The life of my seed

Day one
Our seeds were handed out in the middle of class. I planted mine rougly one inch from the surface of the soil and covered it tightly. Later on I watered it with a little more than a tablespoon of water.

Day two
I realized that the seed would rot if I allowed the water to stagnate at the bottom of the cup. I poked several holes in the bottom of the cup so the excess water could drain.

Day three
The cup got some sun. I didn't do much to it.

Day four
Same as day three.

Day five
I added a little water to the cup. Haven't seen any real signs of life. I am almost tempted to break the soil just to see if the seed has begun rooting at this point.

Day six
My seed and I are having relationship issues. This whole "growing" thing doesn't seem to be happening as predicted.

Day seven
I wrote this blog about my love/hate relationship with my sunflower.

Day eight
Nothing special... again. I think it's dead.

Day nine
The soil is too dry. Maybe I poked too many holes in the cup...?
