🌱 Natural Farming: Welcome to My Green Corner!
Hello to all nature and gardening lovers! Welcome back to the blog. Today, I want to share with you a big step in my natural garden. As you can see in the first photo, things had gotten a little out of control under the metal arch. It was a truly "wild" sector, full of weeds, dry leaves, and tangled climbing plants. You could almost not see the red tiled floor!
I decided it was time to intervene, but always respecting the natural cycle. My indispensable tools were a good pair of gardening gloves (to protect my hands from thorns and nettles) and my faithful hand pruning shears. Pruning Instructions: My approach was not a clear-cut, but a pruning for cleaning and order. Identify and Remove: I started by cutting the driest and most diseased branches of the bushes on the right (next to the red structure). Thin Out: I pruned the excess leaves from the climbers to allow light and air to circulate better. Respect the Productive: I was very careful not to damage the main guides of the pumpkin plants that were beginning to spread. Ground Cleaning: I removed all the weeds and dry leaves accumulated on the tiles and the soil.
The change is incredible! From a "wild" sector, we moved to a pruned, tidy, and clean one. Now, the edge of the tiled path is clearly distinguishable. But the best part is that, by cleaning, the pumpkin plants, which were previously suffocated, now have room to breathe and grow. Look how their large, healthy leaves are appreciated and how the small pumpkins begin to peek out strongly! This cleaning will give them the energy they need to fully develop.
