How the Plants are Doing #2- Gina

The vertical system shut down.

Some of the plants have withered and aren't doing that well but the majority of the plants are doing well and have continued to grow. Some plants aren't growing due to the fact that there's snow, low temperature, and less sunlight. I think the plants grew very well last year because we started in spring and ended in summer, therefor, they had the right temperature and the right amount of sunshine. This year, we started at autumn and now it's December, so the plants are having a hard time.

For the projects in the greenhouse, they're working pretty well and some new products are making the sunlight reflect to the plants, experimenting on germinations, and making a new system that will improve and use less space. In the greenhouse, you can see new projects going on and it will hopefully made the greenhouse better.

When I interviewed the people working in the greenhouse, they said some plants weren't doing so well but most were. The vertical system has closed down due to the fact that it was causing too much problems such as the leaks, spills, and there not being too many plants. The plants in the raft system are also not doing so well and many haven't gotten big yet. On the other hand, the horizontal system and the grow-bed system are going well and the plants are starting to show flowers.
