Peppers, problems with the freeze

The peppers start well, but cold nights stopped their growth. Now, with the days beginning to be warm while Summer is arriving, we hope that peppers awake and begin to develop strongly. As you can see the leaves are shriveled and with a withered aspect due to the cold.

Pumpkin is a fruit very important, especially for its nutrition values and by its diversity inclusion in meals. The pumpkin seeds are considered protein supplements.

Most soils can be used for growing pumpkins, if properly prepared. The way the soil is dug, its fertilization, the sowing, the weeding, the watering and the area of ​the ​land required for the pumpkins to develop and expand themselves are important to have the expected good results.

Spinach for soup

Like popeye the sailor man, we all eat spinach at home. Spinach is a weed originated in South Asia and we usually use it for soups. It is important you clean it well before cooking and the cooking water should be discarded. This vegetable has a high number of nutrients that makes us stronger.

It is planted in a shaded area with easy access to water. Throughout the year there is a good production of spinach with the exception of the colder months like December and January.
