Blog 18: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #3

1. What is the best way to grow a healthy, organic, flower garden?
2. I asked Pittman what I should research to lead me to my third answer and when I explained my two answers already to my EQ she said a third answer was not needed.
3. Well the reason I would not have a third answer is because my second answer, planning a garden, has many units that make it a whole. Such as, planning the irrigation system, location, soil, what type of flower, and much more. Explaining each of these things would be almost like a mini answer that make it an answer as a whole. 
4. There would be no sources for a third answer due to the fact that I won't need one.
5. I plan to continue researching my current answers for more detail.

Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

1. What is the best way to grow a healthy, organic, flower garden?
2. My second answer to my EQ is the importance of planning your garden.
3. It is important to plan a garden because if you don't you will make things harder on yourself. Some details would be: 

• Having to know which plants you are planting. For example, are you planting annual flowers or perennial flowers and know the kind of care for each flower.
• Knowing how big your garden is going to be and where things are going to be located. An example would be pathways. If you do not plan your pathways you could potentially step and harm on you flowers. This could then harm the plants and potentially kill them, if that happens, it would be a waste of time. Also, you need to know what type of water system you will have and other things like that.
• Knowing what soil you are going to be using or be dealing with. When planning your garden you also have to consider soil. Soil gives nutrients to plants and different types of soil provide different things, so you have to keep that in mind. 

         4. My most important source is a tie between my third interview and the book titled, "The         Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening". 

         5. I plan to continue learning about my 2nd answer by planning my own garden and growing one. I also want to research it in more detail. 

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1. For my Independent Component 2 I was planning on growing another flower garden. However, instead of growing a perennial type of flower, I will grow annuals. Annuals are flowers that do not last years but rather a season.
2. Starting and maintaing flower gardens are a lot of work but even more so if it is an annual. Annual flowers are picky to where they are planted and what soil they require. I will have to plan the garden a lot longer than I did for my first Independent component and will have to cater to the specific needs of the flower.
3. This independent component works well with my EQ because I get to experience what it's like working with the difficult annual flowers. I will compare both of my experiences and see the differences. I will also see how there needs differ and see if they have any similarities.
