Method

Okay, this is my method that we need for the next blog marking.

Materials and Equipment:
~ Two styrofoam boxes - approximately the same size: 
~ One smaller pot (size doesn't matter, but it has to be large enough to fit a few extra sunflowers)
~ Sunflower seeds
~ Carrots (the ones I used were already growing in their own potting mix; ready-to-plant)
~ Cauliflower seeds
~ One sack of potting mix
~ At least one sweet potato that is already growing tubers - you will need at least 8 tubers
~ Camera
~ Labels


Method:
1. Cut eight tubers off the sweet potato, leaving a small area of potato skin around the tuber. 
2. Label one of the styrofoam boxes: "Box 1" and the other: "Box 2".
3. Fill the two styrofoam boxes and the smaller pot with potting mix. 
4. Plant one potato tuber in the centre of Box 1.
5. Plant the rest of the tubers in Box 2, making sure that they are evenly spaced away from each other.
6. Plant three sunflowers in Box 1 - two in the left-most corners of the Box, and one just beneath the sweet potato tuber.
7. Plant the carrots in Box 1 - above the sweet potato tuber.
8. Plant three cauliflowers in Box 1 - two in the right-most corners of the Box, and one to the right of the sweet potato tuber.
9. Plant a few extra sunflowers, cauliflowers and carrots in the remaining small pot - as many as you can fit. 
10. Place the Boxes and the small pot in a place where they will receive equal sunlight.
11. Take a photo of each Box and the smaller pot.
12. Make observations and take photos of each Box and the smaller pot every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two and a half months.
13. Record your observations in the Results section.
14. Pack up any equipment - extra plant seeds, camera, labels, etc.


So there we go! :)


Yes, I am aware that I still don't have any cauliflowers. =="
I'M SORRY. I'm planting them today as part of my "plant a new plant every 10 days" - eg: I planted the carrots at Day 10, and today's Day 20. I realise that this is really bad organisation, but I have to plant the cauliflowers someday and this is the earliest I could. Sigh.


Also, the pictures I try to post aren't showing. Why???
