Gardens gone wild
So, did you or anyone you know start a garden when COVID-19 hit?
If so, you were one of many trying to be proactive as grocery stores were running low on essential foods. When I walked into the grocery store, my reaction was…WHAT-THE-WHAT?!
But now what?
Has your garden gone wild?
No need to fret. You can save your garden, grow beautiful, healthy veggies and fruit, and enjoy harvest after harvest. I can help you do that.
First, I need to know what your soil is like? What type of soil did you use to begin with. Believe it or not, it makes a HU-NORMOUS difference (I know it’s not a word but it is now…heehee).
Soil is one of the three components of the garden.
The other two are water and sun. Which leads me to my next question - where did you place your garden? For plants to grow properly, they need access to at least 6 hours of uninterrupted sunlight.
Last question…
…how much or how little were you able to water the garden. Yes, overwatering is possible and deadly to plants. It causes root rot; when roots sit in water they start to become mush and the plants die.
On the flippity flop, if plants are not watered enough, they dry out and die. Imagine if you didn’t drink water. I mean, even less than I do (which is very little…I know, I know), your body would begin to shut down. It is the same for plants, they need enough water to survive.
You can save your garden, it will just take a few steps to do so.
Use or replenish your garden with great, organic soil.
If the garden is not in a place that receives full sun, relocate it.
Water the garden when the soil feels dry. Stick you finger is the soil to make the decision to water or not to water…that really is THEE question.
BONUS: Make sure you are planting in season!
BONUS 2: Make sure all the plants have enough room to grow.
