Weeks planted radishes, turnips, spinach and lettuce and followed each plant’s growth over three months.
“It was really my mom’s garden,” she said. “I took it over for a season.”
She said the weather could have been a variable in her experiment.
Weeks’ display, cut in the shapes of two Men in the Moon, was almost as tall as her. She said her mother helped her cut the display boards.
“I can’t stand straight-edged boards,” said Weeks, who hopes to be a neurosurgeon.
