A month and three weeks ago, I showed my backyard vegetable garden.
It is just a very small area.
I planted some strawberries. Do you think I provided adequate space for sprawling? I thought I did, but it doesn't look like it. LOL!
I do not know if it will help, but I placed some netting over the strawberries. It is supposed to prevent the birds or other animals from eating the fruits.
Corn is wind-pollinated. They said that it is best to plant them in blocks rather than in a single row, This is to ensure a good transfer of pollen to the silks.
That is what I did.
And to the left of the corn are three little plants of peppers. Do you see it?
As you can see, I have rock-hard clay and sand that lack nutrients. The ideal soil for a vegetable garden is loose, loamy soil. I can supplement the soil with organic matter to provide the ideal growing environment. But right now... I just want to plant!
If in case you are wondering what that plant is in the very front... it is called Society Garlic or Tulbaghia Violacea.
The blossoms have a pleasant scent, but when the leaves or rhizomes are crushed, they smell strongly of garlic. Leaves and flowers can be used to salads and soups since they are both edible.

I hope to see you again soon!
