Trees and plants is what keeps us alive, they give us air. So that is why if you walk through the forest your probably not going to have an asthma attack! Thats why i go against people cutting down trees, but what can you do about that?
I am only a beginner gardener but i am starting understand how fun and important gardening is.
So far i have got potted plants, soon i will have a really big veggie garden on my 10 acre land.
I have got snow pea plants and coriander plants and also as a gift i got a venus flytrap.
the snow pea plant.
It all depends on how much water you put, the regular standard of water that you should put for the plant is half a cup of water, but if you put a little more it should be fine. The more water the faster the plant grows, but you have to be extremely carful not to put to much. Snow peas start off in a 4 inch pot. The plant starts to grow with in 1-3 weeks(says the professionals)but mine started to grow in 5-8 days! people say when it get to 30 cm, that you should move it out on the pot and move it in to a larger pot. But should only happen if there are to many sprouts, then move it in to an 6 inch pot, then keep increasing it by 2. Once the plant is half a meter then it is probably a good idea to move it the garden bed. Snow pea plants grow EXTREMELY fast, and also die EXTREMELY fast. So plant your peas in late Autumn or early Winter. The pea plant is a crazy plant,it likes the sun, but it does not need to much of it. A sine of the plant having to much sun is it slowly withers away and get yellow. but they also cant have to much water then they will slowly start to die.
These plants are creepers, so if they start to lean over then it means they need a stake. Once you cant find more stakes you should move it to a cage. I call this method the creeper cage. it is fairly easy and it also means you wont have to buy stakes every two weeks!! All you have to do is find a cage that would fit a pet mouse in it, then get rid of two sides so it is hollow then place the pot in side, Have you noticed how the plant has log strings on the top of the plant? those are soon going to grow thick soon.
but if the remaining stake is shorter and does not reach the top of the cage then keep the stake, but wind the long strings around the to of the cage to boost the creeping stage. for more ideas on the creeper cage look at the next page and there should be some more tips and ideas.
