Vegetable Tending

Here are tips that we use when Vegetable Tending?

- Location (Most vegetables need full sun to grow well, but some like salad leaves and herbs, do better in partial shade)

- Soil (Prepare the soil by removing weeds and adding compost or manure. Well-rotted compost can improve any soil type, and you can add a layer of 5–15 cm each year)

- Watering (Water seeds regularly, and water once a week after they germinate, providing about 1 inch of water)

- Thinning (Thin plants out that were planted too close together within two weeks of planting)

- Weeding (Keep the area free of weeds)

- Spacing (Follow the space guidance on the seed packet)

- Protection (Use physical barriers to deter slugs and snails)

- Harvesting (Plant new rows of root seeds successively to ensure a continuous harvest)

- Tracking (Keep record sheets of seed starts to track the date something was seeded, when it emerged, and when it was transplanted)
