Initial Plant Research

California Bluebells:
flowers, Growing season: Early spring or late Fall, starts to germinate in about 8 to 10 days. doesn't really need special preparation but young plants need to be kept evenly moist, sporut -harvest, should be planted about 1 inches apart, soil requirements are dry soil thats easily drainable, young plants need to be kept evenly moist, it grows quickly and blooms plentifully but will die at first frost. Doesn't need much water as it is native to desert areas

Red Oakleaf Lettuce:
Vegetable, takes one to two weeks to germinate,keeping soil evenly moist, after 55 days should be mature, takes up about 8 inches which I see reasonable, the seeds should be planted about 1 inch from eachother, for this plant says keep soil evenly moist for good growth, good watering system is frequent short periods of watering but likes not to be overdrowned.

Arugula:
Vegetable, growing season is early spring but planting before first fall frost is okay too, takes 10-15 days to germinate, then about 50 days for harvest. should space seeds about i inch apart from eachother, they like rich soil but can live in many conditions, keeping moist will help buds that are slow, plikes ph of about 6
