Working with my plants

I bought about 20 sacks of soil; my substrate supplier brought them to me. He also brought me four sacks of wood ash, three sacks of dry sticks, and a sack of coconut fiber.

I renewed the soil in the recycled rubber pots; I removed the old soil and found a bunch of ginger and a few pieces of turmeric still in the soil. I know I lost the harvest, as I was unable to harvest in December, as I do every year. So, I put them back in the new, loosened soil, and I hope to see the shoots come to the surface in a few weeks. This time, I will keep an eye on the plants and harvest them on time.

The substrate for the lilies was also removed. Now I have to wait for all these bulbs to sprout again and bring me back my beautiful white lilies. There are many bulbs, and they are very docile, so I think they will all activate again.

There are about 10 lemon plants. I had to move them to larger black bags, renew the substrate, prune them, and wait for them to get stronger.

I transplanted the cucumber sprouts into black bags; these three will become very leafy. They really like the substrate I have put them in. I have tried it before. As they grow, I will transplant them into larger containers and, when necessary, I will give them stakes to climb on. This way, the cucumbers on the stakes will develop and grow more freely than if they were tangled on the ground.

I still have some tomato and pepper transplants to do, but I've run out of prepared substrate. I'll have to wait until next Monday to mix some more for myself.

Until the next update from my garden.
