What to grow in sand?
Hello,
I will start by saying that I've had success with Corn, Basil, and Cucumbers. I've got radishes growing but they never looked like radishes... They've been growing for over 4 months now and they are pretty plants with bright red stems, nice looking leaves. Can a radish be eaten months after it's 30 day due date? I've got some carrots growing but the carrots look like they are still two months from maturing. The leaves are growing upwards, are about 6 inches. The roots aren't developing very much at the moment. I've planted some cabbage but the cabbage doesn't seem to be taking to well. The sandy soil is slowly turning into a better (not so sandy) soil, I'm thinking it'll take another year though before it's fully where it should be. So my main question involves what to grow in sand in order to improve the quality of the sand? I've reworked the corn stalks into the sand and that seems to have helped a bit, and I keep adding dead leaves and such and keep watching bugs appear. One other question... involving basil. I know basil will die if I let it bloom. If I let it bloom will it seed itself and create more basil plants? And if I have sweet basil next to purple basil next to lemon basil... what can I expect if I let them all bloom? -- Jim Carlock Post replies to newsgroup. |
