weren’t dried.

 MY EXPERIENCE
I had never actually tried gardening. After a lot of trial and error I
was finally able to grow and keep my plant alive for over two
months. So that's a big deal. Overall it was very exciting to see the
whole process of a plant growing but also disheartening to see them
die. In the end only the fittest survive
