My final hope is dashed... None of the fruits made it to maturity and now the plant is no longer flowering...

Premature passion
One of my passion fruits fell off prematurely. I performed an autopsy (hah!) and there were no seeds inside. Sigh so sad...

My passion flower has been fruiting, but I dont think it's doing so well. The fruits are starting to wilt but they are not falling off so i don't think they are ripe yet.
So I got them the Gro-Plus for flowers (supposedly for the potassium) as well as Horti Seaweed plant growth stimulant. Just applied both just now to my passion plant and my mom's mint. Hoping to see new flowers soon :)

Planted another batch of chive seeds. Hope I won't be disappointed again.
This week is orientation week. I'd thought that having no lessons would mean I would have more time to do my stuff, but turns out that I was wrong. I was assigned to an og, which was kind of unexpected. Hmm, busy week ahead, but hope it would be fun!

My sunflower seedlings have all died. I really don't know what went wrong. One day they were perfectly fine, sprouting leaves; the next day they were drooping and turning brown.
I just went and got myself another two packet of seeds from fairprice. Hopefully these will fare better.

Day 11:
Ok so I accept that the other two seeds are just not going to germinate. The other seedlings are doing pretty ok. They are starting to grow their true leaves, but crowding is an issue and I'm afraid transplanting might kill them. :(

Ok, so as expected that seedling didn't make it. Haiz. I thought it might be the transport that killed it, but the remaining seedlings at my uncle's house died too. Hmm... going to try growing from seeds myself. Bought a packet of seeds from NTUC and a 10-inch pot from Giant. But I'm worried that the pot might be too small, cos I read that sunflower roots can grow to 4 feet below the soil surface (!!). I don't know what species that author is referring to though...
