"SEC | S20W5:"Planting & Care"

I live in Pakistan and Pakistan has a diverse variety of climate.There are all four seasons which are summers,winters, spring and autumn comes in Pakistan.If I talk about planting times that are best then I can't generally say about every crop here but suppose if I say that I want to grow tomatoes and cucumbers then summers would be best time to grow that crop.

You can sow tomatoes and cucumber crops in February,March and can obtain your yield in month of October or September.Tomatoe and cucumbers both and juicy are both requirements are good heat and light which can be obtained when there are summers that's why this is best time to grow this crop in Pakistan.

If you want to have a good survival of plant you have planted or you want to see it growing as well as you want to see environmental benefits then you should focus on planting trees at right place and right place can be that in which there is reduced erosion of soil, enhanced biodiversity, enhanced quality of soil and water,can give cool environment or shade, supportive for wildlife etc.

Trees should be planted preferably in;

• Lots that are empty.
• In park or garden.
• Along highways.
• At riverbanks.
• At schoolyard or backyard.
• At lands that are deforested.

If you are planning to implant any plant then definitely without proper understanding you shouldn't go for this.First of all you should know about some of essential fertilizers for preparing soil so that after you plant it may give you certain benefits.I am going to share a list of organic fertilizers that you can use for preparation of soil.

• Compost is first of all n organic fertilizer which contains a lot of essential nutrients for providing good structure to soil.
• Manure is another organic fertilizer which is important if you really want to plant in fertile soil and if you want to increase growth of good microbes in soil.
• Bone meal is another organic fertilizer that makes roots stronger as it contains phosphorus.

If you are using any pesticides or fungicides then you should keep in mind the following things before using them;

• Read instructions written at packing of pesticides or fungicide you are using.
• Wear proper gloves and mask to protect yourself from any allergy.
• Test at small area rather than applying it on whole crop.
• Apply at affected area and when weather is calm(Not in ful hot nor in ful cold)
• Don't over spray chemicals (Apply in required quantity).
