Today I awoke to tons of tiny plant sprouts! We have every color, except purple and pink. Yesterday was also a very eventful day. I got new seeds and a new sprouting kit. I am up to about 13 requests-keep them coming! We are super excited to get you your cartons!

Wow. Today was...huge. Cartons of Color got featured on Kens5 and in the Keystone Communique. Currently we have nine requests so far...yay! And today was big. Today the seeds started sprouting, three, but I think that tomorrow there will be a few more!
The link to the Kens5 clip is here: 4th Grader Hopes to Spread Color in a Dark Time None of the plants have sprouted yet (crossing our fingers), but the fast-growing plants sprouted after about three days, and that's tomorrow. Tomorrow I am also going to water the plants very well, because they have been drying out very quickly. (Hopefully that means that they're growing!)
The plants that survive take root very well! I have included a few pictures of the best plants that have taken root. I planted the rest of the plants today, and they got watered with the rain that was pouring down this morning. I also have 5 requests so far, and have gotten into the Keystone Communique! Things are going well!
Here are the pictures of the surviving plants: Today I replanted the slow growing plants! Yay! I watered and placed them inside. Growing seems to be doing well.
Today I did not get the plants planted 😣, but tomorrow I am going to plant the slow growing ones and on Tuesday I am going to plant the fast growing plants. I watered the prototype I am growing though. It has not started sprouting yet.
Today I popped out all the vinegar infested pods, and planted a few plants. I'm going to do some more tomorrow, in the bins. I'm aiming to get this website done by the end of the week, and if you're reading this, I did. Who survived the night? To be honest, not many. I learned that I had to plant the pods below ground, that's where they take root.
First-my backyard is not a very good place to transplant. We don't have much land to plant in, and we have small pots...
Today we transplanted all of the ones that are too big, which is all of them other than the Sunflower Velvet Queen, leaving us with not much of a product. :( We tried to lift the plants up to check on the root, and found that very difficult. The roots had grown into the plastic of the growing set. They are still very droopy. I think they have to be planted in our backyard to grow any further and not die.
Today was a sad day. I started watering the plants with a white spray bottle. I thought it was water, like our other white spray bottle, but it was not. I looked on the side of the bottle, and it said vinegar. I lost the alyssums and California Poppy plants, among various others. Never again.
This is me throwing out the dead plants. The plants were still a little moist. I figured that they could be dryer, so today was another dry out day. All of the plants are really big.
I've noticed that the plants are really moist, and are on the verge of molding. So I didn't water today, in hopes that they would dry out. The plants are really big now, and are leaning towards the sun. So what did I do? I turned them away from the sun and used a device to use stop-motion, set to take pictures every 30 seconds. It captured over 400! Look below to see the video: Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Everything is going well, and most plants are now tiny sprouts above the ground. The pink ones have not sprouted yet though. Everything else is going well. I've been watering every day and the plants are getting lots of sun.
Today we at Cartons of Color bought the seeds we need to supply you with your flowers. I can't believe this is happening. I also pitched my idea to my teacher (yay!) and she liked it. All the plants are growing down in the dirt (we planted them), even if I can't see them yet. We got ProGrow boxes at Target and have them on a sunny spot on our table. Everything seems to be going well. This is a video of me planting: |
