TED Talk: In this video one of the most interesting thing that I heard him talking about was about the apples and how many there were and how they are going extinct. Also how some are named from older relatives. something else is that these apples and seeds are going extinct and I think we need to do something to keep these from going away.
Doomsday Seed Vault Opens In Norway: In this article I agree with what was said. This new vault to keep seeds in like a storage is cool because like what the article said it would save more seeds from going to a waste.
Seed Bank for the World Threatened by Financial Crisis: This article to me sounds like if they are making collecting the seeds we have to pay a lot more money. In the article before this one, the vault they are making in Norway, made it sound like if it was not going to take that much money, but in this article it sounds like they are putting to much money for this.
Near Arctic, Seed Vault Is a Fort Knox of Food: I think it would be a good idea for them to put every sample of seeds and take there over there. But what if they run out of space to leave the seeds? Would they make another vault next to it or around it or someplace else?
Global Seed Vault: How long is the vault? Are they going to make another vault some place else were it's warmer or does the seeds to to stay cold to still be put in storage for a long time?

Insects in the Garden
In our cubic foot we found different type of insects. All the grass and flowers around the cubic foot was wet, so there we slugs and worms and other creatures running in there. I found worms, caterpillars, rollies pollies, ants, bees, flies, and etc.
Plant Research
I would be growing these two vegetables and the other plants that we have in the garden.
Superschmelz Kohlrabi
Brassica oleracea
A Superschmelz Kohlrabi is a type of vegetable. This vegetable is made to be planted in the cold weather like in the fall. The Superschmelz Kohlrabi needs to germinate for about 6 to 9 days. The harvest days for the Superschmelz Kohlrabi is about 55 to 130 days. The need to be 1/4 deep and about an inch of spacing from each seed, the rowing space has to be 18 inches apart. When the Superschmelz Kohlrabi is germinating the soil needs to be 70 to 85 degrees. Requires fertile soil. They should be water on the days when it is hot or they look dry.
Snowball Cauliflower
Brassica oleracea
A Snowball Cauliflower is a type of vegetable. This should be planted in the fall during cold weather not hot weather. This should germinate in 5 to 10 days. The harvest days is 60 to 90 days. 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep into the soil. The spacing should be 1 inch apart from each other. The snowball cauliflower should have sun and some shade. You should water this plant so that the soil would be moist.
