Seamus at 6 weeks old

I don't often blog about my plants but this boy is a special one.
On 13th March, I visited the "Grow Your Own Luck" stall at Mischief La Bas' Market of Optimism in Dumfries. I was permitted to select a little plant pot, some compost, and to then plant my own choice of various lucky bean and seeds therein. I was then given a little lucky magic dust (glitter!) to sprinkle on top. I took my little pot of luck home, put it on the windowsill and watered to encourage the luck to grow.
Three weeks later, at Easter, I noticed a tiny little green shoot was coming up. We decided to call him Seamus. He's now a whopping 17 cm tall, and I have recently discovered, is destined to become a beautiful sunflower. I'll try and blog his progress regularly.
