In My Patch gardening

#ad I choose to hand water my veggie garden 99% of the time. 💦 Why? Because not all plants like the same amount of water. Some are thirstier. For example I water my corn and cucumbers more than my tomatoes and beans. 💚 Hand watering means I can control how much water I give each plant type and also can water on the leaves or just the soil. I’ve been using the @Hoselinkofficial retractable hose reels to water my garden for around 3 years now and I love them. 💥 Here’s some occasions when I ONLY water “under” at soil level… 💚 if the plants are susceptible to powdery mildew (tomatoes, cucumbers, melons for example) 💚 if the plant has a disease (some diseases are spread more easily by rain or water) 💚 if I want to be more water wise and mindful or using less water 💦 if you want to use less water then watering at soil level is a good way to go - BUT …. I also like leaving water for insects so a little sprinkle on your leaves on warm days leaves water for the bees and insects too! 🐝 Happy gardening, Sarah 🥂 #inmypatch #veggiegarden #tiktokgarden #gardentok #learntogtow #hoselink #hoselinkaustralia #retractablereels #hoses #watering

Does it matter when you pick your veggies from your garden? Yes ✅ and no ❌ NO, in that your food is still going to be the freshest best tasting food compared to anything you can buy… BUT… If you pick it at the ideal times - you’ll get them at their peak! Nothing better than a warm sweet strawberry from garden! 🍓 #inmypatch #veggiegarden #gardentok #startavegetablegarden #gardentips #growingveggies

If you’re growing a sparse veggie garden with wasted space it’s never going to give you as much back as you put into it! BUT when you do it right your veggie garden pays you back dividends year after year! 🥳 It’s disheartening when you spend money setting up a veggie garden that doesn’t feed you.
