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!😊

It is already snowy and cold here, so seeing something green is impossible. Everything looks wonderful there! 😍 I wish you a bountiful harvest.
Snowy😍 We are also in winter but it never snows here. Hope you are enjoying the weather. Thank you for your wishes and sorry for replying late! :)
I hope your radish will be fertile and bear lots of fruit. I have never planted radishes, after I saw your post I wanted to plant radishes too. thank you for sharing.
Growing radishes is so easy and it tastes so good in salad. You should grow radishes, it grows faster. Thank you for your wishes!
Thanks for updating us about your radish plants. I hope that those won't disappoint you!
I hope the same, to date they are growing well. Thank you for stopping by friend!
There's so much joy in one's heart when your plants are doing so well, means you are doing everything right.
This is so so true.. flourishing plants really do bring happiness. Thank you for your lovely comment! :)
I am happy to hear that the radish seedlings are thriving, hopefully you can enjoy the results of the radish seedlings well, thank you for sharing with us, I hope you have a pleasant day my friend.
I am happy too!😊
Thank you for this lovely comment. A pleasant day to you too, friend!
you have the right way in planting carrots. Wow, I really want to use cocopeat as a planting medium and use a container like this to save space.
Such grow bags are so useful and easy to make and cocopeat is really an amazing thing to grow plants especially in pots. Thanks for stopping by!
As I'm sitting in the cold north, I enjoy reading garden updates and looking at growing plants. Good luck with your radishes. Mine are still in a seed sachet, waiting for March to arrive.
In summer the temperature here goes up to 50 degrees, maybe that is why, in winter we start shivering even at 5 degrees and sitting here I cannot even imagine what the temperature would be like in the North. Well, whatever, have a happy winter! 🥶☃️
Thank you :o). We have had a relatively mild winter up until now. The last couple of days we had 8-10 degrees.
But 50 degrees is wild. Your plants must be watered pretty much three times a day with these temperatures, right?
I actually water them twice a day because during those days I try to cover them as much from the peak hour of direct sunlight. It is a big challenge to adapt to this change of 50 to 0 and then 50 degrees.
I can imagine that's a challenge.
