Garden journal – December 2020 part 2

In the second part of December, I started my warm season plants. I planted seeds of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.

  • Tomato,peppers and eggplant seeds

I also transplanted my 2 globe artichoke plants into 1 gallon pots.

  • Artichoke seedlings

This month was it was guava month, which was the most abundant of all fruits. So it was the perfect time to try guava jam, which came out very flavorful!

Transplanting trees into pots – March 21 2020

Today’s projects were:

  • harvest the radishes next to the cherry tomato and plant new ones.
  • transplant loquat trees into bigger pots
  • transplant a guava tree from the ground into pot
  • plant dill

I removed all the radishes that were growing next to the red cherry tomato plant and I planted a new variety.

I had a few loquat trees growing into small pots, but since I didn’t have space for them in the garden, I neglected them and they didn’t grow much. I recently saw a video about growing trees in containers and loquat and guava were among the trees that do well in containers, so I decided to give it a try.

I used the mix that I had left from the one that I prepared on March 7, as showed in this post, and transferred the loquats into 5 gallon pots.

I added the starter fertilizer and earthworm castings to the mix.

I had a small guava tree growing right next to a pomegranate tree, but I could not let them grow that close to each other. Because of the space limitation in my garden, I moved the guava into a 5 gallon pot.

The dill that I planted in December didn’t do well, so I planted more seeds today.
