Hello...man its been ages since I last posted...sorry about that! School holidays have been crazy busy! So I thought since I started to talk about gardening a post or 2 ago I would share with you a few tips that I have picked up so far.... These have to do with watering: 1. Water consistently – In the afternoons after the school run around 3pm I water my veggie garden before I go inside. This is ideal for Spring and Summer after a long day in the sun they will want a drink to see them thru the night. But for Autumn and Winter I water them at 9am after the morning school run. It’s best to water your veggies in the morning during these seasons bc the damp cold night air will cause your plants to rot! 2. Water less – if you are watering consistently you don’t need to drown them in water. A light to medium watering is all you need *except lettuce be sure you give lettuce extra water – this keeps them from tasting bitter. 3. Water the soil NOT the leaves of the plants – it’s the roots that need the water they supply all the leaves need to produce your crops. Watering the soil will reduce the risk of disease and foliage rot.
