Episode 8 of three Minute Monday

Episode 8 of three Minute Monday is ready for your viewing. Today we're planting sunflower seeds.

Riveting, I know!

Who doesn't love a nice corner of sunflowers in Summer? Well, now's the time to get started and plant your seeds. Here's how.


C is for Carrots

Spring, a great time to plant carrots. And the only way to grow carrots is by planting seeds. Here are a few ideas to help you get off to a good start. #carrots #howtogrowcarrots #organicgardening 📫 Like to sponsor my next video? Let me know here. ssjdmb@hotmail.com 📫 Got a question or suggestion? Let me know here. ssjdmb@hotmail.com Below is a copy and paste from garden.passion_ig on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/garden.pass... A) Avoid transplanting . B) Sow seed directly in the soil . C) Provide a rock and clay free soil . D) Provide a soft light soil enriched with mineralised organic matter . E) Eliminate obstacles in the soil. Carrots are selfish, greedy and unsociable. They want the soil all to themselves and do not want competition or obstacles. They want to grow fast without hindrance. Any slight disturbance as they dig deeper into the topsoil makes them very very angry . F) Ensure the growing medium is very deep. Any stress or space restrictions experienced by the taproot as it grows vertically will cause immediate deformity . G) Avoid heavy or high-pressure watering until at least they’ve reached a strong seedling stage. Overzealous watering prior to germination is one good reason to displace the volatile seeds and cause them to grow very close to each other . H) Protect the growing medium from animals and birds digging or foraging in the soil. Carrot seeds are notoriously slow to germinate and often they end up displaced growing anywhere bar the position you had initially planned or intended for . I) Give it room to grow. If possible, isolate one seed. You can alternatively create trenches and sprinkle a sand-filled container containing the carrot seeds but you will still probably need to thin them out later as they grow . 💘 Follow @garden.passion_ig for more 😉
