I've been having trouble focusing on my project lately, and keeping track of dates, apparently. I missed one of my meetings with ms. clark evans, because I'd forgotten which week exactly I was supposed to go, or how many weeks it's supposed to be. Ms. Aldrow said it's good if we'd meet every two weeks, so I guess I just lost track of which week I was supposed to go in. I'm planning on going for a meeting starting october 3rd, and noting in my planner every two weeks, in big bold letters "MEETING 3RD PERIOD TODAY". The problem with missing the meeting this time was that I just didn't write it down.

In my last meeting with Ms. Clark Evans, we talked about possible places for me to grow an herb garden during the winter, since Matt Hussmann isn't able to do his greenhouse side project. We thought that I could ask permission from the head of the lower school and see if any of the lower grades would like to have me teach them about what I'm doing. Then, I'd be able to grow my plants indoors for the winter. But then I went home and talked to my grandparents about it, and thought that since they've grown and tended to loads of plants before, that if I grew the plants in my house, it might be better for them overall. That way, I'd have them nearby and could give more attention to them, and if I thought I was doing something wrong and really didn't know what to do, I could ask my grandparent's advice. Since it would be in the house, they'd be able to look at the plant and help me out. So, I'm going to ask my grandpa about what I'd need to start a raised garden in my basement. We have most of the supplies, I think (other than the raised garden structure itself, which I'm planning to get a hold of in the next few weeks).

This next week I don't think I'm going to get much senior exhibit work done, because SAT's are this saturday, and my grandparents are more concerned that I study for it right now. My plan is to at least look at some raised gardens online and see which ones might work best in my house, and then make a list on what each plant needs. I think if those guidelines are set out, then all my planning will be taken care of, and I can start the garden!
