Back to gardening topics, here is a quick post.
The week after leaving from Tokyo I had sown some lettuce and some komatsuna. I was wondering if it would be able to sprout since those days the weather just started to change, luckily they came out just some days before I left. Right now they continue to grow nicely.
I went a little crazy putting to many seeds on the planter, and now I have too many plants, so I will have to thin them out when I get back, but I think is better to have too many plants than less. I hope they keep on surviving these days.
The only problem is that I'm not sure how to do that, should i just pluck out some? or, is there any special method? any suggestions?
Also, I'm still trying to get around the garden here, I will probably do some work this week.

Komatsuna sprouts

The lettuce and the komatsuna keep on growing nice, a bit too many though

When thinning, you can just pull out the seedlings you don't want, or you can snip them off with a pair of scissors, that way you don't disturb the roots of the plants you are leaving to grow. They look to be growing nice and strong.
ReplyDeleteI have raised Komatsuna in my garden.
ReplyDeleteYour planter looks too crowded and I think you'd better thin out smaller sprouts in order to raise bigger and much delicious komatsuna.
In my case I'd thinned out some sprouts and I made about 1 or 2inch space between them.
I'm looking forward to the progress of your lettuce sprouts. With such a small space to work with, you're really good at growing a variety of things!
