Part II: Selection of Sources

I researched different types of resources but i settled for 3 main kinds, printed, online and personal. I did this to provide myself with the necessary information that would insure me accurate and legitimate background information.
   I did not really use any printed sources as in books or magazines because my topic did not really require such research. I chose to not use them because most of the information we got was off the internet or Farmer Justin himself. Also, both Nidia and I knew that most of the information would have to be obtained through another mean as our school library is very limiting.
   The electronic resources I was able to get were basically websites that helped answer questions regarding the process of the actual planting or harvesting. I decided to use them because they seemed reliable enough and an easy way to to get the information fast. I liked my online resources as they provided information that I needed at the time and it was easy to understand.
   So for my resources I think that I have managed to surround myself with people who are willing to help and guide me through this process. The IDEA Farmer and Ms. Jaegar have made themselves available to any questions we might have. Another very important source of information has been the previous person in charge of the maintenance of the garden last year, Sammy.We got some information on the kinds of things we could possibly grow from him and learned about some pesticide and there effects. I decided that these were good resources as they could supply us with their knowledge and past experience. Obviously  some resources were better than others. I found myself relying more and more on the school's farmer by asking him for help and advice. I knew what we had to accomplish, but in the places where we got stuck we were able to use the help of our advisers. 
   I discarded information through simply updating what I was to accomplish that specific week and work with that information. I changed my information as the projects for the weeks changed periodically. I evaluated my sources with the help of Farmer Justin and with some previous knowledge on planting and gardening.
