Healthy planting of the ¨zapallito¨ ¨tronco¨ (Our actions have an impact on the environment)

Hello hivianos; Welcome to the "lovers" of "healthy" agriculture; I am very happy to know that more and more people start their gardens, and grow their own food in a healthy way, that means that we are reducing the purchases of vegetables from large farmers, who use unhealthy processes for the fruits and the ¨ environment

I witnessed for many years my Mother's struggle to maintain the old planting traditions, and to reject chemicals; This is the reason for maintaining our old habits of healthy planting. In my sowing procedures it is all natural, and by hand, as my ancestors did. It is to remind them that our small actions, no matter how minimal, have an impact on the "environment" or "environment".

I am not writing as much as I wish about our garden, other activities consume a lot of our time; So I'm not sure if you remember that I have committed to let you know the progress of the planting of our ¨zapallos¨¨troncos¨

As I anticipated, after a few days the first plants began to be seen, a few days later we are in a position to continue with the process; Today I want to show you how we do to move the plants that came out overgrown, since you will remember that we have put several "seeds" in a single hole.

As usually happens, some plants did not come out, it is there where we are going to move those that are very close together, it is the reason to plant several together, and relocate them later according to growth; The procedure is very simple, you just have to be careful not to damage the “roots”.

We are going to weed a little away from the plants, we will move the "earth" well so that it is easier to remove the plant

With great care we are going to separate the plants and prepare them for relocation; In my case, I am going to place them in those places where the plants have not grown.

We are going to make a hole of a necessary depth so that the roots are comfortable, once inside the plants we cover with enough “soil”, applying a slight pressure to keep the plant in a good position; This step of the process is very simple as you could see.

Once we have relocated all the plants, we are going to carry out a good “hydration”, very important at this stage of the planting; At this stage the plants need a lot of care, especially in "hydration", it is to be expected that some of them do not exceed this.

The procedure we have done is very simple and important for the development of the plants, now it only remains for the flowers to start to come out, there, we are going to do the watering to strengthen their roots, but for that we must wait a few days.
