โœ… Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

  1. Overwatering
    โž Leads to root rot
    โž Water only when the topsoil feels dry
  2. Insufficient Sunlight
    โž Weak growth
    โž Ensure at least 6 hours of sun daily
  3. Excess Fertilizer
    โž Excess nitrogen leads to lush leaves but few fruits
    โž Follow recommended feeding schedules
  4. Overcrowding Plants
    โž Poor airflow and humidity buildup
    โž Stick to proper spacing guidelines
  5. Not Training Vines
    โž Fruits touch ground and rot
    โž Use supports for tomatoes and cucumbers

๐ŸŒž Seasonal & Regional Tips

  • Spring: Start tomatoes and peppers indoors. Prep soil for transplant.
  • Summer: Peak harvest timeโ€”focus on consistent watering and pest control.
  • Fall: Continue picking cucumbers; remove spent foliage, prep soil for winter.
  • Winter (in Constantine): Clean up garden, amend soil with compost, plan next season.

For container gardeners, choose large pots (15โ€ฏL+), ensure good drainage, and provide sturdy supports.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tools & Materials Checklist

  • Garden spade and hoe
  • Trowel and planting dibber
  • Watering can or drip system
  • Stakes, cages, or trellis
  • Organic compost or worm castings
  • Measuring spoons or cups for feeding mix

A: Yes, it works well for roses, fruit trees, brassicasโ€”just watch for residue on leaves.

Q: What fertilizer is best for cucumbers?
A: A high-potassium feed supports vines and fruit development during flowering.

Q: How do I avoid fungal problems?
A: Keep soil moist (not wet), water at the base, mulch surface, and spray your natural mix preventatively.

Q: Can I grow in containers?
A: Absolutelyโ€”choose large pots, train plants vertically, and use quality organic soil.
