The Story of The Seed

W hile studying our   Brassica oleracea plants in the   WGHS GOLD Main Garden me and my team discovered and observed a lot about the plants. We found that the shape size and texture of the different plants varied in the garden the most. Some of the plants had smooth thick ruffled leaves, some had hairy ruffled leaves ,and some had hairy flat leaves. All of the leaves also varied in size along with texture and collected this data by observing and taking measurements from the Brassica oleracea in the garden.  This is a picture of the plant #1 leaf. From the picture you can see that this leaf is very smooth and thick and doesn't have any hairs or spines. It is a lighter green color with a blue hue and is very ruffled especially around the plant leaves edges. We measured the length of this leaf and it came in at 13.3 cm which is bigger than some of the plants but not as big as the ones you will see later. This is a picture of the plant #2 leaf. This leaf is very ...

1)  The   Brassica oleracea plant, a seemingly boring specimen, does manage to have variation in itself. My team, seemingly lazy at the moment, did not want to join me to the garden excursion, so I went by myself to measure data. The data I decided to record was the width of the Brassica Oleracea and the length of the leaves on the plant (Both Kale and Brussel Sprouts). I decided that the leaf lengths had more variation then the plant height. Here is the data that I collected. Leaf Length Plant 1: leaf 1 - 11,5 cm Plant 1: leaf 2 - 9.5 cm Plant 1: leaf 3 - 13.5 cm Plant 1: leaf 4 -  10.5 cm Plant 1: leaf 5 - 11 cm Plant 1: leaf average - 11.2 cm Plant 2: leaf 1 - 9.5 cm Plant 2: leaf 2 - 8 cm Plant 2: leaf 3 - 8.5 cm Plant 2: leaf 4 - 10 cm Plant 2: leaf 5 - 11 cm Plant 2: leaf average - 9.4 cm Plant 3: leaf 1 - 14.4 cm Plant 3: leaf 2 - 13.4 cm Plant 3: leaf 3 - 12.8 cm Plant 3: leaf 4 - 13.7 cm Plant 3: leaf 5 - 14.1 cm Plan...
