24th day (Monday Feb 18 2019)

I woke up at 5 am. I took a bath and had breakfast. As ussual, kuya Obet fetched us to Allied Botanical Garden. We rrived there at 6.30 am. In that day, our schedule was breeding. In the morning, sir ezekiel the assistant of eggplant and ampalaya learned us how to polinate eggplant, ampalaya, pepper, corn, okra. Eggplant and pepper had complite flower while ampalaya had incomplite flower. The method was same like in our school. For egglant and pepper before we polinated, one day before they had to be done bagging for the unblossom flower, the purpose was to protect from the others pollen to polinate it. After one day, it was ready to polinate. For selfing, we got the male from their own flower. We done emasculate, but it was okay if we left 2 or 3 male inside the flower. For crossing, we couldnt do that. We had to remove all of the male inside because it could contaminated. For ampalaya, same like the others, the difference was they were dioceous, thats why we done bagging for the female one day before. There, the pepper were second generation. They had to grow until 6 or 8 generation to get the pureity. It would be high segragation if we done crossing when they were still low generation. After 6 or 8 generation, they would be ready crossing to get the better plant that deases resistan or pest resistant. For corn, there were two ways. It was occur of okra. We done bagging the day before for unblossom flower.

 

At 11 am we had break time. We went to ojt student's boarding house and we cooked torta. Kuya Joshua made it for us. We got eggplants from Baguio market when we were there. It was easy to make torta, first we should grilled eggplants until black. And then we removed the skin and flated it. After that we cracked eggplant and mixed it, poured chopping garlic and soy sauce into. And then, added flatting torta into egg and fried it. We ate together there. In to the afternoon, sir Jhoony learned us how to polinate long bean. We done selfing. Just covered it with sticky peper and made sure that it good enaugh covering. And put label.

 After that we learned how to get seed ekstraction of squash, ampalaya and luva. For luva we had to let them for 12 days after harvesting until it was really dry and when we shaked it, there was a ringing. It was ready to ekstract and put it into a pocket. For squash and ampalaya we had to slice the fruit and washed them After that, we had to dry it under the sunshine for 3 days.
