Faster than the speed of blog

31 January 2009

You may recall my pathetic little pansy in a can that moped around for a while before finally carking it. Unimpressed by its ineptitude I sprinkled a few cornflower seeds into the can, covered them with the weird growing medium that’s as difficult to get off your fingers as glitter, watered them and went on my merry way.

Yesterday evening, just four days later I noticed that the first seedling was up. Woohoo! I snapped a photo intending to blog it (because I know it’s THRILLING to everybody out there), but then something happened and I didn’t. I don’t remember what. Quite possibly I just got stuck in my bean bag and couldn’t leave the TV.

So this morning I came down ready to tell the world of my triumph and took a look at the can, only to find that suddenly the seedling had friends. Eight friends. I was now officially behind the times as far as seedling reportage went. But now I’m up-to-date. So there.

I’ve not heard the phrase ‘carked it’ for ages.
