I want to explan simple way that how we caring for zucchini and sunflowers !

Zucchini: We plant zucchini in feild having well quilty fertile soil and well-draining feild in a sunny spot . After growing we water the feild regularly , for keeping it moist . We fertilize crope every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer for high eilding . We check crope for pests like aphids and squash bugs . If their is any atteck we spary it .

Sunflowers: We Plant sunflower seeds in fertile soil with good drainage feild along with zucchini . We choosen a sunny location for both crope . We water it consistently , keeping the soil moist . We also add a balanced fertilizer every few weeks for healthy crope . We also support taller sunflowers with stakes if needed to prevent them from bending . We spray for pests like aphids if they attecked .

Harvest system

Zucchini plants produce tasty squash that you can harvest when when they grow 6-8 inches . Now a days its is its harvest season . Check the plants and gently twist the zucchinis which are grow fully cut off from stem. Sunflowers when grow fully fill with edible seeds .

The time of harvest sunflower is when the flower's center turns brown and the back of the head turns yellow . When is ready to harvest then we cut the head , leave some stem . After that we left it to dry then rub the seeds out .

What steps did you take to overcome crop failure.

To prevent crop failure in zucchini and sunflowers , we concentrate on factors affecting growth of crop . We make proper feild preparation with adequate nutrients and drainage . We watering crop properly avoiding overwatering or underwatering . We prevent crop from pests by introducing natural predators or using organic solutions .

We observe weather conditions or and provided protection from extreme temperatures and from cold . We regularly check plants for signs of disease or stress and take prompt action when needed .

How much it costs

The cost depend on how much fertilizer or pasticide is used for crop and also water . Here i want to mention some of my basic investment on my plantion .
