The Sign of Nine

@thesignofnine

In a far off land, in a suburban high school, two young teenage girls attempt to grow the largest plant in the greenhouse. Will they be able to accomplish such a tedious task? It's a sign of nine in this competition. Who will win*? Let the games (growing) begin! Photos taken by cloudydayapples Blog updates by the-cheekbones-of-deduction *This is actually a real competition. Whoever in the class has the "largest" or tallest plant in the class wins a pretty nice grade. AP Biology final project 2014

We cleaned out the greenhouse on Friday.

Look at all the cute name tags!

I guess we will have lima beans for dinner this summer and some flowers for decoration!

Day 10: The End of an Era

So, my friends, it looks like the competition has ended.

And we have lost.

None of our plants grew, except for our side projects. But that's okay. It's all okay.

It was pretty fun anticipating growth and conducting this final lab experiment.

But now, the year is over, which marks the end of an era. (The AP Biology era).

It's been a great closure to the year, everyone.

Thanks for being on this hectic ride for the past 2 weeks.

The school greenhouse has become one of my favorite places now in the entire world. Even though it's scorching there in the summer, it's nice and toasty in the winter.

I've had fun, you guys. I've had fun.

Have a great summer, and don't forget to stay spiffy.

By the way, I suppose that I should sign off by actually including my name at the bottom of this final blog post.

So it's been real, you guys. It's been real. This is my final daily blog post that will be written for this blog now. But I hope you enjoyed our daily updates on our project.

Till the next time,

Day 9: Shelter!

So since the greenhouse was absolutely burning the plants that we have grown, we decided to move in some of our sprouting plants into the greenhouse. Hopefully those will now grow happily in peace.

Our Dill plants still haven't grown unfortunately.

Lab report is done, turned in,

Maybe a miracle will happen tomorrow.

Not much to say since this is the end.

Final blog post will be updated shortly.
