Today, I planted my seed...tomato seed, that is. I placed it on my window sill to ensure that it will receive the most optimal sunlight.
February 17, 2011
Today, I watered my tomato plant for the first time. I noticed that the soil was rather dry, so I definitely think it was thirsty for some water. I haven't noticed any sprouting yet...I'm beginning to get anxious :)
February 19, 2011
I watered my tomato plant for the second time today. Still no signs of germination or growth...but it did look like the soil was cracking at the surface...I don't know if that means anything.
February 20, 2011
I checked on my plant this morning and I noticed that the soil was really dry. I watered it yesterday, so I'm curious as to why the soil is drying out so fast. I wonder if my plant is, perhaps, getting too much sunlight and is consequently drying out. I can't really think of an easy solution to this problem. I'm considering changing the location from the window sill......what to do, what to do. Hmph. :/

Today, I watered my plant for the third time. I noticed that my seed had somehow found its way to the top of the soil...I didn't know if this was a good thing, so I decided to push the seed down into the soil...after I did this, I thought maybe that wasn't the best idea, but whatever. What's done is done.
February 22, 2011
Well, as it turns out, pushing the seed down into the soil wasn't such a bad idea, because today, I saw the first sprout of my seed! Yay! :)

I've accidentally been neglecting my poor tomato plant. This is the first time it's drank some water in 3 days! But, it's okay, because 'ole Jefferson is movin' on up...to the east side! The plant is really starting to grow up...He's growing up so fast...right before my very eyes!
February 25, 2011
I'm leaving for the weekend, so I decided to give Jefferson some water and pray it lasts until Sunday.
February 27, 2011
Lo and behold, Jefferson is still standing strong and tall...like any man should! "I could not be more proud of you," I said to my baby, as I gave him some more water to drink.
March 1, 2011
Here we go! More water and more growing! This whole parenthood thing ain't so bad after all!
March 4, 2011
Today, I'm dropping Jefferson off with the babysitter. I'll be gone for a whole week. I gave him some water and packed his bags and he is ready to go. I sure am going to miss the little fella. "See you in a week, Jefferson!" I sure hope that babysitter takes care of my boy ;)
March 15, 2011
Today, I picked my little boy up from the babysitter (I can't really call him little anymore, though). My, my, my! Has he grown! The babysitter definitely took good care of him. I decided to give Jefferson a little rest, so I let him sleep for a while...aka, his soil remained pretty moist for quite some time, so I let him go without water, since he clearly didn't need any.
March 20, 2011
I gave Jefferson some water today. This was the first time in 5 days and he sure drank it right up.
March 22, 2011
I'm noticing more and more leaves appearing on Jefferson's stem. He's really becoming a man and growing into himself...I'm gonna have to get him some new clothes soon! I also gave him some water--he was rather dry today, but this time he didn't drink it. The water just sort of rested above the soil and didn't really seep in. I didn't know what to do, so I just left it until the soil soaked it up.
March 25, 2011
Finally, Jefferson drank all the water from the other day, but the soil was still moist, so I decided not to give him anything for a while.
March 28, 2011
Jefferson is still sprouting up, but at a much slower pace now...I hope everything is okay. I gave him more water today, hoping that will help.
March 31, 2011
I think Jefferson is sick. I wish there were a doctor I could take him to...
April 3, 2011
Jefferson finally seemed to be thirsty, so I gave him some water today. I hope he perks up soon. He seems so down. I had to lean him up against the blinds of the window...he kept falling over :(
April 5, 2011
Jefferson seems to be in brighter spirits today. He's peppy and has certainly sprouted up. I gave him more water and decided to keep an eye on him for a while.
April 9, 2011
I've been a bad parent lately :( I have not been keeping up with my poor boy and you can tell. He's looking more and more sickly by the second! I don't know what to do. I gave him water and it just stood above the soil on the surface. He didn't drink any of it!
April 13, 2011
Welp, I think Jefferson is no more! :( The doctors are pulling the plug. I can't believe this is happening! The funeral shall be tomorrow.
April 14, 2011
Today, Jefferson went to plant heaven (aka the trash can). I'll surely miss him!
