After many years of editing the mud in our 5-year-old bed garden, this year’s early success made me excited-and probably a little decreased. Some early rains increased growth, but many trips outside the city removed me, and before I know, especially my tomato plants were getting out of control. I also released the beds as I was crowded with thin seeds or train plants.
The thrill of successful spirits and the growth of plants can make the necessary harvest or leave the leaves, which seems almost painful. Nevertheless, I know that controlling plants and controlling sheep can result in healthy gardens and can even help me produce maximum quality vegetables and herbs. I am sharing the lessons when I saw the summer speed acceleration and ignored my garden.
Why is it crowded a problem?
The bed of a newly applied garden may look bare, but all annual vegetables grow rapidly, which completes seeds or transplants from flowers to flowers and produces fruit in a garden season. Therefore, the bare soil you see when planting will disappear quickly. Like any garden plant, vegetables are better in mind, keeping in mind their adult size.
However, you can’t overcome the heat over unexpected rainfall or record, but you can potentially maintain plants in a healthy state so they can tolerate these events. When I failed to thin largely the plants and lost some of the plants’ harvesting, my garden was too crowded, and except for chaos, the symptoms of plant problems began to appear during the late and long heat wave. My sheep -filled plants were not in a healthy state to tolerate the extreme weather. Sheep -filled gardens also encourage insects and disease. I never had much problem of squash bugs, but this year they had many places to hide and they took advantage of the dirt.
Although you can apply a little closer to the garden beds than the rows of the garden, you want to avoid strong plants and prevent other plants from sunlight. With a slow release booster, such as compost tea or fish emulsions, the nutrients will also be needed to be filled, another task that I wore the weather. You can approach the successor of the gardening techniques such as a crowded bed or other small vegetable garden, you can approach success successors. Most of all, refrain from provoking your garden.
Thin vegetable plants.
Healthy plants begin to result in the thinner of leaves. This is especially important when the seeds are sown in small vessels in the house and in the garden for any root crop. If the crowd is, the small plants to grow the resources and roots they need, their main tasks compete for both of them in the early life. Since new plants emerge, I choose people who look the strongest or proposed by an encryption packet as separated from it. And as I learned, even when the space in the design of our raised beds is limited, I need leafy slices, choosing less but healthy crops.
Next year, I will remember to slim my vegetable plants and the following points:
- When sowing small seeds like carrots and lettuce, use the seed tape or DIY spacing method, which will spread the seeds and reduce the need to be thin later.
- Once you can tell which plant looks healthy. Do not walk as much as the emergence of true leaves.
- When the indoor starter thinning the plants in the pots, I cut off unwanted plants above the soil instead of pulling them out to avoid disturbing the small roots of the rest of the plants.
- In beds, use plants to cut small cutting scissors if they are close to someone else, or pull the entire ginner of root crops like carrots. To reduce the disruption of the soil, I held a hand on the soil around the Enkar.
- To feel less sorry about the plants “waste”, enjoy the shoots. Cut and upcoming lettuce plants are useful as a MIC micron of flavoring your lunch salad. You can also provide healthy plants.
Cut tomatoes, especially superstars.
I always increase the crop, I always increase uncertain tomatoes. These plants continue to grow throughout the season (so the term), and this year, I saw their ability to spread in full force. The tomato determination is like a bush and increases in size, usually 4 to 5 feet high. However, their crop period is short (if not valuable) and I prefer fresh tomatoes as far as possible.
They also produce large uncertain tomatoes, which grow from the central trunk inside the leaves of the leaves. The suckers just prepare the leaves, not fruit, so removing them helps to send more energy to flowers and fruits instead of wasting on these barren branches. I did not catch young soldiers when they were formed and it was more difficult to see them. As many suckers grow, they can make the tomato plant umbrella very dense, which can prevent sunlight from fruits, air flow to the leaves, and your eyes deal with problems like horn worms.
Follow these points to control tomato growth.
- To help them use cages or trailizes for all tomato plants (even deploy).
- If you have never been harvested by Socners and needs help in identifying them, this article at Wisconsin Madison University offers a signal and a helpful example.
- Although I remembered many suckers, it is not necessary for every fish to be chosen. Do not suck so many sucks that the umbrella is very open.
- When there is no wound injury, try to take a clean break when pinching.
- I failed to eliminate the branches that touch the ground. , Which increased the likelihood of diseases.
- If you have a limited space, increase the variety of tomatoes only to can -dry or dry fruits. Some gardeners make the long crops of weather a decisive and an uncertain to protect and enjoy.
Control grapes and herbs.
When growing in limited places, it is important to grow vertically when you can. I kept pieces of galvanized horse panels near all previous plants, such as green beans, cucumbers and zucchini, but did not continue their training. Since some, like green beans, grow very closely, many branches wrapped around each other. Like uncertain tomatoes, supporting the straight development of these plants can improve air flow, sun exposure and even fruit shape.
The herbs of the garden also need some harvest to maximize the taste and prevent them from growing into other plants. Basil grows like a small bush, but I am very tall and timber because I did not cut the leaves often. When herbs like basil or mint are allowed to swell, their next step is to make seeds, which can be less, or even bitter, taste. Follow these points to control the wning and bushes:
- Consider the trails placement when planning your garden setting. If the beans full of beans stops the sun too much, it will affect its shade plants.
- DIY is a garden trial that is at a vertical stake with the twins or netting between them at a garden fencing, chicken wire, or vertical stake. Bamboo, PVC, metal groove, and ribber can work in sub -trails design.
- Try to go to the garden at least once a week for herbs and test the formation of flowers at least once a week.
- I put the cutting basil trunks in a bouquet with clean water, removing the lower leaves so that they can rest on the water, until I am ready to use them or make them pesto.
- Some trailing vegetable plants produce large, heavy fruits that the trillions do not support, so you will need to give them a substantial ground.
- Continue with the development of plants by checking the crops and wrapped the grapes around the support every few days.
