first choice

My first choice would be strawberries, and when I looked up seeds online, I came across Italian Alpine Stawberry seeds. The strawberries are much more petite than the regular strawberries, and are ideal for rock gardens usually but once harvested, they have a much more flavorful taste then the regular strawberries we usually eat.

Here is the link.

Strawberries- The growing season is in the spring, and it is advised to plant them when the soil is not wet and on a cloudy day. From my research, not many people grow the strawberries from seed, but it is possible. If we do grow them from seed they must be frozen for 2 weeks and take 2-3 weeks to germinate. Most articles and stores sell the actual plant. The time to harvest is anywhere from 6-10 months, but it is also dependant on how the mature the strawberry plant is when you plant it. In 4 to 5 weeks, the plant will produce daughter plants and runners. I think it makes sense to plant, even if they aren’t ready in time for exhibition they might be ready during early fall for the next group of students. Since we don’t have to worry about frost, there is potential for the strawberries to continue growing, some plants can come back for up to 6 years. Strawberries need to be planted 12-18" apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. No specific soil requirements, but it is advised to have as much organic matter as possible and to use fertilizer. The soil's pH should be slightly acid, from 5.5 to 6.5.The soil is supposed to be worked very well, almost one foot into the dirt. Watering is 1-2 inches per week, or a moderate amount, especially when the flowers are blooming.

Wednesday Journal

Today I had a normal day- driving to school, going to class, and driving home. But one big difference was today I had my oil and brake fluid changed for my car. This made me wonder where oil comes from, how it's produced, and how it's distributed. It also made me wonder if oil just comes from a natural source, or if it is processed into many different chemicals, and where do those chemicals come from? It made me also think about the amount of gas I use to drive from El Cajon to Point Loma twice each day. That takes 30 miles each, and it makes me wonder how many gallons it uses per day.
