| Discovery Notes | Date: 9/19/16 Time: 2:58 pm Depth: 2.55 in = 6.48 cm Approx. Temp.: 71 degrees Farenheit General Location: Summer Winter Community Garden Soil sample was collected along a footpath located in a garden within an urban setting. There was a light rain at the time of collection. The soil, while moist at the top, was somewhat dry once dug up. The soil was also somewhat clumpy. Being in a garden, the collection site was surrounded by a variety of plants and there were also a few chickens located nearby. |
| Naming Notes | In the cartoon series SpongeBob Squarepants, there is a sort of a running gag. There is a fish who can be quoted to yell out "My leg!" in the face of disaster in different episodes. This fish's name is Fred. Fred is the inspiration for my phage name. I simply switched out the F for a Ph. |
