Tower Gardens Photojournal
When Ms.Aziz first introduced this project I was fairly excited about it because I never really planted anything inside before. I thought it was really interesting and cool that we have these resources to these kind of projects. I also liked how she introduced us to different ways of gardening. Tower gardening promotes an environmentally just society because this brings the community together. This also benefits the rest of us as a whole. Our land is being used to grow natural resources. This can lead to a healthier for many people. This natural resources being grown can be sold as well. Young teens, and children are the future of this generation, so having them activate in this can help the world spread more quickly, and also draw more interest. Some factors that may have affected our garden is that one of our plants didn’t grow and that might have been because it was to much water or light.
The impact of humans on natural systems has been significant for decades. However, technology and population growth have dramatically increased both the rate and the scale of human-induced change. Sustainability is the use of Earth's resources to meet our current needs without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The ecological footprint is the land area required to support a person's lifestyle.
Plants | Observations/questions |
Peppers (Nick) | What color will the peppers be? I observed my pepper seeds were really small. I noticed the vermiculite had to fill over half the hole and I wonder why? |
Marketmore Cucumber (Imani) | How long will it take for the cucumbers to sprout? My seed were oval like. I also observed that the cucumber seeds were relatively smaller than I expected them to be. The lettuce is currently growing but I don’t see any cucumbers sprouting My lettuce is currently still sprouting and getting bigger but i still don’t see any cucumbers I wonder when the cucumbers will start to grow? The ph balance in our water has dropped |
Gourmet Lettuce (Jada) | Why are gourmet lettuce seeds so small? I had to fill my hole differently than everyone else’s because my seeds were smaller. The pH balance of the water is very high. The lettuce is the only plant that’s growing somewhat. The tomatoes and the peppers haven’t started to sprout yet. The cucumbers started to grow as well as the tomatoes. The lettuce has grown a lot and so has the cucumbers and tomatoes. The peppers haven’t grown at all. |
Beefsteak Tomato (Moesha) | 1/10/17 How will these large tomatoes grow in a small indoor environment? I realized the tomato seeds were small compared to the actual size of the tomato when it grows. Each of my group members and I had to plant two seeds each except for Jada and her gourmet lettuce. 1/13/17 The lettuce is the only plant currently sprouting. When will the tomatoes sprout? 1/17/17 The lettuce has sprouted and so did the cucumbers. Unfortunately, the tomatoes and peppers haven’t sprouted. When will the peppers and tomatoes sprout? 1/24/17 The pH balance of the water went from 7.0 to 6.5. The cucumbers are growing the fastest. The peppers have still not grown and I wonder why? I hope my tomato plant doesn't get intertwined with the lettuce. |
