garden group 5

DATE WORKED: December 5th
GARDEN GROUP!!!
some of the observations i made before we started working were that the white leafs on the basil needed to be pick and the dead sugar cane needed to be picked up. the work that i did individually was that i picked off the dead sugar cane off the ground. we accomplished quite a bit we weeded, watered, picked off the leafs, and took care of the dead sugar cane. next week i think that the weeding could be a little bit more better because we didn't get it all out. since one of the tomatoes are growing we could make some ketchup.

Micah Leval: Garden Group Three, Biology Honors

Micah Leval 
Date worked: December 5, 2012
Garden Group 3, Biology Honors

Initial Observations:
There were many weed surronding the banana trees. Also, there were many dead leaves on the sugar cane plants. The basil plants were full of white basil flowers. All of the plants were in need of watering.

Individual Work:
I pulled off almost all of the flowers on the basil plants. Also, I pulled many of the dead leaves off of the sugar cane. Lastly, I watered all of the plants, including the taro that was growing in the black pots.

Group Work:
We pulled all of the flowers on off the basil plants. W were able to water all of the plants. All of the while flowers growing on the basil plants were pulled out as well as many of the weeds surrounding the banana trees  and other plants.

Needing to Be Done By Next Group:
Th next group should focus mainly on pulling out more weeds. Also, they should make sure that the basil plant is not growing too many white flowers. Lastly, they should contine to water all of the plaints including the taro growing in the pots.

What we should do with the harvest:
We should not harvest anything at this moment.

My initial observations of the compost bins was that the worms had produced a lot of compost and their food supply needed to be restored. I also saw that the compost needed to be collected. I layered wet paper and rotting food onto the bins. From one of the bins I collected compost which will be used in the garden. The group tested soil to determine the nutrients in it and one person helped me with the compost bins. The next group should collect the compost and use it in the garden.

The observations that i saw before our group started working was that there was alot of flowers growing out of the basil. Also that there was alot of weeds near the banana trees. I worked on pulling the flowers off of the basil. I also helped by pulling weeds. As a group we accomplished pulling most of the weeds out, cutting off the flowers off of the basil, and watering the plants, and taro. The next group should continue pulling weeds near the banana trees. The should also water the plants. Right now the only plant that you could harvest is basil, but besides that your good to go.

 The observations that I've made before our group started to work was that there was a lot of small weeds around the banana trees. I noticed that there were baby taros' in the black pots. Individually I took pictures of the garden before & after. I also pulled the weeds. Our group members watered the plants and pulled weeds. Next time when our group works we should continue pulling weeds if there is more and continue to water the plants. With the harvest, we should have throw a salad party (if we have enough harvest) for our biology classes. We should share the harvest among our classmates and have a little healthy snack time during lunch or recess.
