Your Garden In Monsoon
The sky is darkening, clouds envelope the sun causing the shadow to sweep, little water drops free from the confines of clouds fall on the thirsty expecting earth. The monsoon has arrived. Along comes the many pleasant and many unpleasant aspects of the season. As the monsoons drive you crazy with its affects on your home, clothes, car and yourself, your home garden only seems to be welcoming the rain with open arms. This gives you a chance to groom your garden, as it requires special care during the rains.
The monsoon is a good time for garden and landscape planting. With the higher humidity, cloud cover and rainfall, plants have an easier time getting established after planting. All sizes of trees and shrubs can be planted during the rainy season if you give careful attention to watering. To be sure water will penetrate the root ball, thoroughly hydrate the roots. Just prior to planting, water the pot until water runs out the drainage holes. Herbs can be planted in the garden during the rainy season but will do best with some afternoon shade. Mint, thyme, oregano, chives, sage and rosemary can all be successfully planted now. Basil can also be planted and can be continually harvested until it freezes back in the winter.
Water stagnation is another aspect that should be taken care of. Be careful to check your drainage system in the compound and garden so that it doesn"t turn into a breeding place for mosquitoes. Water also shouldn"t be allowed to stagnate in the garden as it can make plants rot easily. In the case herbicides and pesticides, it doesn't matter how carefully you apply these products in a small garden. One heavy rain will wash the herbicide off the area you treated, and spread it all over the garden. Also, the roots of one vegetable can easily extend to the next row, where the chemical is. A non labeled plant will be injured or killed if it contacts the chemical; it will certainly make the crop inedible.
Some important factors to be taken care for your garden at the time of monsoons to help you make the best of the season and to bring the best out of your garden:
You have ready a lush, green garden that blossoms beautifully in the rain. A well kept garden is a pleasure for you and an envy of your neighbors. A nice garden also serves as a fine venue for your picnic,barbecue party or just a cozy stroll amongst the exotic flowers with a special person in your arms.
