Blog Post #8 Q & A with Antonio
Q: What have you learned from this project?
A: I learned that it is harder to garden then i think.
Q: What surprised or amazed you?
A: It amazed me how the others groups plants grew faster than ours.
Q: What made you laugh?
A: What made me laugh was how small our plant was compared to the other plants.
Q: What made you pause and think a little deeper?
A: What made me pause and think a little deeper is the fact that one school garden can change the way everybody eats.
Q: If you were to do this project again what would you do differently?
A: I would choose a different plant and plant it in a different spot in the garden.
Q: How have you benefitted from this project?
A: I learned how to properly plant a plant.
Q: Overall did you enjoy doing this project?
A: Yes
blogpost #8 with Johnny 🌹🌺
He learned that cabbages are hard to grow. what was really amazing was that the plant survived. Nothing really made him laugh it was nice and simple.what really made johnny stop and think was the fact that our plant was not as mature compared to the other plants. If he had a choise to do the story of the seed again he would not chose to do it. But he would still garden he just does not want to do a blog about it. If johnny had to change anything about the project he would change the blogposts to make them simpler and smaller. Some of feelings he felt while doing the project was a sense of accomplishment because he learned how to properly plant a plant and watch it grow. Overall he thought it was a good learning experience even though it was a lot of work,but a lot of fun.
Masons Q and A with Fassil
Q:What have you learned?
A: I have learned that to grow a plant you need to be dedicated.
Q:What surprised and amazed you?

Q:What made you stop and think a little deeper?
A:That we helped nurture a living thing.
Q:Did anything anger you about the project?
A:The build up of blog posts.
Q:What would you have done differently?
A:I would keep up with the blog posts.
Q:Do you feel like you helped the community?
A:I feel if I plant more plants then before then that would help.
blogpost #8 Interview with Mason Mowery
Q: What have you learned?
A: I learned not to plant a smaller plant next to bigger ones.
Q: What surprised or amazed you?
A: I was surprised how long our plants survived the first lab with worms.
Q: What made you laugh?
A: The funniest part of the story of the seed was seeing our plant be the only one without caterpillars.
Q: What made you pause and think a little deeper?
A: The moment when I saw one of my plants die.
Q: What was the best part of the story of the seed?
A: Going outside and experiencing nature was the highlight.
Q: What was the most tedious part of this project?
A: Definitely writing the blogposts!
Q: Do you think you would start a garden when you get older?
A: Yes

blogpost 7 Fassil 🌿🍃
Our plant for the story of the seed is a red express cabbage part of brassica oleracea. The apperence of our plant has thick purple stems and broad green leafs, and about 6 inches tall.
Our plant is probably really similar to its parents, and the offsprings will probobly look the same but little difference in traits. The offspring will probably look the same, but with little different traits. Brassica olceraca allows only the most desirable individuals to breed. So the offsprings have a greater expression of traits than the parents did.
The plants in our garden all look a little bite different because they have different traits, and different living conditions some had more room,others had better soil, and some of the bigger plantes blocked sun light. But that's okay because brassica olercea are suppose to be different to find the best.

Masons blog post # 7 "Land Race"
My group and I are working with cabbage express red in the Brassica oleracea family. They are short in stature with green leafs and they have red stems.Their parent plants most likely had the same dominant traits, but one had a recessive gene that made one of our plants have a lighter complexion. To predict our plants future offspring I could find the same plants online and compare them with our plant to find the dominant traits of their species. To physical get these traits our plants would need to undergo meiosis. In meiosis to haploid cells containing half of the chromosomes needed for their species combine to form a parent cell. The parent cell then divides into four daughter cells.
Chromosomes in the original haploid cells contain the DNA from from the parents which is how our plants genes are passed Trough the generations,but depending on what traits our plants get we cant be for sure that how closely the offspring will look to its parents because of biodiversity. That brings me to why our type of plant looks so different from the rest of our classmates. If all of the plants were the same then it would be easy for a lone fungus to wipe out a whole species. That implies that our plants came foreman original plant that spread to different parts of the world, but had to adapt to the climates so it changed.

The kind of plant I have been Experimenting with for the past few months is the Cabbage Express Red. The cabbage is very large in width and has large leaves with purple stems. I can tell that the cabbage came from similar looking parents. It is easy to predict what the cabbage’s offspring will look like because the cabbage is not mixing different genes with other organisms. the single parent plant will produce a similar looking offspring. They will do so by passing their genetic information through their seeds. Many types of cabbages all came from the same brassica oleracea family but after years and years of reproduction each cabbage has changed gradually.
