This summer we are experiencing record high temperatures. It may be a disaster, natural or man-made… ?
Cucumber in my tiny balcony farm needs larger amount of water than it can absorb from the small planter. The planter keeps wet by using watering kits.
The water in a pet bottle flows into the planter through a narrow tube by the capillary action and siphon effect.
Pinching plants can help increase the amount of fruit. Excess leaves and branches are removed so that the remaining branches have better light exposure and air circulation.
Plants should have no heart or sense of pain. They are allowed just to endure in their surrounding environment. However, their life force is wonderful. How fresh and vivid their new tops are ! I feel very sorry every time I pick up them and wonder whether the plant will grows better after that or not.
I grew bitter gourd last year. It was easier to choose which new top to be pinched. While bitter gourd grows linearly, cucumber has many branches. After pinching a new top of bitter gourd, it keeps two branches growing linearly and bearing lots of fruits.
I wonder whether my cucumber is happy with my intervention or not…
Sunny days continue. Three cucumber fruits a day became big.
They seem to have struggled to endure in the heat of summer. Their shapes are not uniform and their skin has a few scars. Besides, they are partially hallow…
Human has a sense of pain, ability to think and ability to take action. Every one leads a different life than others; therefore, each one develops their own faith and belief during their lifetime. Unfortunately, there are some people who justify to cause hurt and injury to others.
