First Week in the garden.
As we began this project, I assumed it was all just about putting a seed in dirt, water it and watch it grow. But that wasn't the case. Before we planted, we watched videos and discussed some habits which lead into healthy eating. I saw the unhealthiness that McDonald's food offered. Now, I will think twice if I consume fast food. We even discovered that the "soil" we use, isn't really soil, it's potting mix. We then began to plant and it seemed easy but we had to follow steps before we grow. We had to mix dolomite and fertilize the potting mix. Then we would top it off with coconut fiber or more potting mix and then cover it with a "shower cap" which keeps in moisture, keep out weeds and keep in heat.. Then the plants begin to grow. We began with indeterminate and determinate growth tomato plants. The difference of determinate and indeterminate growth is that a determinate growth plant has an approximate growth rather than the indeterminate whom doesn't have a predicted growth.
