The true identity of the okra protrusions (causes and countermeasures for warts)
When you grow an okra, sometimes the surface is crumbly or grainy? There was a protrusion like that.
Did the insect lay something? Or I was worried about whether it was OK or not, so I checked it.
（｀・ω・´）
Something like a bumpy protrusion in Okra is called Ibo confectionery .
There are sizes from sesame grains to rice grains
The cause is mainly due to insufficient light or low temperature.
(If you don't recognize these two, it may also occur when fertilizer is insufficient (especially Chisso) or when the soil is overhumid)
There is no harm even if you eat it.
As a countermeasure,
Move to a sunny place and lightly plow the soil around the stock so as not to cut the roots (to supply oxygen)
If you add fertilizer and have a lot of leaves, it is better to leave about 2 leaves under the okra fruit and cut the leaves underneath.

Jew ’s mallow Investigate the phenomenon of numerous holes in leaves
One day, I noticed that there were countless holes in the leaves of my home Jew ’s mallow.
I think it's an insect
I examined the back of the leaves, the stem, and the root area, but there was no pest-like appearance.
(;´･ω･)
It seems that there are quite a few people who are suffering the same damage when searching on the Internet,
But I don't know why.
I tried to find out if I was sick, but this is it!
I couldn't find any illness ...
Then, I tried various things, trying to investigate by myself.
Feather theory
While searching on the net, how about worms? There was a post to say. (/・ω・)/
I see! Fly at night and eat leaves and go home in the morning! (｀・ω・´)I can explain that there are no insects even if I examine it while it is bright.
OK! Let's catch the beetle.
Stick double-sided tape behind the leaves of Jew ’s mallow and wait for the night!
result
In fact, there was no trace of it. (; ´ ･ ω ･)
So once again, I decided to sort out the leaf conditions and symptoms.
1. The leaves with holes are concentrated at the top of Jew ’s mallow.
2. The way of opening the hole does not feel like being eaten by something (the part where the hole is opened feels like it withered and collapsed)
If you look for similar diseases, you can't find them, but they don't look like feathers or pests ...
From here, it is a guess, but (/ ・ ω ・) /
Jew ’s mallow grows rapidly from germination until it can be harvested.
In the meantime, it was sunshine, or it was said that the nutrition was not enough and the leaves were affected.
Next time I try to grow it, I would like to verify what happens when I grow it with hydroponics with different fertilizer concentrations in hydroponics.
I would like to report here if I can verify the results. (^ ◇ ^)

Method of germination Verifying the difference in the number of days between the method with water and the method without water.
How to germinate
Verify the difference in the number of days between the method that has been put on water and the method that has not.
I often hear that it is better to put it in water all day and night as a way to germinate seeds efficiently.
The reason is,
Seeds seem to have the property of germinating at a favorable time (raining) and dormant to survive unfavorable conditions (drought, etc.) in nature.
In other words, if you tell the seed that it is okay to put it in water (the dormant substance in the seed skin dissolves in water), germination will be easier.
I see! But here is a little question (´・ω・`)
Let's say that germination occurred 5 days after 1 day.
Similarly, if you sow the seeds and sprout after 6 days with water, ...
After all on the same number of days? (´・ω・`)
Is it really effective?
So, I experimented with spinach seeds.
I'd like to examine whether there are 15 seeds of spinach that germinate between seeds that have been soaked in water and seeds that have not been sowed a day.
First, prepare 15 seeds with or without seeds. (^ ◇ ^)
(Indoor temperature average 17 ℃)
Lay the kitchen paper on the tapper, place seeds on it, spray it with water and close the lid!
2 days later
Oh ~ （｀・ω・´） Is there any effect?
Two seeds that had been put on water germinated.
It looks like this when zoomed in.
5 days later
At last, seeds that could not be put on water also sprouted. (^ ◇ ^)
Verification results
5 days later
5 days germination of seeds that do not soak in water, 2 germinations germination rate 15%
Germination number of seeds in water 2 days germination number 6 grains germination rate 40%
The result was.
The low germination rate is due to the seeds that have been at home for a long time. I think that,
Looking at the results of the experiment, spinach seeds should be sprouted in water.
This time, I'll try to verify with a different kind of species .

About the history, origin and efficacy of Japanese basil
Japanese basil is written in kanji and revived in purple.
Japanese basil now has a lot of green things, but since it originally has a purple color, you can see that purple is in the kanji, but
So why? Is there something that comes back?
I was worried about it, so I checked it out.
The origin of Japanese basil is said to be from Central South China to Himalayas
It has been used as a medicinal herb for a long time in China. (It is said that it has been cultivated since the Heian period in Japan.)
One day, a young man in China became addicted to food, and when he brewed Japanese basil, he said that he was fine
Reviving = Japanese basil
It seems to have come from being told to say .
Eh! ? What are the benefits to recover from food poisoning!
I was more worried, so I checked it.
First, the good scent component of Japanese basil is perylaldehyde,
It seems to have the effect of promoting antibacterial, antiseptic, and gastric juice secretion.
I see! (・ ∀ ・) I understand the meaning of sashimi!
And the nutritional value of the contents you care about
Vitamin C, (Abundant. Vitamin C works to protect cell health.)
Vitamin E, (Abundant. Vitamin E prevents oxidation by active oxygen.)
Vitamin B1 (recovery from fatigue)
β-carotene (contains more than carrots. β-carotene becomes vitamin A and works for immune function and vision maintenance)
It was a versatile vegetable that contained only such healthy foods. (^ ◇ ^)
Since it is easy to grow, why don't you try growing it in home cultivation?
(*^▽^*)

Vegetables do not sprout or grow slowly due to seeding.
If the seeding method is wrong, it will happen that the buds will not come out forever.
(^ ◇ ^)
So, this time, I will make an article on how to sow.
There are three points of the sowing method.
1． Examine photophilic or anaerobic seeds
2． Know the germination temperature
3． Do not dry until moderate watering and germination.
These are three points. (^ ◇ ^)
The need to know whether a seed is a photophilic seed or an anaerobic seed
If the seeds are phobic seeds, they will germinate just by sprinkling them from above without covering them with much soil.
On the other hand, if it is an anaerobic seed, bury it in the soil about 1-2 cm.
As petit information,
Large seeds, such as corn and snack peas
If you plant seeds with the roots coming down when planting,
It grows quickly and grows well afterwards.
Please try planting like this.
