Dried fruit

It was a warm quiet Okanagan evening and as I sat out on the deck and watched a small car enter the driveway. A tall elderly gentleman unfolded from the car to sell a jar of honey. This seemingly insignificant gesture was the beginning of becoming the owners of “Arlo’s Honey Farm”. As green as grass and armed with a beekeeping book founder’s husband purchased – she jumped in and did her best. The bees have taught her many things, aside from a fast track education in beekeeping. The first lesson…

Introduction- Greta Arabidopsis is a plant commonly used in genotype tests. They display qualities that make them convenient for altering their genes without a lot of trouble. Consequently, there are several different genotypes of Arabidopsis. However, it is rather hard to test exactly what the genotypes do to the plants without some sort of stress being placed on them. This is a record of the experiments produced and their results. These experiments were important due to their nature- many…

Results: During this lab, we finish watching the video “earth from space” and begin discussing the procedures that will be taking place at the COM field ecology laboratory. We learn about the experiments that will be conduct to study primary production, ecological succession and population dynamics in the lab. Discussion A. What is primary production? Primary production is the production of biomass from chemical energy (primarily sunlight) “during a given time of period in an ecosystem” (pg.…

The aim of the experiment was to find if Fertliser effected the growth of the Tomato plants. My prediction was that the fertilised plant will grow more then the plants that were water. The fertilied plants will grow more because the fertiliser has element that the water cant give the plants that make it grow. The elements that fertiliser has is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This is why the fertilised plants grew so much.The experminent was used to investigate the difference between the…

In the poem Blackberries for Amelia, author Richard Wilbur paints a rustic and mellow portrait of an unnamed character harvesting wild blackberries. The diction is sharp and descriptive, with the usage of words such as “savage,” “spur,” “brambled,” “bolt,” and “ripen.” This lends to Wilbur’s heady descriptions of the blackberries, the most important symbols in the poem. The imagery is rich, going so far as to even describe the berries as “savagely sweet,” and writes extensively on the wild…

Plants require many different needs and care. We want to know how plants will grow based on their different environments and their climates. My mother's plants keep dying not matter what she does and we are unsure why. If the plants keep dying we will continuously need to keep buying more to keep her happy, and it would be easier to know how to prevent them from dying in the first place to avoid spending excessive money. It will help to teach people how to properly grow and care for their plants…

a banana republic is a small nation, especially in Central America, dependent on one crop or the influx of foreign capital. Banana republics are negative because of they allow big fruit companies to control much of the economies of these small nations with little regard for the well being of the nation.These big fruit companies are so focused on profit that the care of the workers takes a back seat. The health of the crop is more important than the health of their workers and the surrounding…

Six apricots; two ripe mangoes; one cup of reduced-fat milk; one-fourth teaspoon of vanilla extract; eight ice cubes; and a hint of lemon peel twists. Put these all together, mix and match them in a bowl, and then crush the ice cubes by hand then into a blender. As complicated and misconstrued as recipes for uber-healthy organic foods may be, as suggested by this “Apricot-Mango Madness” smoothie, in a similar way, academia and the media have presented an even more complex philosophy of healthy…

tree as “a tree of high price and profit.” This tree was likely the most profitable of all the above mentioned trees as it could be used for medicinal purposes, such as curing scurvy, and would likely have been useful in Europe and the New World. Fruits were also listed in some detail as they were encountered on the mainland and also on the Elizabeth Islands. Strawberries seemed to be the berry that was the most plentiful located on both the mainland and the islands. The strawberries are…
