Time To Play with Soil - My Homestead
Its been a year since I last played with soil. Now the time has came again to have myself get bit dirty again.
So those who are aware and to tjose who are not. I have a small garden in my backyard. Which we use to produce vegetable self consumption...yesss..wevare not into sellling yet.
As you see my backyard is full of mango tress. We have 8 difderent variety of mango trees. After this year rainfall, all my backyard was covered with unwanted weeds and grasses. So first tough task was to get rid of those and plough up the soil to sow some vegetables. With the help of a localites, I manage to clear my garden and plough up the soil with manual spade.
Thanks to the guy at the extreme end, who helped me a lot with my work. Getting the entire area cleaned and ploughing up is not been possible without the guy. He also manages to make different section in the soil for sowing different vegetables. And we are ready with our first sapling of the year.
We started with planting Green Chilies, that is the one which is easily available. We choose two soil partition for growing chillies, with tye help of a rod, we made few holes in the soil at equal distances. Then we sow these sapling on each of the hole one by one.
In other sections we sowed, Peas, Spinach , Black Grams. And few are still vacant to plant, Tomatoes, Brinjal and Cauliflower. We are waiting to get plant sapling by tomorrow to get them planted . I will definately bring the update later on as these take some shapes.
I spent my entire sunday in my backyard for my Homestead Farming. Pretty much enjoyed playing with soil. Though I have not managed entire photographs as I was quite enjoying playing with Soil. What would be better #sublimesunday than this. Hope you all enjoyed it too.
Stay Calm....

For spinach the temperature in your area is good ? I had tried to have them in kerala and it didn’t really work well ... I think spinach is a good choice in our area as it’s quite rare here and can be sold as exotic vegetable

Last year we had it inn our garden...in coming months...the local vendors use to sell spinach at very low price due to sufficient availiability..so i think temperarure is good. ....we do not farm for selling but yes quite enjoy growing them farm

Hard work always pays off. I am sure you will have an excellent harvest 😊
Hoping for it @starjewel.... We have big trees around the boundary wall and outside as well....so lack of sunlight may spoil many prodices
