PROFILE

I want to work at the garden because: I enjoy it

Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:

  1. Keep up on weeding

  2. Limit my baseball bat sized zucchinis to 1 or under

Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:

  1. Best way to keep a pest free garden

  2. How to grow good cabbage

I think my biggest challenge will be: Keeping up on weeding

My favorite vegetable or fruit is: Zucchini

I hope to contribute this to the garden this year: A good attitude

GARDEN PROJECTS

1.Project One

Question/Problem(s) Proposed: What causes there to be more ladybugs in a season compared to another?

Answer(s) I found: There are a myriad of potential reasons attributed to the higher populations of ladybugs seen this season, such as a mild winter or an early start to spring. These conditions can often result in higher survival rates for ladybug larvae, leading to increased adult populations. A plentiful food supply also allows for both rapid breeding and successful development. These are all potential reasons for the higher population of ladybugs observed this garden season.
