Day 11

OOOOHHHHH NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!
The plants were outside this am and then my son let the dog out. They were sitting on a tote on the porch.
This is Nala, evidently she likes to eat plants. Loofah plants that is. 

This is the result of the the teeth on my baby girl.






As you can see she had to eat the biggest sprouts. Most of the plants have teeth marks in them. I have replanted most of the ones that weren't messed up too bad back into the soil. I am hoping that i can save them.

The next day after fixing and replanting them i have decided to replant them again in a bigger pot with Miracle Grow potting soil. Miracle Grow is the only soil that i use for all my plants. It works well and will continue to feed the plants for up to 6 months.
I used my finger to push the plant up through the bottom hole as not to ruin the roots of the plant. 

 I filled the pots with soil and packed it down.
 I placed the plant and roots in the middle of the pot. Held it up with one hand and packed the soil in around it. I made sure to secure the roots well and cover them completely with soil. I then watered them and place them on a shelf out of reach of the dog this time. Hopefully she won't learn to climb anytime soon...lol

This is the finished plant.



These are the four plants that i was able to save. The roots are still white and healthy. If you look at the one in the top left corner, it doesn't have any leaves at all.
 I hope this works. I will be glad with only four plants left. I have bought my lattice and stakes and just waiting for them to get a little bigger. I am getting a little impatient now.

Will keep you update on their growth. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Even if it isn't related to the stage that my plants are in now.

byebye and keep growing.
