Family: Brassicaceae

Ornamental cabbage has low tolerance for heat and requires a medium amount of water. The biennial life cycle of this plant can be interrupted by hot climates or overwatering. Oklahoma is a potential area it could survive, but only in the winter. The summers and rains Oklahoma receives would not allow Ornamental Cabbage to thrive on it's own.]]> 2020-09-10 00:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733349974 Shallot jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733394876 Life-cycle: Biennial
Family: Alliaceae

Shallots are planted in September and October in the Northern Hemisphere. They prefer a cooler climate with full sun in well moistened soil. Shallots require experiencing cooler weather before they can begin they flower out. Oklahoma could be a good place to grow shallots depending on which part of the state you grow them since they do require a dormant period.]]> 2020-09-10 00:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733394876 Chickweed jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733464345 Life-cycle: Winter Annual
Family: Caryophyllaceae 

Chickweed is an herb that can be tossed into salads, sandwiches, soups, and so forth. They can grow in a variety of temperatures and soil textures. They can quite literally grow in someone's lawn. Chickweed is considered a Winter annual and perennial life cycle plant. Typically they emerge in late summer, lays dormant in the winter, and lays out seeds spring and early summer. Oklahoma would definitely be a great area is grow Chickweed. The best months to plant Chickweed in Oklahoma would be late September to October when the temperatures are going into the lower 60s and 50s. If you plant Chickweed in Canada then the best time would be between September and December. In Oklahoma, Chickweed would be harvested in April or May. In Canada, you would harvest the Chickweed in February when Spring begins.]]> 2020-09-10 01:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733464345 Winter Cress jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733515909 Life-Cycle: Winter Annual
Family: Brassicaceae

Wintercress prefer places like hayfields, rocky areas, and banks to grow. They flower in May and June, summer time, after being planted in the winter months. Oklahoma definitely is home to this weedy herb since they can grow about anywhere and thrive in the cold and heat.]]> 2020-09-10 01:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733515909 Petunias jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733553336 Life-Cycle: Summer Annual
Family: Solanaceae

Petunia's can be classified as both a Summer annual and a perinnial plant. They bloom all through summer and then die off when the first signs of frost come through. These flowers don't tolerate shade and can prefer temperate climates. For soil, they prefer something like a garden bed. Oklahoma summers are good for petunia's, but one does have to be careful with how much water they are or aren't receiving because they can die very easily.]]> 2020-09-10 01:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733553336 Poppy jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733576982 Life-Cycle: Summer Annual
Family: Papaveraceae

Poppies are a very popular seed. They are planted as soon as the ground is warm and soft in the early spring. They can tolerate many soil textures and types as long as it's not too wet. They require at least six hours of sunlight a day with some shade. A fun fact is that Poppies are a part of the genus paver which is known for opium type plants. Poppies could definitely survive in Oklahoma with the right amount of watering for the dry spells in the summer.]]> 2020-09-10 01:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733576982 Basil jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733593424 Life-Cycle: Perennial
Family: Lamiaceae

Basil is an herb that is commonly used in cooking that most likely came from India. Basil is frost sensitive and thrives in warm temperatures. This explains why a lot of people grow it inside: for easier access for cooking and easier to maintain warm temperature. The ideal time to plant basil would be after the last spring frost in moist soil.]]> 2020-09-10 02:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733593424 Hydrangea jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733595065 Life-Cycle: Perennial
Family: Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangeas are considered large flowering shrubs. Hydrangeas bloom in spring and summer. Fall is the best time to plant hydrangeas. The best area is somewhere where they can get plenty of morning sun but have shade from the afternoon heat in soil that has good drainage. My grandmother plants hydrangeas every year, and they thrive incredibly in Oklahoma summers as long as you don't water log them.]]> 2020-09-10 02:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733595065 Work Cited jordanrobinson10 https://padlet.com/jordanrobinson10/g691yzxqmlt49qh8/wish/733620861 The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. “Basil.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 26 Nov. 2019, www.britannica.com/plant/basil.
