunflowers
• One of the beans (I think I must have planted 6)

Ill post the visual evidence at night ;)

Sunflower

I planted these just for kicks... I didn't follow the instructions at all and I don't really expect them to flower... but I hope they do.

The package said it should be planted on April/May. Technically it is still May, but I'm not sure it really counts.

Anyway, I just planted one seed on each of the two halves of a bottle. The package said they needed 50 cm diameter. The bottle might be 10, being really optimistic. But maybe they'll still grow and just turn out mini sunflowers?

Germination is supposed to take 10 to 15 days. I'll report if anything happens.

Oh! By the way, did you know cut sunflowers last particularly well if the stems are dipped into boiling water for a short moment?
