Shada, Kylie, and Leslie made cages for protection for the plants. They used bamboo sticks and chicken wires to do so. This was done so birds wouldn't pick on the plants. They said it fun working with classmates and that it was good that they got to stand up because they've been sitting all day. They said it was annoying that their hands got cold and that it was hard to bend the wires. Jasper, Liam, and Manuel transplanted seedlings from 6 packs to 4 inch pots, they used dirt, pots, and their hands. They did this because the seedlings were getting rootbound in the 6 packs and needed more room to grow out their roots. They said it was pretty easy, that they met new people, that the transplanting process was interesting, and that because it was simple, they could have interesting conversations as well, which they did. However they said planting the seedlings at the proper depth for them to thrive was challenging and that they had to redo a few at some point. They also had to be very careful not to damage the seedlings and their roots.
