| Discovery Notes | Soil sample was taken from underneath a pumpkin in the SCSU garden. Surrounding vegetation includes sunflowers, eggplant, peppers, and watermelon. Because of the plant above it, the soil received little to no sunlight daily. Day of retrieval was sunny and there was no precipitation for over a week prior. |
