This day began my official research assistant role of the Youth Gardening Project. Today's location was at the Tuskegee University greenhouse. I transported the smaller tomato plants into the children boxes; therefore, I had to weed out the boxes before planting the tomatoes. After completing some of the children boxes, I helped the other research assistants--Aminat Babalola, Sarethia Grant, Ashton Wells--pot the white seed trays which we will later be seeded with cantaloupe, flowers, okra, and radish. We finished filling the remaining black medium-sized pots with the larger tomato plants.
