A Report On Early Spring Planting

“Blackberries in June” by Ron Rash, is about a couple, Matt and Jamie, who have a very pessimistic family, especially when it comes to the young couples accomplishments in life. What makes Jamie and Matt different from the other family members? They have a lot of determination, motivation, discipline, and are willing to make sacrifices necessary to get where they want to be in life. Throughout the story, the author gives a variety of examples of just how different these two characters are in particular. The three qualities that are the most different from the rest of the family are unlike them they are goal oriented, hard working, and make the necessary sacrifices.

In Ron Rash’s “Blackberries in June,” it was easy to be immediately drawn into the story. People can relate to the life of Matt and Jamie. Their life of being married after high school and having a house of their own is a plan many people work to strive towards when in love after high school. Their life seems almost perfect or typical throughout the story. A wonderful and happy marriage with the wholesome relations with the other family members, and some tenseness between an in-law shows how Matt and Jamie’s lives are what seems to be, normal. When Charlton (Jamie’s brother) has an accident and loses his leg, Matt is determined to still follow their dreams and plans

When planting a seed, many factors allow the seed to grow and become a plant. To sprout from the ground, and to survive, seeds need water, air, and a certain temperature. Seeds can get water, oxygen, and sun by being placed at the proper planting depth. Planting depth is the depth at which a seed is placed in the soil. If a seed is exposed to these important needs, it goes through a process called germination. According to the Wise Geek article, “What is Germination?”, “Germination is a process in which a seed or spore awakens from dormancy and starts to sprout.” (“What is Germination?”).

This report presents an overview to: meiosis, chromosomes, traits, genotypes, and phenotypes displayed in the evolution of fast plants. Studying how the genetic information can be passed along one generation to the following. Also, learning various techniques to determine the possible genotypes of the four Wisconsin Fast Plants provided by analyzing the offspring and observing the phenotypic variation within them. Predicting that the parent plant was heterozygous with the first generation also displaying heterogeneous characteristics of non- purple stem/ Green leaves. And discovering that the null hypothesis was rejected for the chi-square being less than 5% meaning the observed phenotypes were due by chance.

Veggies, fruits, flowers oh my! Gardens have all of these wonderful, healthy, goodness! Let’s start out with the supplies we need for a delicious garden! For the soil you should buy Miracle Grow if you want your plants to stay healthy and grow large. Fruits, vegetable, and flowers already in plastic pots are a faster and easier way to grow a garden. Also, a pot with a hole in it (for the water to drain in) or the soil outside works best for a place to grow the garden. Another thing is a plastic plate to put under the pot so the water doesn’t get everywhere. The final supplies needed are a watering pot and some water.

This experiment, which was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism's traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in cruciferous plants. This plant aids scientist in the exploration of environmental effects on population due to the speed to which is matures and reproduces. Artificial selection was stimulated by the selection against plants with few hairs(trichomes). Trichomes create a wider variation which means it is polygenic. The plants that had only a few trichomes were

Stage six happens on days nine through thirteen. This is the stage when Fast Plants will begin to develop the buds for flowers on its tip, or shoot meristem. Stage seven is on days fourteen through seventeen, and in this time the Wisconsin Fast Plants’ flowers will bloom, and pollination may occur.

Located between the Academic building and Bolton Hall on the campus of Texas A&M University there can be found the species Quercus Virginiana. This live tree known to the university as the century tree is located among central campus much like the species of Quercus Virginiana which can be found throughout central Texas. Located on page 112 can be found a map depicting Texas climate and correlation of vegetated live oak in particular climatic zones.

When summertime comes, nobody wants to see a garden full of wilted flowering plants that just can’t take the heat. If you want to make sure you still have a thriving garden when the temperatures climb up, check this list of heat- and drought-tolerant plants.

Discussion: To my surprise, I was correct in my hypothesis. I figured bean seeds needed sunlight to germinate quickly, so outside in the warm temperature with the sunlight was the obvious choice. I then figured no sunlight would take the longest so I put the outside with no sunlight last. That left me with inside sunlight to be in the middle, and I was correct. If I were to do this experiment again I would test more factors, such as different locations, and wait longer to see more accurate results.

The California Floristic Province, is the only hot-spot that occurs largely in the United States; it is home to exceptionally high plant diversity and varieties of habitat. Stretching along the west coast starting in southwestern Oregon, it covers 70% of the State of California, and into northwestern Baja California, Mexico.

Happy Tuesday! Seedlings 2 began their day outside on the playground. We explored so many environmental objects and we moved in response to music and rhythm as we played with musical instruments with Ms. Clara. When we returned to our classroom, we explored floating green objects in our Sensory tub. Later we exercised our gross motor skills as we practice walking with our walker. I do hope you enjoy another fabulous day with Seedlings

Our class had to develop an experiment on our own that did not affect the pH of the water or the light, my group then came up with how nitrogen based plant food affected Wisconsin Fast Plants. These plants were developed at the University of Wisconsin by the professor Paul H. Williams. These plants are great for classroom environments because they grow quite fast. They were originally a type of weed from the family Brassica found in Nepal, India. Williams was trying to develop a type of disease-resistant plant. He thought if he crossed Brassica plants with cabbages and such he could get a disease-resistant plant that grew fast. He did just that, these plants will complete their entire life cycle within 40 days. Classrooms are the

Gardening is a beneficial aspect of anyone’s day to day life. It’s something that is enjoyable for the elderly, young children, single people, and married couples. Gardening is also a way to bring the family together. Whether the garden is for aesthetic or utilitarian purposes, the hard work put into the garden is worthwhile. Gardens can provide financial relief, a healthier diet, and a healthier lifestyle. Gardening could also be a great life lesson that is carried and passed on through generations.

The following report will provide information on the scheduling of garden tool production for the upcoming month at Spring Garden Tools. Exhibit 1 provides information regarding Lindo input and output based on a model that is designed to minimize the cost from the total production and subcontracting of garden tools, while satisfying the demand for each type of garden tool. All matters discussed in this report are based on this information. Using the cost minimization model in Exhibit 1 along with the constraints that were provided, the total minimum cost was found to be $85,472.60.
