Danilo planted onions

My plant is good if you knew that is my first time to plant something. My plant looks like this. I put onions under the ground and the onions grew 5 inches in 1 week. They are green. They smell normal,like onions. But my other onions that I planted from seed are not successful like the first ones. Sqirrels ate and destroyed them. That was my mistake because I schould have put some fluid that protect them from animals.

Mirka - planted leeks and rosemary

I planted two plants - rosemary and leeks. I'm happy because  my plants are good. The leeks are tall, fat and soft. In one week they grew 4 inches. The rosemary grew, too. After one week rosemary grew 5 inches, Good smell, soft and fat. My plants have small and thin leaves. It's my first time when I planted something.

The Tomatoes

The tomatoes plant is green. Its shape is long and it is hanging down. This plant has 14 tomatoes, but the tomatoes are not ready because their color is green. The tomatoes are ready when the color is red. The texture of the tomatoes is smooth. The size of the plant is very big, the texture of the leaves is rough, the smell is sour.

Garden of the Literacy Council

This week was my turn to water the garden. I saw the tomatoes are too big.  One plant has 8 tomatoes and the other has only 5 tomatoes.  I saw 2 tomatoes on the ground, I think they are ready for cooking.  Also, I saw the onion has flowers and the cauliflower had a hole.  The cilantro needed cutting but I forgot the scissors.  Also, I saw the eggplant has beautiful flowers.  I'm worried because I think the tomatoes needed more space.  I feel so happy because all the students of the Literacy Council pass by to see the garden. -Ana Dorado
