1. Soil preparation:
Ploughing the soil is the first important step in preparing the garden for the growing season. To achieve the best results, you need:
- Cleaning Weeds and Residues: Before starting to plow the soil, remove weeds, stones and old crop residues. This helps the soil to be better prepared and reduces competition with new plants.
- Plow the land: Use a shovel or plow to plow the soil to a depth of about 20-30 cm. Ploughing the soil helps to loosen the soil, enhance drainage, and provide oxygen to the root system of plants.
- Manure: Once plowing is complete, add compost or manure to provide the plants with the nutrients they need. Mix the fertilizer evenly into the soil to improve soil quality.
2. Grow vegetables:
Once the soil is ready, you can start growing vegetables. The steps include:
- Planning: Determine the type of vegetables you want to grow and plan their layout. Make sure you have chosen a variety of vegetables that are suitable for the climate and soil conditions of the area where you live.
- Sowing Seeds or Transplanting Seedlings: If growing from seeds, sow the seeds in pre-dug grooves, according to the distances and depths indicated on the seed packaging. If planting seedlings, dig a hole large enough for the seedlings to easily grow and place the plant in the hole and fill it with soil.
- Watering: Immediately after planting, water gently to help the seeds or seedlings stabilize and begin to grow. Make sure the soil always retains just the right amount of moisture but doesn't get waterlogged.
3. Care and Monitoring:
After planting, care work is very important to ensure healthy plant growth:
- Regular watering: Depending on the type of plant and weather conditions, water regularly to keep the soil moist. Avoid overwatering so as not to flood the soil.
- Trimming and Working with Weeds: Remove weeds to reduce competition for nutrition and light. Depending on the type of vegetable, you may also need pruning for the plant to grow better.
- Fertilization and Pest Treatment: Apply additional fertilizer if needed and inspect the plant regularly for pests and diseases. Use appropriate treatment to protect crops.
4. Wait for development:
The growth of the crop requires time and patience. In the meantime:
- Track Growth: Record plant growth to monitor changes and adjust care if necessary.
- Patient: Wait patiently for the vegetables to grow. Some vegetables can take weeks or even months to mature and can be harvested.
5. Harvesting:
Once the vegetables have reached the desired size and maturity, you can start harvesting:
- Timely harvest: Harvest vegetables when they reach their optimal size to ensure the best flavor and quality.
- Preserve: After harvesting, store vegetables properly to preserve their freshness and nutritional value.
