God exclaimed, 'What a day! Are you tired?'
I was really exhausted today as I went to buy soil, fertilizer, mini pots for the transplant of cherry tomato seedlings. Then spent 4.5 hrs doing the transplant... made 37 new pots!
God continued to speak,
'Today I want to talk about transplant.
Transplant, by the word itself simply means transferring the plant.
The plant undergoes a transition process from one place to another.
Why does a plant need to be transplanted?
The plant grows to maturity and not enough space
Unsuitable environment for growth
Suffering sickness and diseases
In all cases, transplant involves a change in medium, e.g. size and composition, and a change in stage.
The most common change in stage is the change in the growth stage.
When seedlings become taller and bigger, the nutrients and space required become different from that in seed germination.
When seedlings become ready to be transplanted, this also symbolizes they step into the next phase of growth.
However, when the plant is being transplanted to a new place and new medium, the plant needs to adapt all over again and this process takes time.
The old has gone and the new has come.
After the transition, the plant adapts to the new environment and continues to grow in maturity.
As the Gardener, He observed the growth of each plant closely and do the transplant at different times for each plant. Do not compare. No one is more superior. No one is more inferior. They are just having different growth rates. All are work-in-progress.'
This is Day 20.
