Taking stock at half-time
Which plants are doing well? Which ones are struggling? What are the reasons for this?
The gardening season is in full swing. Most of your work is done and you can take time to observe your garden and see how your plants are doing.
Location
Location factors such as soil, light, temperature and wind influence plant development. If your plant is sick or growing poorly, compare the site conditions with the needs of your plant and adjust them individually.
The first plants start to flower
Spinach, radishes and some lettuces tend to sprout and form flowers in summer when the days get longer again. They then become inedible for consumption, but are beautiful to look at and provide food for insects.
