How To Get More Flowers, Vegetables and Fruit from your Plants

bubblebathselfempowerment

Besides providing compost-rich soil and giving adequate water, a great way to get more flowers, vegetables and fruits from your plants is to deadhead or pick frequently. Deadheading simply means picking off old flowers that are past their prime.

When we do not do this, the plant’s energy goes into making seeds rather than more flowers.

If you want to collect seeds from plants then just let the flowers, fruit and vegetables stay on the plant and mature until seed heads form or the produce is mature enough to have seeds.

But if you want extended blooms and produce, pick off the old flowers and pick your produce frequently while they are young but ripe.

Warmly,

Monica

Bealtaine Cottage, An Inspiration For A Healthier World

The pandemic brought a lot of awareness to me about climate change, food shortages, how quickly our hospitals could colapse and more. This has sent me on a mission of becoming self-sustainable, empowered and working to help heal the earth. That is what the focus of this blog has become. The main way I'm working at this is through building a food forest and documenting as much as possible in hopes to inspire others. The more of us that do this, the more it will help heal the earth. When we buy produce from the grocery store, it was grown through monoculture, and that leads to use of chemicals that goes onto our food and into our planet, destroying soil. If we grow our own through permaculture (a food forest), we give the soil health. We also give ourselves health by growing organic foods and herbs that contribute to our health. There's a lot more to this, but this touches the surface. I'm only one year into this but my food forest is growing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

  4. This is a great tip. If I could keep the rodents out I might get to enjoy some of the fruits of our labour, but, alas, they are insatiable. I’m at the point of giving up, after 8 years of their gluttony.
