This is week 3. My Uncle Craig came to visit from southern Utah this week, and gave me a cute butterfly garden stick that says "Spring is Here." I decided to put it next to my cabbage. Thanks Uncle Craig, I just love it.
At the beginning of the week, my cabbage was a little limp. The weather this week has been crazy. One minute it's warm and sunny, and the next minute it's cold and rainy, sometimes even snowing. For this reason, my dad bought me a waterwall to put around my cabbage to protect it and keep it warm like a greenhouse. I held the sides of the teal green plastic wall which has pockets that you fill with water to insulate the cabbage, while my mom filled it with warm water. After we filled all the pockets with water, we closed the sides of the waterwall so it looked like a teepee. This is a picture of me and my greenhouse cabbage.
I check on my cabbage each night to water it, and it seems to be looking better. The leaves are not so limp, and more leaves are sprouting in the center. I am excited about this because I was afraid that my cabbage was not going to survive the weather. I am looking forward to the coming week to see what happens next. This is a picture of my cabbage tonight inside the waterwall.
Until next week cabbage fans!
