fishbrain goes green

My sunflower 'kong' has grown up to 6ft high and now has a big bud. So unfortunate as it will not grow much more taller, was aiming for like 10ft. Nevertheless, it looks beautiful. Check out the photos below...

But my mammoth is still growing and show no sign of bub yet, basically means it still reaching for the sky.

I am still very crazy about sunflowers, even after my 1st batch came out successful. I manage to keep alive two giant variety, the giant mammoth and 'kong' sunflower.

I know the 'kong' sunflower sounds funny, but its a hybrid breed. You can check out the video at youtube, and also a few other variety, love the green ice:

The seedlings

So unfortunately that my watermelon plant only have one fruit growing. The other babies doesn't see to be able to grow and always dry out and dropped from the vine.

Well, even though it is only one fruit, I think it is a good for me as this is my first time trying to grow watermelon. The fruit has been getting bigger and bigger. The growth is very obvious, each day you look at it, you can see it getting bigger. It is something very unique to watch.

Hopefully the watermelon will grow into the right size for me to harvest and we can have our first homegrown watermelon fruit. That is if my wife has not step on it and crush it yet...

Here we go again...

The first batch was a success one, which I have learn a lot on how to grow it and maximize the potential of its growing process. This time, my second batch, I am determined to make it even better! Simply means, I will try to grow it taller and have bigger flower heads.

I have sow two different variety, which is Giant Mammoth and Red Prado.

The giant mammoth is one of the large variety, and probably on this particular ground patch I will not able to get the maximum potential growth due to the low depth of the soil. While the Red Prado is a shorter cultivar that may grow up to 5ft high but with the flower head ray petals red in color.

Will post again once I see any of the seeds germinated...
