RE: 🌺 SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge - June 2019 (With Steem-Bounty)

in #homesteading6 years ago

You went into the hospital twice? I hope you're doing fine again now?!
I still have a couple of tomato plants that need some replanting urgently. A melon plant too. But I'm still a bit hesitant, because the problem has gotten worse these last couple of days. I keep them aside as a backup, in case things start to go wrong qgain. But I can't keep them in those tiny post forever...

If my crops would grow like the weeds are growing, they would all have matured by now, lol

Sort:  

That doesn't sound good.
Tomato plants can be kept in pots but the melon?

The weeds grow no matter what. Start thinking there must be a reason for that.🤔

I believe the weeds that grow in your garden are not only indicator plants for your garden, but also for yourself.
A simple example: in natural medicine, dandelions are used to protect the liver. I have a lot of those in the garden, and it is true that my liver needs some detoxing urgently. It may sound silly, but I've done some basic research on it, and in many cases the weeds often mirror a person's needs.

Meanwhile, I took the risk and planted the melon. At first, it looked like it wasn't going to make it, but this morning I noticed it has grown and looked good.
The tomatoes in my raised beds have started to grow tiny tomatoes, and I haven't found any leaves with signs of infection in days.

Now the next problem arises: what to do with the spare tomato plants? I don't have the heart to throw away a healthy plant, so i guess i'll be replanting them in bigger pots and we'll be eating tomato sauce all winter long 😉

I find it hard to say if it is true about the weeds. What I have over here is even forbidden like ragweed and comes from the field of the farmers as well (cannabis and tobacco). I really don't need that.
The polls are already in the air since weeks and cause us allergies. We have to mow before it starts blooming.

Thanks to the dogs and heath grass etc easily does too, weeds are way stronger.

Great so far what you planted is not infected 👍

I would not throw away the plants either. I love tomato juice and tomato soup and tomato salad as well 😁💖

I've decided to set up another raised bed in the green house and plant them anyway. I've already thrown away so many plants this season, I'm not going to throw away two healthy ones. I guess we might throw a Bloody Mary cocktail party in September 😆

Simply give it a try. Bloody Mary party sounds great 👍🏻

It does, right?! 😉
