Day 4: A Sad, Sad Day

Day 4: A Sad, Sad Day

We had an unfortunate loss in the plot today. We lost the middle tomato plant of the three due to the inhumane smothering of it by tomato plant 1. It was a sad day and the plant will be missed.

On a positive note, the rest of the plants had great progress. The three species of beans, 2 of the Roma tomatoes, Black Beauty Eggplant and Georgia Collared greens all had good growth progress. My plot is truly becoming a bountiful one.

Today in vegetable gardening we diversified our plots even further. We planted sunflowers in the last section of our plots. We planted them 18 inches apart to insure the correct nutrient intake for each plant. I will keep you updated on the progress of these plants in the future.

The sunflower seedlings as planted are seen below:

 

After that, we watered our plants and then sprayed them with a pesticide and herbicide to assure no pests and weeds get on our crops. We learned today that weeds are defined as anything that gets in the way of human crop growing.

Well, that's about all the time I have today.

Stay Golden,
Mitch
