Pepper retried

I sowed some pepper seeds in the pot on the left today. This time no overwatering. And, I mixed the soil with some bone meal. Not on the top though. The bone meal stinks.

The radishes in the photo are two weeks old?

Autopsy

Just went to a nearby garden to get some bone meal fertilizer. When i asked the shop keeper what might have caused my pepper to drop its leaves, he said quite firmly - overwatering.

That should be it.

If it were the fertility of the soil, only the old pots would suffer and the new one should have survived.

anyway I will use some bone meal with the next generation.

The photos are four new radishes. The one at the center is a vegetable.

Too much is a no no

I think I have been over-watering the leftmost pepper. Its leaves have turned yellow and some of them even fell off.

From now on, I will cut back on the lavish supply of water.
