Over20 Vegetables, That Thrive In Minimal Sunlight

There are many plants out there. And if you're like me, you're chomping at the bit to find space for them if you're in a small place where putting it in the yard may not be an option. Or it doesn't seem to be. Who ever knew?? There are more than 20 vegetables that thrive pretty well in little sunlight. The list is very large. There is  Celery, Broccoli, Lettuce, Spinach, and even Cherry Tomatoes!! And many more too. Asparagus is a little slower to start, but once it does there are many happy returns,as this fella will give over, and over.

There are several different options you can choose for growing. But if you have very little space, then perhaps using some creativity and growing upward will help in a small arrangement. If you have time there are suggestions on a good seed raising mix which I think you'll find interesting. What you want for growing vertical is anything that goes up. Anything at all. It can be an old mail holder, or stackable wooden boxes. Just angle them to give each plant a little room to get past the other one.

In the south it can become sweltering hot.This can be very stressful for some plants. But there are very educated people who spend days with plants, and can offer very good assistance with your garden. I have some but there are others who have had the pleasure of being around plants a lot more than me at this time. 

If you don't have much room, I would imagine that you are probably looking towards something on the shorter, more bushy side to save space, or perhaps something tall, but not too tall, which stands up straight. The list goes on quite a way. Designing your own little vegetable plant area wether you're in a small space, or not can be a bit of a task, but can be done. You'll just have to be creative and try to think of something unique. 

Take an old pair of pants, and cut them into long shorts, then tie them and line them with a little bit of plastic wrap for protection in case of drainage, then fill with soil, and voila! You have a planter. Anything that will hold a plant can be used, and the great thing is that there are over twenty which grow in little sunlight. There are even some that take very little care and they grow and grow.

There are many delicious dishes which can be made with herbs and vegetables we really aren't very familiar with. It would be a great idea to try to plant something new, and experiment with the garden.

I hope you enjoyed this article has been as enjoyable for you to read, as it has been for me to research.
Have fun gardening!

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
