Grayson Diamond Story of The Seed

Q: What have you learned?

A: I have learned that only after a few weeks my kale plant had grown substantially. Getting to see the leaves curl and begin to color I realized that my plant was a part of the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles and that Abiotic & Biotic factors affected it.

Q: What surprised or amazed you?

A: I was surprised to see how fast my plant grew compared to the other local species of plants.

Q: What made you laugh?

A: I nearly laughed when I tasted the Kale. It had it's typical kale flavor, but because I hadn't had tasted Kale in a few years, and my taste palette had completely changed, I was astonished to near hysteria because of the exotic flavors.

Q: What made you pause and think a little deeper?

A: When I evaluated my Kale plant under a microscope I saw the vibrant colors and major veins in the plant. I paused in shock and took some time to think of how small things can be. I always thought that whatever I did wouldn't make such an impact in the big scheme of things, but upon viewing the plant I approached the conclusion that such a small thing can have such a big use and purpose then I, just one man can have such a impact on our world.

The ones that so called "survived" would be a winner you could say and the plants that have had died would be the losers. But it is hard to tell if a plant has had died. For example, if a worm or a different insect had bitten into a leave it doesn't necessarilly mean the plant has died. It's also hard to tell if the plant is doing well and doing not so well. The plants and the worms living in the soil are mutual at this point beside the competition. Worms are very useful in many different ways. I believe that the garden can be a success.
