As soon as the temperature rises slightly and does not drop below zero during the day, gardeners – both amateurs and professionals – start gardening. They prepare the soil or home cultivation and sow seeds of various vegetables and fruits. All this to enjoy an abundant harvest of delicious tomatoes, peppers and strawberries in the summer. It sometimes happens that we put a lot of heart, time and work into caring for plants, and unfortunately they are not that eager to bear fruit. Why?
Why don’t tomatoes bear fruit?
There may be many reasons. One of them is incorrect care and ignorance of what a given plant likes most and what it needs. However, sometimes even despite excellent knowledge on this subject, the effects are not satisfactory and we only see a few pieces on trees or flower beds. For fruitful development, plants – just like people – need the right company. And it’s not about singing them goodnight – although it certainly wouldn’t hurt.
Plants not bearing fruit? Many people make this mistake
We can find a lot of gardening advice on the Internet. Specialists are happy to share their knowledge, thanks to which our plants will grow beautifully and please our eyes. There are a lot of tips of this type on the Instagram profile ogrod_w_sam_raz. Recently, the author drew attention to something that is a must-have if we count on an abundance of tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits in the summer.
In order for the plant to produce fruits and vegetables, it is necessary for the flowers it produces in spring to be pollinated. If there are quite few of them in the area, pollinating insects need some kind of guideposts. Something that will attract them to our garden. And flowers will work best.
They can be planted between vegetable beds (according to the principles of permaculture) or on a separately designated flowerbed in close proximity to them, or even in pots, which, thanks to their mobility, can be a really convenient option.
How to attract them to our garden? The author has listed several types of flowers that are worth placing around the vegetable garden. These include borages, speedwells, catnip, lavender, flowering herbs such as oregano, marigolds, marigolds, cornflowers and verbena.
When to plant flowers?
In fact, flowers can be planted or sown from the beginning of March. If the ground has thawed after winter and is not frozen, we can plant them in the ground. Otherwise, it is better to prepare the seedlings at home and move them to the ground when the temperature is more favorable. Before we get down to it, it is worth finding out about the requirements of specific species that we want to plant in our garden – not all of them are resistant to possible frosts.
