I'm Fragile, Lord

Routines Every Day

After finishing caring for her mother Talita Watering tomato seedlings and chili, this is her routine every morning.

After she finished immediately Talita went to Bu Mey's house to take the laundry that would be brought to her house so that while washing, Talita could still pay attention to her mother even though she was working.

Talita is very grateful to God, until now still able to take good care of his mother without the help of his stepfather who did not know where after the incident yesterday even had two days not to go home again.

Talita was grateful that no one was bothering her and her mother. From now on that's the routine every day.

And lucky after finishing washing, folding clothes, Talita will deliver her clean clothes to Bu Mey and Bu Mey immediately give her wages of 30k.

Even Talita now does not think of looking for another job. Talita only focuses on caring for tomato seedlings and chili seeds.

It does not feel like almost a month of this routine on Talita run very well and without missing caring for his mother.

Currently Talita Will move the tomato seedlings in the Polybag to the garden that is next to the chili seeds.

Talita painstakingly moved her tomato seedlings slowly so as not to damage the aunt she would plant.

The following ways;

Tomato seedlings can be moved to the garden after 30-45 days in the nursery. At the time of planting into the garden, it should be done again on seeds that have been aged 30-45 days to obtain good plants growth and have high productivity power in producing fruit.

For that Talita choose seeds that look attractive and good, namely the appearance of fresh and the leaves are not damaged. Choose strong seeds, namely upright growth and choose healthy seeds, meaning that the seeds are not attacked by pests and diseases.

A good time to plant tomato seedlings in the garden is early morning or late afternoon. At that time the weather conditions have not been hot so as to prevent the weary on the plant.

When moving seedlings in the garden, should pay attention to good and right ways. Careless transfer of seedlings can damage the rooting of the plant, so that when the seedlings have been planted it will experience obstacles in growth and even die.

There are several ways of transferring seedlings from seedlings namely :

The unplug system, which is seedlings that have grown in the nursery and are old enough to be carefully removed. However, before the removal of the seedling bed should be moistened with water to facilitate the extraction and not damage the roots.

Round system, which is seedlings taken along with the soil. However, before the seedlings are taken the soil is moistened with water first.

Both methods are primarily intended for nursery which is directly carried out on the nursery ground beds while for seedlings seedlings seeded in the roof or polybag the way of transfer is to wet the roof first, and, then remove the seedlings from the roof along with the soil by tearing the polybag bag.

Talita preparing soil treatment for planting seedlings in the production garden must take into account the time, among others, the length of seedlings in the nursery until they can be moved into the garden with the length of the soil processing process until ready to plant.

The length of breeding time is about 30-45 days, while the length of intensive soil processing until ready to plant is 21 days. Therefore, in order to be timely planting in the garden, the soil treatment schedule should be carried out 1-2 weeks after the seeds are sown.

Intensive soil processing basically through 3 stages.

The first stage is to reverse the soil aggregates so that the soil that is in the inner layer can be lifted to the surface. This stage of soil processing should be done with a plow that is pulled by animal power or by using a tractor. Soil treated with a depth of 25 cm-30 cm.

After being plowed, the land is left for 1 week so that the ploughs of land are sufficiently exposed to the wind, exposed to sunlight, and so on, and so that the oxidation process (increase) of toxic substances from the soil such as sulfide acid that is very harmful to plant life.

The second stage, the soil is spewed by hoeing thinly so that it is obtained loose soil structures or crumbs, as well as to flatten it. Furthermore, the soil of this stage of processing is left for 1 week.

At this stage, the soil that has been sprinkled with manure is hoeed back thinly and flattened.

Bedengan Forming.

After the soil processing is done, then made beds longitudinally to the East West so that the spread of sunlight can be evenly distributed throughout the plant. In addition to making bedeng, also made trenches or gutters for irrigation.

Bedengan can be made wide with a width of 1-1.2 m, the length is adjusted to the state of the land and the height of the bedeng 30 cm. If planting tomatoes is done in the rainy season, beds can be made higher, which is 40-45 cm. While the size of the trench is made 20-30 cm wide and 30 cm deep.

Thus the distance between beds is 20-30 cm. Then around the plots of beds made sewer with a width of 50 cm, and the depth of 50 cm.

Liming

Another thing to note in land processing or land preparation is liming in soils that are too acidic and do not comply with the requirements of growing plants.

Liming is given simultaneously with soil processing, because in general the roots of plants are not strong against calcification directly, plants can suffer from growth disorders and can even die.

Lime that can be used is chalk, carbonate chalk, or wall chalk. Liming, in addition to raising the pH value of the soil can also improve the soil structure, as well as, encourage the activity of soil microorganisms in helping the process of decomposition of soil organic matter and reduce toxic substances without eliminating other important substances. Liming doses should pay attention to the pH value of the local soil.

Fertilizing

Before the tomato plants are planted, the land must be given basic fertilizer. Fertilization can be done in 2 ways:

Compost or manure that has become soil and TSP is sown evenly throughout the bedengan. Next, the soil is hoeed until homogeneous so that compost or manure and TSP are mixed evenly with the soil.

At a predetermined distance made a hole as deep as + 15 cm and middle-lined + 20 cm. The holes are then given manure or compost as much as 0.5 kg (one large handheld) and given TSP as much as + 5 grams. Holes are landfilled, then stirred so that compost or manure, TSP and soil are mixed evenly.

All Talita did based on the book that was read and he did it well without anyone's help. Talita was used to helping her father who used to also garden.

The difference is that his father grew corn while now Talita grows chili and tomatoes. Talita dared to take risks, for Talita this is the learning and experience to become a farmer like his father did.

Not feeling it was afternoon, Talita stopped her work which had all been completed to take care of the ones in the garden only.

After cleaning her body, Talita immediately took care of her mother again. Before long I heard the door knocking someone.

Tok...

TBC....

Who comes in these nights?

What happened after?
