Be Careful Where to Throw Your Seeds...

in #homesteading5 years ago

...they might grow where you don't want them. Or you can just transplant them where you want them. Sounds easy isn't it? Best to do a bit of research on this please as I am honestly not sure.

The driveway around our house wsn't concrete, till we decided to lessen the dust going in the house and had it cemented. The decision to leave a bit of soil between the porch sort of give us a nearer plot to plant anything, this will warrant an easier option from the kitchen, rather than go out to the backyard and pick what we want from there.

This left us about one by four meters of soil to play with, surrounded by concrete. At some point in January, i happily have thrown some leftover seeds from a watermelon and a plain melon all over it, hoping that some of them will grow. At some point in time, some dried paragis flowers went into the mix as well. This as an experiment as I wanted to grow some paragis around the garden.

In the beginning, there were a couple of two-three clusters that i thought I will just leave them where they are. Probably a bad idea as they grow, more and more baby seedlings started to come out all in that small space. To remove a couple will involve a lot of seedlings, too young to re-plant.

But in hindsight, perhaps sacrificing a few will give a bit of space to those who are maturing where they are? Looking at these lot, even I can't breathe seeing that there's no space visible. I still water them but crossing my fingers that some main stems get watered.

I have lost the plot to remedy it.

These two vines have sneaked in between the rails and the plan there is just to let them come in and remedy the fruits once they're bigger. I have put some wooden planks that enclosed the soil, rather than let them crawl towards the concrete driveway.

As for my paragis, there are two growth so that is a success.

That’s awesome, you have a little food forest going on in the grass, how nice. Looks like things are doing well too. I had to google lansones after reading your post yesterday as did not know what they were... they look very interesting and very tasty. A relative of the mahogany tree too interestingly. Have a great day my friend. 💚💚

Now that you're saying it yeah, they look similar. Lansones trees aren't found in our place but mahogany are as they're used for furnitures.

That forest have now tomato-sizes of watermelons...shame am leaving in 2 wks.

True! Although they don't always grow regardless of where we plant them☺
