Submitted by Academy on Tue, 03/23/2010 - 8:53pm.

16:04 minutes (11.04 MB)

In this podcast, you'll hear that we came up with 5 questions and 5 different sources for finding answers to these questions.

Questions for our gardening project

  1. What's good to grow in Flushing, Queens?
  2. How deep does the soil need to be? How deep is our plot of land?
  3. How long does each item that we want to plant take to grow?
  4. How do we control pests?
  5. What tools do we need? Who can we get them from and where?

Possible sources for answers

We can interview or do research with or at:

  1. Parents and relatives who have or have had gardens.
  2. Neighbors or friends who have gardens.
  3. The people who seem to mainly speak Korean in the "Korean Gardens."
  4. The Internet -- and on http://www.urgentevoke.com (Perhaps we can get a gardening mentor there?)
  5. The Queens Library - books and other resources.
