Fixing My Transplants

The first person I told about my gardening class was my mother. After moving to New York, she has started growing a number of plants (mostly peppers and tomatoes) outside their rented apartment. She expressed interest in my class and hoped that I would be able to share some helpful tips with her.

Everybody else that I told about my class thought that it sounded like fun, especially when I told them that it focused a lot more on getting your hands dirty, and less assignments on platforms such as Canvas. Most of my classes are online because of my college, this class gave me an opportunity to go outside and get my hands dirty, while still growing some awesome produce I could use and share with friends.

My tomato plant was struggling when I arrived at class. It was being blown over by the wind, and was covered in dirt! I promptly staked it and I hope that next week, after receiving support, it will be much healthier. Sadly, It looks like most of my onions did not survive, I only saw a single recognizable plant. I haven't completely given up hope, but if I do not see a seedling within the next week, I will likely reuse the soil for a different plant.
