Growing Your Own Food

  As you know, in my biology class, we have been working on 20 time projects. For my 20 time project, I decided to grow a "vegetable garden." During the past weeks, I have faced many different setbacks. I first had to choose what types of plants I was going to grow. I decided to plant carrots and radishes. I had to choose those, for I have less time than I thought I had to grow these vegetable and make them bare vegetable. Another setback, I have faced, was that because of this weather, I have not been able to plant the seeds until about a week ago. This had to be done because of the wet weather and also the fact that it was not spring yet and that there was still a bit of frost in the mornings. If I had grown them then, they would have most likely died. Basically, so far, I have planted the seeds in pots in different places facing different directions. The first is faced south, which will give it the most sunshine, and I placed the other pot facing west. I do expect that the plants facing south will grow faster and maybe, hopefully, larger. In conclusion, I have made quite a lot of progress since the last blog post, even though I was planning to be more ahead, but the climate made it impossible.
