Angela and I spent some time brainstorming about how we could make a presentation about gardening for the class. We decided we would buy some seeds and get them started and then share them with the class.
Our plans changed.
As we drove toward Lowe's, I noticed a "Plant Sale! Fri. 10-6" sign outside of the Agriculture building on Sessoms. In a split-second decision, we pulled in, spent $5.63, and walked out with about 15 tomato plants! They were very cheap because they needed to be repotted - they were too big for the planters they were in.
Talk about saving time for us! We didn't have to wait for them to grow. We just have to wait for them to bloom. Some have already flowered. The guy selling them told us a little about what to look out for and how to take care of the plants. We decided that we should share that information with the class. We're going to bring the plants to school and let students take them home if they want to, or it will be a donation to our community garden.
