Garden Affair : How I Grew Vegetables in 45 degree Celsius

 

This year summer was very harsh , the constant heat waves made it strenuous task to take  care of  Garden . The temperature above 45 degree Celsius  and concurrent heat waves   made it unattainable task to get summer harvest  . My  prime concern was  to protect plants from wilting by heat waves. It was astonishing that somehow with few measures taken by my side and with the grace of  Nature God  my Garden  bestowed me with  summer Harvest.

For soil preparation u need porous soil u'll require                                                                                 

- Garden soil, 60%

Plantation :

Green leafy vegetables like Fenugreek,Spinach,coriander and others are directly sown in places or even in shallow planters since they have small roots.                                                                        

Carrots ,Radish,beetroot,turnip and all other edible root vegetables require deep containers to       propagate itself and are sown directly .                                                                                   

Peas,Beans,Tomatoes,Eggplant,Green chilli,capsicum and alike vegetables can be sown at a place then further transplanted according to your space within germination.
