Well, it's been about a month. And now he looks like this:
Um. He's a grower.
He's almost taller than me at this point. He's dwarfing the recently trimmed basil. (Which are not as FULL looking as I want them to be. Maybe because their roots are too close together, like in a little cluster from when they were in the tiny pots from the wedding? And now I'm afraid to break them apart for fear of damaging them. Thoughts? My gardener friends?) Regardless we definately are going to have to get taller ceilings. Or relocate him to a garden in CT where we might be able to visit him regularly. Liz? How would Khal & Maya like a sunflower? It's kinda verging on Little Shop of Horrors, but without the blood and it trying to eat us. So far. Like James & the Giant Peach. Kate and the Ginormous Sunflower. Geoff & Kate and their Ridiculously Fast Growing Plant That Belongs in The Actual Ground, Not a Teeny Fire Escape Windowsill Garden.

Wow! That's amazing! We should have planted a sunflower on the same day and had a sunflower growing competition! Maybe you can get a big pot and put it in a corner next to a picture of sunflowers in Italy. (I think I read somewhere on your blog or in an e-mail that you saw sunflowers around Florence. We did too, and have photos of them. They were so pretty)! If the large pot doesn't work, then maybe you can give it to someone who has room. You two are such good indoor gardeners!
