Cut Flowers
Cut flowers have a special place among ornamental plants. These are flowers that are cut and collected and used in making bouquets, baskets and wreaths. Cut flowers are the most sold and traded ornamental plants in the world. Half of the world's ornamental plant trade belongs to cut flowers.
​
Cut flowers are divided into 3 groups according to their propagation status.
1. bulbous cut flowers
2. Propagated by grafting, cuttings or tissue culture
3. Propagated from seed
​
Bulb Cut Flowers
Propagation of these flowers usually occurs with underground bulbs, tubers and rhizomes. Tulip, Lilium, Freesia, Gladiolus are in the front row
Those Propagated by Graft, Steel or Tissue Culture
Their propagation is usually done by rooted cuttings or grafting. Cut rose, carnation, chrysanthemum and gerbera are the most important ones.
Propagated from Seeds
Flowers in this group are generally grown from seeds. Wallflower, Lisianthus, Husnuyusuf, Statis and Aster are the important ones.
The demands and growing methods of each type of cut flowers are different. Planting times are different, but there is a point that applies to all of them.
Cut flowers are generally sold at high prices during the winter months (November - May). For this reason, it is necessary to grow cut flowers to bloom during the winter months.
The time taken from planting or tip cutting to flower cutting in many flower species has been revealed by research. Sowing-planting is adjusted accordingly. The bulbs of some bulbous plants such as Tulip, Freesia and Iris are treated at special temperatures to ensure that they bloom 1.5-2 months before the normal season.
For example, if carnation seedlings are planted in January-February, the first flowers are cut in July, and the second flowers are cut in February.
If they are planted in May, the first flowers will be cut in September-October, and the second flowers will be cut in March-April. Gladiolus bulbs bloom 2.5-3 months after planting. Freesia bulbs are planted in September and if the greenhouse is kept at 15 C (heated) for 3 months from the beginning of December, they will bloom in February. If the greenhouse is not heated, they will bloom in mid-March-April, September If Chrysanthemum seedlings planted in 2018 are given 4 hours of additional light a day for 4-5 weeks, their flowers will bloom in February. Tulip bulbs are kept at 50C from mid-August to mid-November and if planted in mid-November, the flowers will bloom in December and January.
Blooming times of cut flowers can be adjusted with many applications such as these. Adjusting flowering times is very important in cut flower cultivation.
Although cut flowers are generally grown in plastic or glass-covered greenhouses, they can also be grown in open fields during the summer months when the climate is suitable. Gladiolus, Statis, Hüsnüyusuf are examples of these.
The cutting period of the flowers is very important during harvest. Flowers cut before they are fully ripe are not sold in the domestic market, and those cut too late have a short vase life. Therefore, flowers should be cut at the right time.
Cutting time for cut flowers varies depending on the species. The rose is cut as a bud before it fully opens. Flowers such as Lilium, Gladiolus, Tulip and Iris should be cut immediately when color is seen. Cloves are cut when their colorful leaves are fully opened. However, cloves to be cut for export are cut earlier, during the brush period.
The number of flowers in the bunches is different for each flower type. Roses and carnations are tied together, 20 of them. Flowers such as Tulip, Firesia and Gladiolus are tied in groups of 10. Two of the Liliums and five of the Wallflowers and Chrysanthemums constitute a bunch.
The flowers that are cut, bunched and soaked in water are placed in plastic flower boxes. Before putting the flowers in the boxes, the inside of the box is tied with paper. After the box is filled with flowers, the lid of the box is closed by covering it with paper.

Seasonal Flowers
Seasonal ornamental plants are plants that are generally used in parks and gardens and have a shorter lifespan than other plants. While such plants are preferred, they are generally purchased without knowing how short their lifespan is. For example, plants planted in summer wilt during the transition to winter and must be removed. New seasonal plants are planted to replace the removed plants.
When gardens and parks want to be decorated, wonderful designs can be created using seasonal ornamental flowers and color can be added to landscaping works. These flowers are generally short and come in different colours. Some seasonal plants can live for only a few months, while others can live for an entire season. These flowers, planted in parks and gardens, are removed approximately every two months and replaced with different flowers. When choosing these plants, which do not have a very long lifespan anyway, if you do not choose them according to the season, their lifespan will be shortened and your productivity will decrease. For this reason, when choosing ornamental plants, it would be better to plant them after learning which ones live longer in which season.
If we give an example from a region that is hot and dry in summer and rainy but not too cold in winter;
In autumn and winter: Cyclamen, dwarf snapdragon, pansy, primrose, Basement daisy, Fountain daisy, tulip.
Spring and summer: Dwarf glass beauties, New Guinea flowers, rosette flower, ground minaret, petunia, Dahlia, Zinnia, cock's pitcher, sugar begonia, tuberous begonia, marigold, dwarf geranium.
• Except for extreme temperatures, pansies can survive for long periods of time.
• Flowers that can survive without paying much attention to the heat: hollyhock, rosette flower, tuberous begonia.
• Flowers that can survive for a long time except in extreme cold: marigold, sugar begonia.
• Flower that can live for a long time until spring and mid-summer: petunia
Plants That Live Up to 6 Months
• Rooster comb
• Henna flower
• Marigold
• Basil
These flowers can grow from seed in a short time. They flower on average in 8-12 weeks. Its flowers are usually frequent. The lifespan of these plants varies between 3-6 months on average.
Plants That Live Up to 2 Years
The difference between these plants, which have a much longer lifespan among seasonal plants, is that they only grow leaves and make their roots much stronger in their first year. These plants, whose roots become stronger in the first year, bloom in the second year and complete their life by producing seeds again. Examples of these plants are rose marshmallow and hyacinth flowers.
Plants That Live Longer Than Other Seasonal Plants
• Tulip
• Ground minaret
• Glass beauty
• Primrose
• Rosette flower
• Cyclamen
• Sugar begonia
• Tuberous begonia
These flowers have a much stronger structure than other seasonal plants. Even in cold weather, they can survive longer compared to other plants. Of course, the climate of the regions where these flowers are found affects their lifespan. In addition, these flowers should be planted when they will be most productive and produce more flowers, knowing in which season they are more durable.
Seedling Types
A vegetable seedling must have a mature appearance with 3-4 true leaves and a healthy structure with sufficient roots.
Vegetable seedling:
• It is disease-free.
• Due to the special fertilization applied to the seedlings, the root system of the seedling is much better developed.
• When planted in the farmer's greenhouse, it grows and develops in no time.
• The first four clusters of a vegetable seedling form within the plant in the nursery. Therefore, the yield of a healthy vegetable seedling is high. It also ensures earliness.
ADVANTAGES OF Grafted Seedlings;
• 60-70% less seedlings are used
• It is resistant to certain root-soil diseases and pests.
• Since the rootstocks are strong, the scion variety nourishes its roots much better than its own.
-It transmits water and plant nutrients in the soil much better from the stem's own root to the top, even at low temperatures.
• It gives better results than normal seedlings in adverse conditions.
• It is more economical as less pesticides will be required against soil diseases.
• If no major mistakes are made in nutrition and care practices, the yield per decare will be much higher than normal seedlings.
​
RULES TO BE FOLLOWED AFTER PLANTING AND PLANTING;
• Base fertilizer (organic-chemical) should be applied to the soil before planting.
• During planting, the rootstock body must remain on the soil, the grafting point or the scion body must not come into contact with the soil.
• During planting, the roots of the seedlings should be compacted with soil, and there should be no space under and around the roots.
• Throat stuffing should never be done.
• The graft point should not be covered with soil even during hoeing.
• After planting, life water should be given abundantly, and in the following periods, an irrigation and fertilization program to be created with a technical consultant should be applied.
• Information should be taken about the strength of the rootstock and the fertilization program should be made accordingly.
• In grafted tomato cultivation, the tying process should be done without delay.
Otherwise, the seedlings will lie down and their grafting points will come into contact with the soil.
• When twining grafted tomato seedlings with double stems, the ropes of both stems should be tied to the main stem below the fork point.
Advantages of grafted watermelon seedlings over ungrafted seedlings;
• It is resistant to Fusarium oxysporum (collapsing) soil disease.
• Watermelon can be grown on the same land every year.
• It grows very strong.
• Efficiency increases at least twice. If the plants are taken care of well, products can be obtained from the same plant 2 or 3 times.
• Very good quality fruit is purchased.
• 250-300 seedlings per acre are planted in an open area.
• It is necessary to wait for the product to ripen before harvesting, otherwise it will taste like pumpkin.
(normal watermelon also tastes like pumpkin if harvested early).
• Ripe fruits can be kept for a very long time.
Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are very important for human health. Most people know that fruits and vegetables are good, but they aren't very familiar with the differences between them.
There are many differences between fruits and vegetables in terms of texture, taste and nutrition.
Here are the differences between fruits and vegetables:
​
Difference Between Fruits and Vegetables;
Fruits and vegetables are classified both botanically and culinaryly.
Botanically, fruits and vegetables are classified according to which part of the plant they come from. While a fruit develops from the flower of a plant, other parts of the plant are classified as vegetables. Fruits contain seeds, while vegetables may consist of roots, stems and leaves.
From a culinary perspective, fruits and vegetables are classified by taste. Fruits usually have a sweet or sour taste and can be used in desserts, snacks or juices. Vegetables have a milder or saltier flavor and often garniture or your main course eaten as a piece.
Fruits Are Often Confused With Vegetables
You probably have a pretty good idea, at least from a culinary standpoint, about which foods are considered fruits and which are considered vegetables. However, there are a few plants that are technically fruits, although they are often classified as vegetables because of their taste. Tomatoes is the most well-known and controversial example of this.
In 1893, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes should be classified as vegetables rather than fruits under U.S. customs regulations. Botanically speaking, a tomato fits the definition of a fruit. However, they are still commonly referred to as vegetables because of their flavor profile.
Some other common examples of fruits mixed with vegetables include:
Sweet Tasting Vegetables
Although there are many fruits that are confused with vegetables, there are very few, if any, vegetables that are considered fruits. However, some varieties of vegetables have a naturally sweeter taste than most other vegetables and are used in desserts, pies, and baked goods, similar to fruit.
Despite their sweet flavor, sweet potatoes are actually a type of root vegetable, not a fruit. Similarly, candied sweet potatoesis a baked dish containing sweet potatoes, another type of edible tuber. Other vegetables with a naturally sweeter taste include beet, carrot, turnip is available.
How Do Fruits and Vegetables Compare Their Nutritional Values?
Fruits and vegetables have many nutritional similarities. Both fiberIt is high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and plant compounds. Fruits and vegetables are also naturally low in sodium and fat.
As you'd expect given their sweet taste, fruits tend to have higher amounts of natural sugars and calories than most types of vegetables.
For example, one cup of apples contains 65 calories and 13 grams of sugar, while one cup broccoli contains only 31 calories and 2 grams of sugar.
Compared to vegetables, some types of fruit may also contain more fiber per gram. Fiber content per 100 grams for fruit varies between 2-15 grams, while leafy vegetables provide 1.2-4 grams of fiber for the same weight.
Water content is also highly variable. Leafy vegetables can consist of 84-95% water, while fruits contain slightly less, between 61-89%.
There are also some nutritional differences between different categories of fruits and vegetables. Here are a few important points about nutrition:
-
Tubers: Rich in fiber, also a good C vitamin, beta-carotene, potassiumIt is a source of and B vitamins.
-
Citrus: High in vitamin C, beta-carotene, folate, and which may protect against degenerative disease.is an antioxidant.
-
Cruciferous vegetables: Contain glucosinolates, a group of compounds linked to cancer prevention.
-
Berries: Anthocyanins, studied for their ability to reduce oxidative stress and improve heart health, anti-inflammatory it is full of compounds.
-
Leafy greens: A good source of carotenoids like lutein, which has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer.
Adding a good mix of fruits and vegetables to our diet can ensure you get a wide variety of nutrients.
Recycling Clothing Textile
Life cycle of clothes
Knowing the life cycle of clothing is one way to understand the impact of your carbon footprint . All stages of this life cycle have an impact on the environment:
-
Raw material production: Clothes are produced from raw materials such as polyester, cotton, silk or wool. Some are derived from non-renewable resources such as oil to produce synthetic fibers, while others come from plant or animal materials and therefore require a lot of water and chemicals.
-
Manufacturing of clothing: Due to the substances it contains, dye is toxic not only to the workers who make the clothing, but also to consumers and the aquatic ecosystem it pollutes.
-
Transport of clothes: Clothes are normally produced in developing countries where production costs and wages are lower, and transported to the UK and the rest of Europe by air or sea. However, aircraft are the means of transportation that pollute the environment the most.
-
Care of clothes: There is excessive use of water when washing clothes. Additionally, many polluting microparticles are released.
-
Recycling clothes: This is a very important step. Sorting through your wardrobe and recycling certain used clothes helps extend the lifespan of clothes, thus avoiding unnecessary steps such as producing raw materials, manufacturing products, and even shipping.
