Tree Grafting

The start to the week was stressful and fast paced as we rushed to finish the greenhouse. It was a success and we now have plants stored in the greenhouse. After things slowed down Kody and I began searching for a way to graft trees and we are currently grafting a wild blackberry bush. There will be more to come next week.

Plastic for the green house
So my tomatoes has taken a big turn. Before I went on our school trip my plants were fine and when I came back they were destroyed. I found moss in mine so I had to empty out all the containers of tomatoes and put transplant them all of them into new containers. Which took the whole class period. I had to take them out the soil, take off the bad dirt and loosen the roots. Then I put dirt in the bigger pots and placed the plants in them. The next day I watered all of them but they took 30minutes so I only got to water six and the others the next day. The next day I decided to water my lettuce and they are growing really well EXCEPT they were too close together. Yesterday I transplanted the lettuce so that theres 4 plants in a square. I had 2 squares and now I have 6 squares and I had to throw a lot of plants out. But I did give some to my teacher. So today we were going to plant tomato seeds but instead we were told to go outside and help with the greenhouse and I also watered my plants.
