Part 4/7:
Initial Observations
After a few weeks, Kevin returns to assess the progress of his experiment under varying weather conditions. He notes that his buried plant (Titanic) has started to flower and fruit but finds its progression odd given the time of year. Meanwhile, the surface-planted tomato (John) appears to be thriving and shows considerable height and flower development, suggesting a potential correlation between planting depth and growth vigor.
The trench-planted tomato (Clown) displays some curled leaves, hinting at possible transplant shock or growth strain due to its unorthodox positioning.
