10 22 Tomatoes And Peppers

This document provides an introduction to growing tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and nightshades in a home vegetable garden. It discusses that tomatoes and peppers are warm season crops best grown from transplants, with tomatoes able to develop roots along their stems and needing staking/pruning, and peppers' heat measured on the Scoville scale. Potatoes are a cool to warm season crop planted as cuttings and usually harvested when foliage dies back after 90 days. All nightshade plants contain low levels of toxins in their green parts that can become more potent when exposed to sunlight.

Cruciferous

This document introduces cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radish, and turnip. It notes that all are cultivars of the same species, Brassica oleracea, and can be crossed to make interesting combinations. Cabbage is described as a cool season vegetable that takes 50-60 days from transplant to harvest. Broccoli and cauliflower also grow as cool season vegetables from transplants planted 2 weeks before the last frost. After their main harvest, they will continue producing florets until too hot or too cold.

Seven basic needs for plant growth are identified: temperature, light, water, air, nutrients, time to grow, and room to grow. The document discusses each need individually, noting that different plant types have different optimal temperature ranges, plants need light for photosynthesis, water is essential for plant life and processes, air is needed for wind pollination, warmth, and rain, plants require nutrients to grow healthy and green, and they need sufficient time and space to properly develop. Citations are provided for additional information.

Fall gardening

jbgruver

Fall gardening involves planting warm and cool season crops to extend the harvest season. Cool season crops like broccoli, cabbage, carrots and lettuce can be planted in late summer and harvested into fall or overwintered. It is beneficial to plant in fall due to fewer pests and weeds, with crops maturing as days get shorter and cooler. Seeds should be planted 6-12 weeks before the average first frost based on crop maturity times. Seed germination may require pre-sprouting, irrigation and row covers during hot late summer weather.

Chipmunks are solitary except during mating and store food in their cheeks for modified hibernation when they stay semi-awake.

Shop layout project

The document outlines requirements and considerations for designing a flower shop layout, including a work area with cooler and work stations, an area to receive and condition flowers, storage, and an office. The showroom needs a display cooler, shelving, a sales counter, and consultation area. When designing the work area, efficiency through work triangles and a training video should be considered. The service area must make merchandise visible and have good traffic flow. Alternatively, the layout can be designed using CAD home design software on a computer.

Asymmetrical triangle designs

The document describes different asymmetrical triangle flower arrangements including the L-shape right triangle and scalene triangle. The right triangle arrangement involves securing foam in a container above the rim and establishing the framework by marking the height and width, then softening the upright edge and concealing the foam before adding a focal point and filler flowers. The scalene triangle is similar but must be elevated with the lower side below level or have the upper side extend beyond center with the lower side level.

Human impact on wildlife habitat

Human activities like construction, agriculture, mining and development have significantly reduced wildlife habitats by fragmenting large tracts of land into small, isolated pieces. This fragmentation creates population problems for wildlife by preventing migration and reducing genetic diversity. Wetlands, forests and farmland - which can provide excellent habitat if managed properly - have also been degraded or destroyed. However, certain habitat alterations like leaving field corners unplowed can benefit wildlife by providing food and cover. Overall, human encroachment has placed great pressure on wildlife populations by destroying and fragmenting the lands they depend upon.

History of conservation

The document summarizes the history of wildlife conservation in the United States from the 1600s to present day. It outlines key events like the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872 as the first national park, and the passage of laws like the Lacey Act of 1900, Migratory Bird Acts of the 1920s-30s, and Endangered Species Act of 1973 to regulate wildlife protection. It also profiles important historical figures in the conservation movement such as Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and Jay Darling.

Forest succession

1. Forest succession is the gradual replacement of one community of plants by another, usually driven by differences in shade tolerance. Pioneer species that colonize first are shade-intolerant, while climax species that eventually remain are most shade tolerant. 2. In an eastern deciduous forest, pioneer species like black locust and loblolly pine establish first following clearing before being replaced by oak trees with intermediate tolerance and later more tolerant maple and beech. 3. Forest succession can be influenced by disturbances like clearing or fire that allow pioneers to grow, while lack of disturbance allows climax species suited to the location to persist indefinitely.

Asters

The document discusses various types of flowers that are commonly used in floral arrangements, including mums, daisies, sunflowers, goldenrod, asters, and gerberas.

Plant physiology

The three main processes in plant physiology are photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. Photosynthesis allows plants to produce their own food (carbohydrates) from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using chlorophyll in their leaves. Respiration breaks down carbohydrates to release energy, which is used for growth and tissue building. Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water, primarily through their leaves, which serves purposes like mineral transport and cooling the plant.
