After inspecting the twenty small pits, Zhang Yuxi continued, "Bury fifty to eighty percent of the entire plant in the soil. The roots must be completely covered, and you need to pack the soil around them firmly. If there are any leaves on the part that will be buried, prune them off beforehand, or they'll rot in the ground."
They carefully took out the tomato seedlings, inspecting them one by one. As everyone began planting, Zhang Yuxi walked among them with her book, looking like an examiner patrolling an examination hall.
"Si Bao, pack the soil a little tighter. Yes, that's right, but not too hard!"
"Mmm, Er Bao and San Bao are doing a great job. Awesome!"
Once all the seedlings were planted, Zhang Yuxi continued to read from the book.
"Add stakes or cages for the tomatoes to support their vines. You should install the stake or cage right when you plant. If you don't, you must add them within fourteen days at the latest."
The others were rendered speechless.
