Namaste!

About 5 days after sowing the carrot seeds, I also sowed radish seeds in a similar homemade grow bag. They germinated in about 4 days only and today it has been almost 25 days since they are slowly growing beautifully.

I have already told you about their germination, and today I am going to share with you things related to their growth and care!

Initially, I thought that 100% of my radish seeds had germinated and this would have been no doubt an amazing thing but as the tiny sprouts grew a little, I realized that only one seed out of a few pairs had germinated and one spot in the entire grow bag was completely empty because none of the 2 seeds sown there had germinated.

Then after a few more days, when all the other sprouts in the grow bag had started developing true leaves, a tiny sprout came out of the soil in that empty space. But it looked so weak and sick that for a moment I thought of uprooting and throwing it away.

You can see that the process of formation of cotyledon has not happened properly and it is somehow growing in a half-hearted manner.

Usually people who grow a crop for business would uproot this sick seedling without even thinking twice, which would be right in a way because it is possible that it would remain weak like this throughout its journey. But I do gardening for my mental peace and personal consumption, so I thought why not give it an equal chance to grow along with all the other seedlings?

So, despite germinating a little late and growing slowly, this little plant has successfully grown both its cotyledons and apart from its slow growth, I don't see any other problem in it. And in all the other plants, true leaves have also started growing big.

Winter has already arrived here, So I water them only once a week and since sunlight also has its own importance and the sun shines less during winters, I have specifically kept this grow bag at a place that gets more sunlight.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the best fertilizers in this. Since the plants are planted in pots and not in any field, now instead of adding NPK-rich fertilizer in the soil mix, I can mix NPK powder in water and give it to the plant.

Currently, the growth of the plants is looking good and thankfully, there are no insects on them at the moment, so hopefully, this journey will continue to flourish with such beauty and good health. :)

I hope you liked my gardening and Phone Photography!😊
