Seed Update #5






This week, our science teacher allowed us to see our plants. They were progressing fairly and had grown new anatomical structures, such as nodes and seeds. The nodes and seeds will eventually grow into food, buds and leaves. The seeds might also fall off the plant and into the soil, which will then become a new plant.

The amount of sunlight, water and space can limit the number of plants. Too much sunlight or too little water will dry the plant's soil. Not enough sunlight or more than enough water will cause the plants to slow their growth rate and wind will constantly push a plant.
I think the carrying capacity for one garden box is 150-200 plants, because the space is very large. However, too many plants would equal lots of competition.
