Week 3 - Plants + Plant Anatomy Presentation

 The seeds are no longer just seeds! All the seeds have sprouted which is great to see. They will be left in the greenhouse until next week.

 


Key takeaways of the presentation on Plant Anatomy & Plant Families:

Shoot = Above ground growth

Root = below ground growth

Vegetative organs = roots, stems, leaves

Reproductive organs = flowers, fruits, seeds

Easily & quickly produced = leaves, stems

May take longer = roots

Week 13 - Cucumber & Bean harvest + Protected Ag Presentation

I started off the day by harvesting cucumbers and beans from the garden. They did really well and look perfect! Now for the bad news, the cucumber plants' leaves are still slowly dying from whatever disease they got. But the cucumbers are still growing.    Key takeaways from the Protected Ag presentation: Lack of bacterial contamination by herbivores = greater food safety Types of hydroponic systems = Nutrient film technique, deep water culture, wick system, ebb and flow, drip system, aeroponics Pros of hydroponics = up to 90% less water used, no chemicals, consumers get it fresher, reduces damage/spoilage/waste due to not having to be transported as far, more can be grown quickly Cons of hydroponics = time consuming, requires expertise, requires 24/7 on site supervision/maintenance, needs constant electricity
