OKTOBER AANPLANTINGS

Vir diegene wat nog nie hul groente saad geplant het nie, nou is die tyd om in te spring en daardie massa lekker vars groentesade in die tuin te voeg as jy wil lekker eet in die somer.

Die volgende sade kan direk geplant word in die bedding en die maklikste metode om dit te doen, is om ‘n graaf vol goeie kompos op ‘n hopie te gooi en dan 2 – 3 pitte bo op die hopie te plant. Ek pak dan die hopie/bergie se kante toe met strooi en dit beskerm die saad en kompos teen uitdroging.

>Boontjies, rank en bos
>Mielies en soetmielies
>Pampoen en skorsies
>Botterskorsie/butternut
>Murg pampoentjies/baby marrow
>Patty pans
>Komkommer
>Aartappel moere
>Patat ranke
>Waatlemoen
>spanspek

Vir die semi-skaduwee kolle in die tuin kan die volgende oorweeg word:

>Blomkool
>Brokkoli, veral die green sprouting kultivar
>Seldery
>Roket
>Miniatuur spinasie
>kale

Vir die meer sonnige areas kan die volgende saad eers in bakkies geplant word en dan verplant word in die tuin sodra die saailing 4 – 6 blare ontwikkel het.

>Tamaties
>Komkommer
>Spinasie
>Klein kool
>Dill
>Vinkel/fennel
>Slaai
>Basielkruid
>Eiervrug
>Soetrissie en rissies

Lekker plant en onthou om jou grond organismes gereeld te vervang met kompos ekstrak sodat optimale voeding aan die plant besorg kan word. Dit is veral nodig in die begin van aanplanting en wanneer dit baie reën en ook indien die temperature vir lang tye bokant 32 grade Celsius styg. Bedek jou grond met ‘n grondkombers om water te bespaar en die grond organismes te beskerm teen hitte.
