Garden time!Its time to get hands dirty and get serious about growing our food again. Its a bit early to fertilize, plants are still a bit stressed from the heat and are putting resources into respiration. But it is a good time to get a jumpstart on the greatest time for a Texan wanting to garden, the FALL GARDEN!! Here are a few things that I'm starting now,in not-to-sunny spots. I try and put these guys, especially the leafy guys, in the shade of a summer veg like the okra.
Chard (from plant)
beans (from seed)
cauliflower (plant)
broccoli (plant)
kale (plant)
collards (plant)
kohlrabi (plant)
cucumbers (seed or plant)
summer squash (seed or plant)
carrots (seed)
I like to lightly fertilize when everything is germinating.
ReplyDeletebut not with a nitrogen count above 3 or 4. Liquid seaweed is a good root shock preventer and light fertilizer. Also good for heat resistance.
