Final Proposal

1. A detailed statement of the problem or question that you are addressing.
The question I am asking is; what can I, Tucker Juan, provide for my self in a pot garden in an urban city as a college student? I am using several resources to answer this question. I am going to a class at the New Orleans Food and Farm Network on how to garden. I am using Vegetable Planting Guide of Louisiana as a resource of thing to grow in my garden. I am also talking to farmers at the Hollygrove farmers market.

2. An explanation of why this question is important. (Include any references that you have gathered.)
The reason I think my question is important is that I want to become more self-sustainable citizen and I want to cut down on the focal fuel I use. As a college student money is tight and I still want to eat and live healthy. A great way to eat healthy and cheaply is to grow some of the things I eat in my own garden. By growing some of my own vegetables and herbs I know were they come from and how they are grown. I also want to look at urban gardening in New Orleans

3. Detailed description of the methodology that you are using to answer the question or study the problem.
(Include any references that you have gathered.)
I have five pots that are helping me grow some vegetables and herbs. I have one pot growing onions, another pot is growing carrots, the third pot is growing lettuce, the fourth pot growing sweet peppers and the last pot is growing herbs. The herbs include basil, parsley, sage, oregano, and dill.

4. Summary of anticipated results.
I hope by the time the project is due I will have some vegetables and herbs.
5. Method for communicating your final results and conclusions.
I will have a power point showing my supplies, pictures of the growing process and a look at the cost of gardening and the benefits of saving money doing my own garden.
