I have the most spectacular garden on my balcony. In the springtime, my garden is a riot of color and bursting fragrances. I have many kinds of garden, such as flower-garden, fruit-garden, and the garden of medicinal herbs. On this paper I will be telling you specifically about my favorite fruit garden on how to grow strawberries. I will tell you the history of strawberries, different type of strawberries, how to grow strawberries and tips and warning. Two year ago I wanted to find a great hobby and something interesting to me that will excite me and watch it grow. I bought me strawberry seeds packet. I put them seeds in the big pot and last two springs they began to grow and now they are almost 5feet in height. At first, I thought, I am not a gardener so I do not know if these are weeds or real plants. I have never seen strawberry plants grow so tall. I hate to pull them up in the event they really are a strawberry plant. The leaves look like strawberry. Hahah but they smell like a weed. Well fortunately after two year of watering and mesmerizing my strawberry plant, I do happen to have “green thumb” after all, my strawberry plant now happen to be a small tree. One of the best things about my strawberry tree is that there is something to admire all seasons on my balcony, long, shiny oval leaves contrast beautifully with the cinnamon colored flaking bark on the trunk and branches and the tree in good shape and have bearing huge strawberry fruits that my kids love to pick and eat. The origin and history of strawberry is a native plant of North America. The name 'strawberry', that it holds is derived from a farmers' practice of mulching the plant with straw. There is one more theory about the origin of the word strawberry. Strawberries being abundant in nature, was not cultivated as a cash-crop. Strawberries strewn among fallen leaves was a common sight in olden days. This might have led to the development of the word strawberry from the two

    With respect to plants surrounding the habitat of bunchberries, many large trees such as the red maple were located in stations four and five. It was noticed that the area in which bunchberry plants grew were shady areas because the large trees were blocking the sun light from reaching them. Plants need sunlight to conduct photosynthesis in order for growth to take place; however, too much exposure to the heat the sun brings may cause a plant to become too dry through the process of evaporation which supports the earlier prediction that a bunchberry requires a moist, cool environment for growth. The trees enhance the growth of the bunchberry by allowing for a cool and moist environment through shielding it from the heat of the sun. Not many tall trees could be found in station three which could be an explanation as to why fewer bunchberries were seen there.…

    How to Grow a Garden

    It takes a lot of time and hard work to grow a garden. First you would have to start out small. You don’t want to bit off more than you can chew, or hoe. Like , if you plant a huge garden, you’ll wish that you didn’t because of the hard work. Next, you must choose a location that receive as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. After you have located a spot to grow your garden, you should examine the soil. You will want to see if the ground is rich in top soil. Sometimes the ground can seem like its rich in top soil but it can be sand or clay. The spot that you choose also needs good drainage. Vegetables will not grow on poorly drained soil, even if you use the best fertilizer money can buy. The next step to have a successful garden is making the rows. This way your vegetables can spread out evenly and balanced throughout growth. It is easier to make out rows now than back then in the early 1900’s. People now use a tiller plow rather than plowing with a mule. So this was a turning point in technology. The next step is the preparation of the rows. You might first clean out the plot, remove all grass, weeds, vines, and any other wild grass that needs to be remove. Then you have the fertilization of the plot. There are many different methods of fertilizing a garden. The most common of them are organic fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, and triple thirteen. My suggestion to you as a farmer my self is to use the triple thirteen. It is the best out of the three to start out with. The next step in the gardening process is to select the type of seeds that you would like to plant. There are lots of seeds that that you can choose from when planting a garden. I only plant my favorites. I love to plant corn tomatoes, okra, peppers, peas,…
