5.Roots, Greenery, and More Plants

The plants continued to have a rapid growth rate before my eyes all while I just have it some sun, water, and the great outdoors. I looked on the bottom of the pot and noticed that the roots were beginning to reach outside of the pot. From class, this is where I learned that the roots will stop growing until they've reached more soil. Soil, I've some to know is almost the most important part of gardening. It has to have good nutrients for a plant to be able to grow properly and healthy. My mom got new soil a couple years ago, though it wasn't the best, we'd have to make do with what we've got. From some test I think I have sandy loam soil. This means there's sand mixed in, it holds its shape

when compressed but breaks apart easily. It has a gritty like texture.

By now I was more than happy with all the leaves sprouting out. I was beginning to see the appeal to gardening. The joy of caring and tending to something that shows results in just a mere couple of days. Luckily these plants also don't move or bark. I can see it becoming a new hobby of mine during this quarantine.

Curiously the carrot seed plant were sprouting more carrot seeds! I wasn't sure if this was normal or just apart of the growing process. I ended up doing a bit of research to see what this meant and oddly enough I didn't find much about it, thought I did learn carrots were hard to grow because they required strictly all the right conditions to be met. I decided to wait it out and see what would happen and if it wasn't successful then I could try again next time.

Additionally, here is the tomato plant that my family and I transplanted into our garden bed this weekend:

Here are some of the cilantro that my dad threw the seeds because there were too many. Lesson learned, not the way to go since it looks kind of messy.
