Day 6: Called on Account of Rain

Today, upon driving my car to class because it was raining, I learned something very interesting after I parked. Immediately after I pulled in to my spot, another car pulls up next to me that put mine to shame; a fresh, clean new 2015, gray mustang. I was rather surprised to see none other than Carlos, my teacher, step out of the car and approach me with a smile. We then talked about how fresh his car was then we headed inside to class to get down to business.

We then ran over some practice problems involving fertilizer and water irrigation application in order to determine the quantities of each that needed to be applied. I was rather surprised that a lot of the class did not understand the concepts at hand, but I suppose that was why we were reviewing it again.

After the class seemed to have a grasp on the two concepts, we saw something interesting; the camera above the white board, which I am not sure anyone even noticed before, started moving creepily back and forth. Someone, somewhere was watching us learn about the intricacies of vegetable gardening and it, for whatever reason, was unsettling. Nevertheless, it was probably just another teacher or TA watching, but who knows? Not me, but I digress.

Beyond that creepy incident, we then learned about some of the basic planting specifications and biologic characteristics of lettuce, cabbage and broccoli. I did not know that broccoli and cabbage were just mutated forms of each other and I found this rather interesting that they descended from the exact same plant. We discussed these two in depth and learned some very useful information about the three aforementioned crops.

As I did not get to check the progress of my plot due to the unfortunate circumstances of it raining all day, I will update my progress again next week. I hope the weeks absence of me not being able to do basic maintenance and nutritional upkeep doesn't jeopardize the bountifulness that is my plot.

Well that's about all the time I have for today once again.

As always, Stay Golden,
Mitch
