About that planning, my exp is - every year is different. There are patterns, yes, but it is all very dependent on how the weather evolves and also how well the soil is fertilized. You can do things the same way and get quite different outcomes every year. Little tragedies and happy accidents, often both at the same time 🀷🏻.

The learning never stops.

That might be true! I will experience that over the next years :p

Preparing the seeds at the right time for the first time was most difficult for me! I was a little late for some.

Growing + learning and it’s always fascinating πŸ’š thank you πŸ€—

How do you fertilize? I just threw some compost when planting and did not fertilize after that

Compost is gold... erm bitcoi... eh... compost is great. Each plant needs a bit different fertilizers, but compost is almost universal. Some plants don't like too much of it (like parsley) but not many. You can plant zuccini or tomatos directly into pure compost and it works great.

Some use commercial fertilizers to add since the blooming starts. But you can add a bit more compost instead... like every two weeks? Bird, cow, horse poop is the most typical, just make sure your plant likes it. You can buy it in a concentrated form too.

I'm an amateur, so watch some videos and read article or two about growing what you grow.

It also depends on how fertile is your soil, that differs a lot.

Also it sometimes takes about one season to insects/fungi etc to adapt to what you're growing, so the first season can be great and the the next one maybe less so.

Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge with me! Luckily there is much information out there in the web! 🌱 getting some random information here is great too! And we learn, compost is bitcoin! :D I really had to laugh πŸ˜‚

thanks for the ⚑️ zaps!
