Disaster - but i think its fixed now?!

Last week I got so carried away with it being sunny (for a change) that I forgot to water my sunflowers!!
6 days went by and I looked over to see 2 dry sticks with yellow crinkled leaves. Oh oh!

A mad dash to the kitchen sink with the measuring jug and 2 litres of water each I could only hope they would recover from this drought.

They got 2 litres a day for 5 days and little prune with the kitchen scissors and things are looking good. Green stalks, green leaves, tall, happy and swaying in the little breeze we have.
They also have a new home as motorbike number 4 has moved in to their patch.

I am hoping to re-pot soon. Slighty worried I am being over adventurous in this green fingered malark. Don't know if I can revive them for a 2nd time round!!
