Have you also a garden? I've been writing that I've been busy with mine and have been spending the late afternoon working there. These days, I'd be busier than usual since I'm maintaining two gardens and a few other commitments are eating my time.
Last time I've been to my garden, I have sown a few seeds on the spaces we've finished weeding. I first planted broccoli, carrots and ... Last time, I let a few seeds of spinach, radish and onion sleep in the ground.
Only those who really reads would click on this video and answer this question : Which event that has happened in Steemit a few days ago did I mention in this video - and what did I say exactly? Answer the question properly and you're in for a surprise - but then you have to be the very first(wink wink).
....the harvest ...
Okay, kidding aside .. those were just remnants of last winter's harvest. Despite the cold they have managed to grow very well. I added them on a Kiran Mari that night.
These are what those seeds look like. They are all okay to be sown directly on the ground in March.
Things to remember in planting these three seeds.
Find out which month the seeds may be sown whether in a glass house or directly into the ground.
Rake the soil or the ground where you would plant the seeds so they could breathe.
- Sow any seeds during the dusk or near dusk for this time, the birds won't be digging them up. The soil is soft when you rake them up and the birds know that the earthworms will be crawling up and it would be easy for them to pick those crawlers off the ground. The seeds could possibly get raked out with their claws and not grow. During dusk, most birds are already perched with their mates on their nests so you won't have to worry that your freshly sown seeds would be dug up.
- Observe the rows and depth indicated on the seeds' packaging.
Amsterdam Prickly Seeded Spinach - 20 cm apart from each , 10cm deep
Onion - 25 cm apart, 10 cm deep
Radish - 30 cm apart, 5 cm deep
- Cover each hole and water. As for the Raphanus Sativus I will have to keep watering them a lot otherwise they'd be a bit bitter sharp and that won't be delicious.
I planted two rows of red onions between the radish and the spinach thinking the onions could repel larvae that would gnaw on the spinach leaves. While doing that my instinct told me I shouldn't have done that but I was sure it's okay to plant them beside the spinach. When I got home I checked my chart of incompatible plants. Damn it! There was nothing to worry about you worry wart. There was totally no reason to panic and stress myself out thinking about - making a reminder to thin the radish and transplant them elsewhere the whole drive back home.
How about you?
Have you also been gardening too, lately?
Which seeds have you already sown?
Which incompatible plants have you accidentally planted beside each other?
How can or did you solve that problem?
I took both the video and pictures with my Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 edition.
