Planting flowers in July? With dark clouds in the sky?
Hello, I got a whole bunch of seeds ( not very expensive; paid Rupees
120; that's USD 2.6 approxi. ). The seeds a Chrysanthimum, Antirrhinum, Cockscomb, Candytuft, Sunflower, Aster, Salvia, Larkspur and Hollyhock - 1 packet each. I plan to plant them directly in bed's that are well dug up and well aereated; I'll dig to maybe 1/2 a foot depth and keep the soil soft. Temperature is between 17 and 32 but the sky is cloudy with monsoon clouds and Chrysanthimum's don't like too much water. I'll keep the bed sheltered but that will cut down on the light and the flowers i've got need lots of light and sunshine. So what should i do? Scrap the whole bed idea and plant them in plastic 1 litre milk packets? I could then keep them on the roof of the house which gets maximum sunlight. The sky is grey.. I'm a little late in planting, should have started in Feb..but this is India and Bangalore does have sunny stretches.. I've also bought some veggies ( Pumpkin, Radish, Brinjal and Bell Pepper ). I'm planting it anyway but was wondering if i could salvage the situation in some way ? |
