Crop Families

In Class on Tuesday, we had a scavenger hunt where our goal as a group was to identify 10 different types of plants on the farm. We worked with our bed groups, and were given 30 minutes to complete the task. My group worked really hard to find all the different types of plant species, and we prevailed. The families that we found were Allium, Solanaceae, Cucuburbaceae, Legumes, Poaceae, Liliaceae, Brassicaceae, Apiaceae, Chenopodia, and Lamiaceae.  A challenge that we faced was finding a leaf from a liliaceae plant. Also in class on Tuesday we were given our class beds. Our job when we first we first received beds was to remove the corn stalks and start cleaning up the bed.
