week 5

 I've been quite excited to tell people about taking a vegetable gardening class, and the reactions have been a bit of a mixed bag. Those in my closer circle we're mostly excited, as a good deal of my friends have a green thumb and already somewhat have gardens of their own. I've even been able to learn a couple things about propagation for the regrow project from a friend who is growing some romaine lettuce out of a bottle! Others were surprised that such a class exists, which is understandable as vegetable gardening isn't a skill most would expect to get from your general selection of college courses. My germination station has been moving along quite nicely as I show in the picture, I've been watering a make-shift tray that I folded up using aluminum foil, and it has yielded some good results. I'm hoping to use some more advanced irrigation techniques that I learned this week to make some of my larger plants already in the soil start growing as well. Hopefully, I'll be transplanting and growing plenty of fresh basil soon!
