For the Propagation group, Nicole, Roberto, Daniel and I will continue to organize our seasonal seeds. We are planting lettuce, cauliflower, pumpkins, cabbage, etc., we plant the seeds at the depth of an inch to an inch and one half in order to have enough soil to cover the seeds. The seeds will be placed into small trays to protect the baby plants from bugs and birds, to allow them time to grow healthy and strong and allowing more control over the soil conditions such as sufficient moisture. Seeds usually start to germinate from one week to two weeks, the beginning of the plant pushes through the soil and towards the sun to get sun's energy. We need to water the plants daily and we will experiment with spaces of planting seeds and need to make a compost to enrich our soil in order to have healthy plants.
After an inch or two inches of growth, we will transplant it into the ground, which is by taking the plants out of pots and spread the roots out before we transplant them into our class garden bed. The root plants such as carrots, beans, radishes, etc. can be planted directly into the ground to let the roots sprout out in the soil.
For our presentation, we will teach the class about the propagation procedure of how to plant seeds, water properly,transplant, etc.
When are you planning to plant the seeds and where? What plants are we going to be planting?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to planting seeds.
Why do the need to be planted in trays first instead of just straight into the ground?
ReplyDeleteAre these plants that will grow fast?
What is your group's experiment going to be?
Beautiful picture! Good initial detail...want you to go deeper. I would like you to consider what plants do well being planted directly into the ground and why...how do you know how deep to plant seeds, what else effects the germination of seeds...these types of questions.
