Different parts of the plant in this picture are labeled. knowing how the plant works better helps us know how they grow. This is important to me because this past summer I picked over five baskets full of green beans. the structure of the plant is very interesting. knowing when to pic the beans off the plant and when you should pull the plant up are very important to making sure you get the most out of your plants. 



( Note for Dr. Harnden: I edited my tittle on 11/8/21, and left this note on 11/12/21.) ]]> 2021-08-22 17:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Hayden01/17mimosbv0zfsvg8/wish/1689641813 UNIT 2 Hayden01 https://padlet.com/Hayden01/17mimosbv0zfsvg8/wish/1725247315 I found a link that talks about the growth of roses. (i will have it at the bottom of my post.) This link states, "When growing roses, it’s important to choose a site receiving at least six hours of sun each day. Rose bushes must also be located in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant dormant roses in early spring (or fall). Potted plants can be planted any time between spring and fall, but preferably spring.". I found this information very helpful because it tells you how many hours of sunlight you need for the best growth for the rose. When growing any plant it is very important to make sure use the right soil. I plan to grow some this spring to give to my grandmother for her birthday because she loves roses.

Here is the link mentioned in my post.

When growing green beans my family and I use a few of these. For example we plant tomatoes, cabbage, and rosemary around our green beans. As the article stated, "Nasturtium and rosemary both deter bean beetle pests..." This was something my grandfather recently thought me. It is very interesting to see how these plants benifit from each other.

Yes many berries can be grown elsewhere, but there is an abendance of berries in taiga biomes. This article shows deffirent types of plant food that can be found in the Taiga. on the section about berries it sates, "In late summer, autumn in the forest abundance of berries: strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, cloudberries, blueberries, raspberries, lemongrass, etc. Many berries are suitable for food and winter freezing directly on the branches. If you can find under the snow-berry - can be good to eat." This information is good to know in general, but especially if you plan to visit Taiga biomes. I hope to be able to visit a Taiga biome one day and enjoy some of these berries.

Many wild potato species contain natural compounds called glycoalkaloids, which confer resistance to insects and diseases. While useful to the plant, these compounds also have a serious drawback: they impart a bitter taste and, at high enough levels, are toxic to humans." (Domestication of the Potato). I find this very interesting. it is fascinating that a plant has built in compounds that protects them from pest and diseases. as the quote mentions we removed this to have a much better taste. the potato that we know today are very different than the original potato.

If it was not for the domestication of plants our ancestors would have not been able to settle down. Plant domestication caused people to be able to settle down and create permanent cultures that made it possible to live how we do today. After plant domestication there started to be a surplus in food, which increased trade and a more lavash type of living. An article I read stated, ” Plant domestication involves selection, modification and long-term use of wild plant species with traits regarded as favorable by humans.” (Evolution of root traits along crop domestication). We have plant domestication to thank for our lavash way of living today.

I was in a life treating ATV wreck a year ago, I stayed in the hospital for a month. The first week I was there, I was given morphine (and lots of other medications) for pain relief. I was given a lot of pain medications and I was told I would be on them for a few months. I was worried about getting addicted to them, so I looked up what morphine was made out of. I found out a key ingredient is the opium poppy plant. The opium poppy plant is also the key ingredient in other medications (Oxycodone and Hydrocodone) they had me on. Knowing this information helped me because I found out even though they helped with the pain I had from injury’s these medications are very addictive. The opium poppy plant has been used good and bad. It is used for medications in hospitals, and is also used to make drugs such as heroin and cocaine. A PDF I viewed said, “Opium is a highly addictive non-synthetic narcotic that is extracted from the poppy plant, Papaver somniferum. The opium poppy is the key source for many narcotics, including morphine, codeine, and heroin.” (Drugs of Abuse, A DEA Resource Guide (2020 Edition)).

Knowing what plants do and how they do it will help you to better utilize the plant. It may not be in my lifetime, but sadly in the future plants and our planet will suffer to how we have been living and how we live today. Many people know the dangers later generations will face due to our actions. An article I read talks about who different organizations are doing for our future plant life. One passage states, “The future is not a trivial topic, and yet it is hard to approach unemotionally, and even harder to treat scientifically. Faced with the conflicting predictions of near-magical advances leading to increased gratification and pleasure, and potential problems that could easily lead to disasters, most people try not to think of the future at all. However, the pessimists’ problems and the optimists’ opportunities are both real, and we must consider both sides rationally so that practical steps can be taken to avert the one and realise the other.” (Plants of the Future). The article later goes on to talk about different views from scientists. I strongly suggest you read the article it is full of great information.
