Harvested a good amount of vegetables in December 2020 from my kitchen garden

It is very funny that I am writing this post in the last week of January 2021. Is it not? I mean I totally forgot to write on this topic what I publish every month. It is about my harvested vegetables from my rooftop kitchen garden. I am sharing that every month since last year. But somehow I missed that. But it is better to be late than never. What do you say? I am not too late, haha. It is still January. So I decided to write on this whenever I realized my mistake. Yes, I harvested a decent amount of vegetables in December 2020 too. I got many seasonal vegetables from my rooftop kitchen garden.

Many people think that gardening is difficult. A person needs to deal with the plant’s disease, insects, fertilizers to develop a good garden. Yes, it is but it is true when you want to get the best from your every plant. But it is not true if you want to do it for your happiness then it is very simple.

That is why I follow almost the same care for every plants. It makes gardening very easy. But whenever you want to be an expert and I want to get maximum flowers & fruits from your plants then you will need to take special care of your every plant. You have to make a different potting mix for different plants. Every type of plants will demand different care and that will make you worried.

• So the best trick is – make almost the same potting mix for every plant. You should 30% of compost fertilizer (cow dung compost/vermicompost/kitchen & garden waste compost) in your potting mix.
• You should use one or two fungicides (organic/chemical) & one or two pesticides (organic/chemical) what will make your plants disease free as well as harmful insects free. So try some available fungicides & pesticides during your initial days of gardening and pick the best options for your garden.

In case you want to apply chemical NPK fertilizer then you should choose any balanced NPK like 18:18:18 or 19:19:19 or 20:20:20 as well as balanced micronutrients because you do not know what exactly your plant demand. If you want to apply different nutrients for every plant then you will definitely make mistakes because gardeners are not always an expert and secondly they always want to keep multiple types of plants in the same garden.

I also have atleast 12 types of different vegetable plants in my rooftop garden. I have sheem (sem phali/hyacinth beans), tomato, French bean, radish, capsicum, chilli, brinjal, coriander, bitter gourd, onion, culantro, kadi patta, bottle gourd ete plants
