Time in: 10am
Time out: 11:35am
It's that time again to get ready for the spring and summer seasons. Today, I helped plant a large variety of tomatoes, from cherry orange ones to bi-color beefsteaks, all in flats that are labeled, dated and sent to the hothouse to germinate and sprout.
One interesting thing I didn't know about tomato seed coats: at least most of those I planted are hairy (or pubescent). This increases its surface to volume ratio for water imbibition and uptake.
Personally, I think tomato seeds are one of the most beautiful seeds I've ever seen!
On another note, I was offered an internship position at the Ranch! I will start this new position in a couple weeks. I will be working 2 full days a week until November (date is approximate). This will be a great and valuable experience, one that I'm very honored to have and very excited about.
More details to come! ...
