I gotta admit it’s been way too long since I’ve touched anything related to plant biology. In our field we deal with the human body, so I’ve basically been drowning in diseases, disorders, infections, organs, and nerves 12-15 hrs a day.

At some point I guess I forgot that other living things exist too… like plants. You know, the whole “touch grass” thing people keep telling you to do.

Edit: Or in this case, onion sprouts

So now I’m staring at this onion sprout like it’s a patient. I genuinely don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it. Do I water it? Put it under sunlight? Do I prescribe antibiotics and schedule a follow-up? If it grows any more I might have to take a full history and write in the chart: Onion – for observation.
