Its been three days already and the plants are still keep me stand on my toes... i am so scared .. these lil plants are soo much like babies that have been just brought out of incubator.
On the whole the farm looked healthy but there have been some casualities.. very very few .. among the 25000 plants .. u can see the plants pics that i posted below... except for such plants here and there, everything else was green and averagely happy.... since the root system hasn't been well developed yet, the plants are drooping and wilting as soon as the jiffy(black cup in which they are staying) is drying up. The wetting of the beds doesnt seem to give enough water to them yet !! so i had to make double sure that the plants got water today and by the end of the day .. i was pretty happy .. what looked wilted in the morning after a whole day of working up .. could make them stand firm and look fresh again ..
i was soo happy to see new leaves that are just emerging .. it cud just be the normal ageing of the plant but then what it also means is that the plants are getting used to the beds here and are getting acclimatised.
It takes about another 10-14days to get a good root and then i can feel comfortable.
For now .. all is good :)
