Too Much Light

This is the number one gardening mistake during the beginning of the gardening journey that people make.

Plants do not require light as a result of either case and thus, fail to grow. This is the main reason vegetables growing slowly.

Choosing the Wrong Seeds and Plants for Your Climate Zone

When people first decide to build a botanical garden, they often start with a list, in their head, of the plants they want to grow. Often, people start thinking about the things they like to eat regularly. But this list does not always match the climatic zone in which they find themselves. Used for a wide selection of fruits and vegetables used to shop at huge grocery stores. Some of them can be transported over long distances. They would have been grown in completely different climatic zones.

Planting Too Early

By the time spring finally rolls around, most gardeners are eager to return to the garden. But, if you live where the temperature may still be lower than freezing, avoid keeping out of tender crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, brinjals and black pepper. These vegetables should be covered until the night temperature is at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If you want to give them a little head, then plant them in a developed cloth, cloche, milk jug, or other type of protection.

Avoid Overfeeding

To avoid over-breastfeeding follow fertilizer instructions. This means adding only the recommended amount according to the label's instructions. Some fertilizers are designed to feed slowly. Some fertilizers are designed to feed gradually, then there is no need to reapply. Just because you cannot see it does not mean that it is not working.

Neglecting to Harvest Regularly

Do you know that most of the flowers and bean vegetables are produced more when they are cut regularly? Many plants are genetically programmed to try to produce and spread more and more seeds. When we choose a pepper, we also remove the seeds inside it, and when this happens, the plant changes its energy to produce more chili (and therefore seeds).

Harvest Regularly

Ignoring Spacing

This is a very closely related problem to begin with. Small seedlings properly spaced can leave the garden looking barren. Because they are going to grow and fill quickly and tightly spread plants and they do not require sun and air circulation. This leads to diseases and low yields, not to mention difficulty in harvesting.
