Poor little sucker, how will it learn? When it is climbing, which way to turn?

I see. It seems that a side effect of putting plants on a balcony is that they grow away from the building and towards the sun. Can't blame 'em, really.

So, all the seedlings in West Window Box are now growing at an angle of approximately 45°. It occurs to me that I could turn the window box round every few days, thus on average they will grow approximately upright and make best use of their space. Or maybe they'll just wear themselves out leaning backwards and forwards.

Edit Can't edit polls. The above should, of course, say "leaning". Not "leavening". Seedlings make terrible bread.

I just like the idea of messing with their sense of where the sun is :D

One of my favourite lesser-known tourist attractions in London is the tree in the reception of Coutt's bank on the Strand. It grows through the floor and, if you watch very carefully, you can see that underneath the floor is a giant rotating mechanism which makes the tree turn very slowly over the course of the day.

That must be one confused tree :)
