My ginger cat

I have a beautiful ginger color cat, who is 10 months old and loves, kids, cats and always uses the litter box, she is spayed and has all her shots.

She loves to play and is a great fly catcher.

she is unwanted but she is a great cat.

Indoor outdoor cats

I have two super sweet indoor outdoor cats that need a home.

They love people and would like to live together but would not be sad if they left each other.

Help these poor little kitties

Cloning a Tomato eHow Homeschool

From Projects and Activities

This is Hammerhead, in this post I am posting pictures of tomato cloning step-by-step. Cloning is very simple, basically you just cut off a growing tip from a tomato plant, stick it in potting soil, keep it moist and wait.

Tip: Make a greenhouse around your new clones from thin plastic sheeting, like a painter's drop cloth or you can reuse a plastic bag.

From Projects and Activities

This photos shows one of the clones planted about two weeks ago.

Hammerhead added bean poles to his garden.  

This is the true sign of an optomistic gardener!

Mean Radish MCS

Welcome back it is MCS!

Yesterday, I measured my radishes and the mean height was 11 cm. The mean leaf length was 13 cm. Hammerhead123's mean height was 5.5 cm.The mean length of his longest leaf was 6.8 cm.

My growth rate of the height is 1.0 cm/day and the leaf length increases by 0.8 cm/day.

My radishes are growing faster than Hammerhead123's radishes because his radishes were in competition with each other (called: intraspecific competition) from right when they came out of the seed. When they got above the soil they grew thin and tall like a small tree. My radishes did not have to fight for food or light so they grew bushy with big, long leaves.

If you have any more information about growing big radishes or questions for me please leave a comment.
