Hello Hive
Just withing 6 days this planted veggies has witnessed some impressive growth. From increasing in height to about 4X it's formal height and now the growth of new leaves
This must really be some good specie of my newly planted pumpkins.
This was the height 6 days ago when i had planted it.
It is exactly 6 days since I bought some new seedlings to plant in a sack here. I have been satisfied about last year's pumpkin growth and how much it was beneficial for us until the former plant eventually died from lack of water.
The dry season caught up with it, and I was equally busy at the hospital to keep it alive with manual wetting. Since those ones were done with, I decided to plant new seeds.
This is such an important vegetable that we must always have it around us due to its PCV and blood-boosting capacity. I don't mind eating these vegetables in every kind of meal I prepare, and I remember how I was so healthy and chubby as a child when my mum was consistently feeding me with it.
The root was begining to get exposed so I covered it so I covered it with more sand before wetting it.
I really do wish to have it close by at all times. I got some newer seedlings a few days ago, and since I'm not sure of their species, I decided to plant just one and see if it will be good enough and equally survive.
It's been 6 days since I planted these, and I'm really surprised at how well these have adapted to the new environment. Planting it in a sack is really important as the ground here is really shallow with not enough soil for the root of the pumpkins to grow deep into the soil.
I was really happy that I learned how to grow some tubers and veggies like this in a sack where soil is not too available; that would have been a total hindrance towards me growing these. Last year I had some positive outcomes growing some tubers and this veggie in the sack; hence I find this to be a good opportunity.
Having this gotten itself well planted in less than 6 days is a positive sign, and I hope that this will do well. After successfully transplanting, the daily routine of wetting this twice a day must be kept as a custom, and even after these become well rooted, we have to keep wetting them since it is a dry season we are in.
I am beginning to see how these are growing out leaves one after the other, and I'm impressed with this really fast growth. Since this is a good seedling, I would purchase one or two more and add it to this place so that when these plants are well grown, we can have as much of the veggies to cover this place.
