The 2nd thinning and weed pulling (How to build a vegetable garden) – Growing veg for beginners
About a week has passed since the last thinning. I removed the grow tunnel and checked inside the bed.
https://www.vege-try.net/en/thin-out-leaf-lettuce-enThis is the bed where spinach is being grown.
I want about 2 plants per hole in the mulch for spinach, so I thin them out.
It becomes difficult to tell how many plants are growing in one hole as the plants mature, doesn’t it?
Gently bend the spinach leaves to check the base.
While thinning, I’ll also pull out weeds and remove damaged leaves.
Next, let’s take a look at the bed where baby leaf greens (mesclun greens) are being grown.
These leaves with waves are arugula (rocket). It’s a vegetable commonly seen in the salad or herb section of supermarkets.
This light green vegetable here is called “Bekana". Bekana is a member of the Chinese cabbage family.
This area, like the spinach bed, has a few damaged leaves and weeds, so I’ll pick and tidy up.
Finally, this is the bed where we’re growing baby bok choy and leaf lettuce.
The baby bok choy is growing quite well.
As for the leaf lettuce, it’s still small because I replanted the seeds. It seems to need a few more days to grow.
I left it alone for a while, but the sugar snap peas are slowly growing too.
I thinned it once last time, so this time the task was completed quickly.
