Updates on Cabbage.

By geekgardener, on November 2nd, 2009%

Earlier  I Transplanted the cabbages and also blogged about it in this post. I thought I will post a picture or two on their progress. The pictures shown below are 15 days after transplanting. The plants are kept in my east facing balcony.

Here they are.

Since this was in my balcony and away from other plants, there is not much of pests/insects problem.

In the picture below, we can see that the leaves have covered the entire pot. I noticed that this reduces the water loss through evaporation from the soil surface. Again due to the large leaf, water loss through leaf will be more. The dust-bin pot has worked well so far for these cabbages.

This variety is called ‘”Earliana” and is supposed to mature at 60 days from the date of transplanting. Lets see how it fairs..

November – Sowing season

By geekgardener, on November 1st, 2009%

Bangalore is gifted with such a wonderful weather that we stopped waiting for seasons to sow vegetables. We sow them at our will. To some extent it is Ok since most of the veggies grow well round the year in Bangalore. However, for some veggies, it is important you wait for the right season to sow it.

In this post, we shall see the list of vegetables that can be sown in November.

Leafy Vegetables:

  • Palak ( Indian Spinach)
  • Fenugreek(Methi)
  • Lettuce.
  • Coriander.

Gourds:

  • Ash gourd
  • Ride gourd
  • Bottle gourd
  • Sponge gourd
  • Snake gourd
  • Water melon

Root crops:

  • Radish
  • Carrot
  • Beetroot

  • Cabbage
  • Cauliflower
  • Knol Khol

Other Veggies:

Hope this info is useful to all of you who are gardening already and also to those of you who are thinking of starting.
