Back to school today, and just found out that some of them are still collapsed and that’s just really sad. Also apparently none of us brought the sticks to support their growth so... We’re gonna bring it tomorrow to actually help them.

Also we have planted a few more seeds of both Balsam and Nasturtium because the distribution currently is terribly unbalanced and some seeds we planted obviously didn’t germinate. We’re hoping this second batch of seeds would succeed... fingers crossed

School opened and we finally got to go back and have a look at our precious. Turns out that they’ve grown a LOT and they’re sort of healthy [thank the lord, thanks jesus, praise heavens] but the thing is there was a lot of small rocks on the surface of the soil, so we had to get them out. Other thing is that though our plants had grown they weren’t exactly strong enough for it...and they basically grew sideways on the soil. So we tried straightening them with some soil support and some stones to keep them in the right track. Some works, but some didn’t budge so we’re going to given them the stick supports when we get back to school on Monday.

Despite the bad news regarding the maggots, our seeds have sprouted! And they’re beautiful!

Excuse me for my terrible photography skills

We have confirmed that the twig-like thing was in fact, faeces of stray cat(s). It had attracted a lot of flies and we suspect, and is also very likely that the flies have laid eggs and therefore produced maggots, which is positively gross and worse to witness. The suspected maggots have actually slithered their way and spread to other parts of the plot. We did clean the faeces out as well as the main lair of flies, though, as shown in pictures 3 & 4. Our teacher advised us to see what happens after the Easter break and decide then whether we should plant the seeds all over again in new soil. Let’s hope the maggots won’t do too much damage...

Okay so there’s this twig-like thing that’s been on our plot for a few days now and it looks like legitimate faeces (judging by its texture and colour) and today when we went to check the plot it was in white, and pretty gross. We suspect the white stuff is hyphae from funghi, since there was a ball of funghi on the plot next to ours before, but we can’t be sure. The thing about the twig-thing is that it was surrounded by flies the previous two days, when the seeds we chose (Basalm and Nasturtium) aren’t supposed to attract pests. Let’s hope after we’ve gotten rid of the suspicious thing everything will be fine...

(btw this is no April Fool’s drill)

Went back to school on a non-school day to check on the seeds and water the plot. Weird thing is, nothing seems to have happened to the seeds and I dared not fiddle with the soil and seeds.

Hope nothing’s gone wrong fingers crossed

Added the soaked-overnight Nasturtium to the plot where we've already sowed the Balsam seeds yesterday.
