Quiz - Summing up growing food
Hello! You are halfway through this course. By now you probably know the drill, but we will share it again...we don't save the results nor is it necessary for you to complete this quiz to progress to the next module, it is simply an aid to your learning.
Module 4 covered the heart of this course - growing vegetables. We discussed the way we name plants, how we classify and categorise food plants, and how to plan your vegetable growing to get the best outcomes. Most of the module focussed on some of the basics around growing different vegetables, including leaves, greens, roots and stems; and vegetables grown for their fruits and seeds. We complete the module learning about herbs and how easy it is to start your gardening journey with parsley.
