We sampled Impatiens noli-tangere and collected samples for seed bank (samples for Jan in Stockholm) in Trondheim on 18th and 19th August 2011. According to the plan, Serina was also here could join the trip and it will be easier for us as we are 4 people. All the populations of Impatiens noli-tangere were near by Hommelvik areas so, we drove to Hommelvik for for collecting Impatiens noli-tangere samples. It took us one day and few hours for next day. After we finished collecting samples of Impatiens noli-tangere, we drove to Lade to collect samples for seed bank experiment. For seedbank experiment, we already marked plots with Stachys sylvatica and Poa nemoralis from where we have to harvest inflorescence of these two species. There populations were from Lade to Byneset. We managed to finish all the populations by 19:00. The last population to be sampled was at Tomset. It was about 19:15 when we finished the final sampling. Serina and Jennifer helped a lot and worked hard to finish sampling by that day. After sampling I decided to have food out. We decided to have food in McDonald for celebrating last day of sampling Impatiens however sampling of Impatiens glandulifera in Trondheim has not done. But, Serina is leaving on 31st August so, we decided to have food immediately after field work. We drove to McDonald at Sluppen. It was already 21:00 when we (Sharmila and I) arrived home from the University where we put all the samples in drier and cleaned soil probes.
