A quiet place.

Well I have been wondering how people are getting on with their new garden projects. I hope you are starting to see some results with the lawn and borders you have been working on. Now there should be some positive results even if there has only been a small amount of time spent out in your gardens. And it should be seen what is possible for the future. What I prefer to do is use perenial plants in my borders, they are plants that stay in the border and die down during the winter to return even bigger the next year. Not only that but they are usually easy to reproduce from cuttings or they can be split into several smaller plants when they get to a reasonable size. I mention this now so you may use some of these plants to fill in the spaces in the vacant spots that have been cleared in the borders. There are lots of these plants all different sizes, shapes colours and growing habits. So they are an excellent choice for for many aspects.

Don’t forget it is good to hear your comments of how you are getting on so drop us a line to tell us all. Or any problems or Ideas let us know. More Easy Gardens soon. MJ.

Designing Garden Path Access With Stepping Stones

12/07/2011 By
Garden Paths

Garden pathways

Despite the best efforts of landscape planners, sometimes parts of a garden are used for purposes for which they were not originally designed. If you notice tracks or worn patches on a lawn, or, worse, across a flowerbed, it is a sure sign that a hard surface of some sort is needed there for protection, because a pathway is in the process of being created. This is where garden designing comes in.                                                            However, you may not want a full path, with its hard lines, in that position.Look for other ways.One way around the problem is to insert stepping stones to form a path. The stones can be circular, rectangular, square, or even irregular in shape. You will need enough stones so they are easy to walk on without changing stride – no one enjoys jumping from stone to stone. A distance of 2 ft 6 in from the centre of one stone to the centre of the next will suit the stride of most adults. It is best to place the stones where you want them and to try walking on the stones before committing to laying them in their final position.

You can buy circular or rectangular concrete paving slabs, or you can make your own irregular-shaped stones by pouring concrete into holes in the ground. In the latter case, you dig a hole the shape and depth you want and firm down the soil inside the hole. Pour concrete into the hole and leave the concrete to set. Before the concrete sets you may want to personalize the stone – perhaps with your dog’s paw print (wash the paw well immediately afterwards!), your initials written with a stick, or an attractive tile. When it is hard, lift out the stone and wash it down with water from a hose.

Stepping stone molds are available from landscape suppliers, and in some places you can buy a complete kit, with quickset cement and decorative items included.

To lay a stepping stone so it is flush with the surface of the ground, make a hole the shape of the stone and 2 in deeper than the depth of the stone. Pour a 2 in layer of sand into the bottom of the hole for the stone to rest on. If you are putting the stones in a lawn, make sure the stones are set 1/2 in below the level of the grass, so the lawn is easy to mow.

Stepping stones can be separated from each other by grass, or prostrate plants like creeping thyme, or they can be joined by putting pebbles or gravel between them. They are particularly effective in areas leading to a pond or a statue or any garden feature, but they are not so useful in places like entry ways, where there is very heavy foot traffic and visitors need to be able to easily see the pathway at all times of day and in all weather conditions.

Well made, stepping stones can be an attractive – and useful – addition to your garden designing.

If you have read my tips on easy gardens you should by now have a descent looking lawn, That is if you have managed to dodge the heavy showers of late. So much for a blazing summer. The next thing to  try now is  the borders, if they have overgrown somewhat do not despair, remember little and often, start clearing a small piece near the house to give yourself some thing to look at once it is cleared, I would remove any plants that are heavily rooted with grass,and just clear everything out of this small space you have chosen.  You only need spend a half hour on it to see some improvement then just go back when you have some spare time and continue along the border a little at a time.You will surprise yourself  how soon a new tidy border appears.You could even reward yourself by buying a few plants to fill the space you have left as a reward. This method of doing a small portion of the garden each time you have few moments spare makes things  so much less of an effort and gives great results over time. Try to get something to inspire you maybe a book on the type of garden you like or look at other gardens around and pick up on what you may have in your own garden.If money is short try seeds to start off with or cuttings  from friends and family.Do some swops for plants you already have, it all brings costs down. Maybe  try putting in vegetables or quick growing salad items, all will give interest and something to eat as well. Each portion of border you reclaim  can be put to use either to look nice full of flowers or whatever you want after all it is your garden, make your mark on it, and this may even become a hobby that begins to give satisfaction and enjoyment instead of being a chore. Remember little and often, now I won’t need to repeat this in the next easy garden tips because it is what you will be doing , am I right. Oh and the lawn is still being done, to frame the new border yes?   If you have any questions please email me at    Triton106627@yahoo.com and I will reply soon.

What I have found is most people who do not like gardening tend to leave matters far to long, until they or their partners can no longer stand the sight of their unruly garden. Then out come the forgotten tools that for some reason have lost the ability to perform the task they where purchased for, this being due to a serious lack of use and general care. This seasonal problem usually occurs on one of the hottest days of the year when all the green matter in the garden has put on most growth during May. This task is then given a whole week end of self torture trying to turn a jungle into a plot similar to those at the Chelsea flower show. You just know the end result is not going to be impressive and you will end up with sunburn of a painful kind to go with the aches pains and inevitable scrapes and bumps. All for what purpose do people put themselves through this, I find it difficult to comprehend.

Let me tell you it does not have to be like this (really). If you happen to be one of these people I can give you some tips to lessen your terror of the word gardening and it’s implications. Little and often. A few years ago now I used to work as a gardener, I had 50 gardens doing 2hours once a fortnight, and all of them where neat and tidy all year round. So this is the easy way to have that garden space you really want and you may even enjoy doing it. First of all you need to sort out the grass portion or lawn. Cut this on a regular basis once a fortnight at least. Make sure the edges are cut properly once in the spring and this will last until winter, just trim the edges with edging shears not a strimmer that flirts grass in every direction. This takes care of a large portion of most gardens. This alone will make things much more bearable and will improve the look of the garden .

Look out for more tips and easy gardening soon. MJ. Gardeningtipbooks.com

(PRWEB) September 21, 2006

Now that summer has come to an end, Ted Roberson, owner of Landscapeliving.com wants to help people with their gardening and landscaping projects.

 

Roberson says that many people are not as enthused about their gardens as they were at the beginning of the summer and tend to ignore them, but at this time of year, it’s important to deal with weeds, mulch, harvesting and cutting back flowers.

 

?Many of the chores that need to be done in the fall may seem to be tedious things, but they are important to help prepare gardens for the following spring and summer.

“As homeowners ourselves we realize that there is a need to learn more about landscaping and garden projects that we can do around our home without bringing in big expensive landscaping companies to remodel our front or backyard environments” Roberson said.

 

?My website is full of articles from people like you on plants, landscape designs, tips, when to harvest and the tools needed to get your garden and landscape ready for the coming fall and winter months.?

 

To keep landscape and gardening projects protected during the dormant months, certain projects such as pruning ensures growth in the spring. One tip Roberson offers is to sod lawns in the fall if there are bare patches. This ensures lawns will be thick and healthy in the spring.

 

Another tip from Landscapeliving.com: don?t forget the walkway. Rain, wind, ice and snow can make walkways expand or contract leaving an uneven look. There are simple drainage remedies that can be done now to ensure a perfect walkway.

Gardening: Helpful Tips to help you ?Grow?

03/06/2011 By

I like to garden and really the only thing that frustrates me is the cold of winter because that means I can not be outside growing my vegetables, herbs and other plants.  If you are thinking about getting into gardening here are some ideas and tips to get you going.

Start off Small

Most new gardeners give up because things don’t work out as planned (or as hoped) or they try to do too much in a single growing season.  I was like this.  My first year with a vegetable garden I think I tried to plant every seed under the sun (and some in the shade).  Needless to say with too much planted a lot of my plants suffered for it as did the quality of fruits and vegetables.  Pick 2 to 3 items you would really love to grow and go with that.  In future seasons you can add on as you get better and more efficient at it.

Maintain Your Soil

Make sure you soil is well taken care of and that means that it is moist and well aerated.  Walking on your soil will pack it down and that’s not good for your plants.  I use one of those garden weasel tools to help break up any hard soil and allow the air to flow.  But also you want to keep in mind to NOT overwork the soil either.  Having some smaller clumps is a good thing as well.

Water

Most people think that you need to give your plants water everyday but less at a time.  That is the furthest thing from the truth (for most plants anyway).  Giving plants a good soaking, but not a drowning, less frequently is much better.  This way your plants must reach deep for those water pockets and that creates strong roots.

Compost

Don’t forget your compost pile or food waste for compost.  Compost adds much needed nutrients to your soil that gets depleted every growing season.  You can compost any type of organic matter, such as leaves, grass, branches and so on.  Keep them in a pile and using a pitch fork turn the pile over every so often.  Soon you will have a nice pile of compost that you mix in with your soil.  If that is too much work for you, take your left over food scraps and bury them about 2 feet down in your planting area.  Worms will eat the compost and their castings will give you some really great compost.  Just remember to turn your over before and after every growing season to bring that compost towards the surface.

Mulch

Using mulch is a great way to reduce the amount of weeds your garden will see and because mulch is a biodegradable organic material it will also add nutrients to your soil.  You could go buy mulch but why would you do that?  Instead shred up some newspaper or cardboard and you are all set.

Say no to Chemicals

One thing I do is avoid using any type of chemical fertilizer.  I do this because there is no need.  The environment provides everything your plant will require to grow, you just have to give it to it such as everything we already mentioned, compost, mulch, water, etc.  I won’t go into it in this article but you can actually double use your compost.  First as a way to brew some compost tea and then when its done brewing you spread your compost out over your plants.  Compost tea is far better than any type of miracle grow or chemical product you will find.  Do a Google search on compost tea and you will see what I mean.

Spending just a few minutes everyday at your garden, I like to visit my garden for about 10 minutes in the morning before I go to work, will do wonders not only for your garden but for your sanity.  Gardens are very relaxing and it is exciting to watch plants grow that you nurtured from a seed.

Audrey Hepburn?s Love of Gardening Helped Her Throughout Her Life

03/06/2011 By

Audrey Hepburn is one of the most famous actresses of all time, but her life was not nearly as glamorous as many may have thought. Her life was actually full of many hardships. Born in 1929, in Brussels, Belgium, Audrey and her mother had to survive World War II on their own, as her father abandoned them when she was only 6 years old. Audrey usually had very little to eat and developed many medical problems due to malnutrition. Even though she would go on to have much success in her many films, she never got over the ordeals of her childhood and suffered from depression and an eating disorder for many years. Throughout her life, she always was happiest when she had serenity, privacy and quiet, which helped to create in her a love of gardening.

According to her son, Audrey’s favorite place in the world was the garden at her home in Switzerland. Audrey owned a 16,000 square mile villa overlooking Lake Geneva. Whenever she could be at the estate, she would spend many hours tending to the garden and filling her house with freshly cut flowers. Audrey loved the property so much that she lived there for her last 30 years. She enjoyed being far away from Hollywood, because she was never bothered by photographers and could lead a normal life.

The last project of Audrey’s life was a PBS television series in 1993 entitled “Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn”. It ran for just nine episodes, as she died the day before the first episode even aired. The shows featured 17 different gardens throughout the countries of Holland, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Italy, France, England, and the United States. The series won Audrey an Emmy Award for ‘Outstanding Individual Achievement- Informational Programming’ and resulted in Audrey having a rose, tulip and daylily named after her. Audrey gave her salary from this documentary series to UNICEF, for which she was a goodwill ambassador. According to her life partner, Robert Wolders, Audrey stated that this project was one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.

There is no evidence that Audrey Hepburn ever sought medical help for her emotional problems. During her lifetime, many people were not even aware that Audrey had problems because her types of issues were not openly talked about like they are today. Gardening seemed to provide a means for her to feel at peace. Even according to many doctors and psychiatrists, gardening is a form of therapy because of its calming effects on the mind. Through working in a garden, an individual gets exercise and exposure to the sun, both which release serotonin, a mood-regulating brain chemical. New studies have also shown that there is a bacteria in soil that balances the immune system, leading to overall better health. With her traumatic childhood, it’s wonderful to see that Audrey Hepburn was eventually able to find such tranquility.

Gardening With Your Child

03/06/2011 By

Getting children involved in gardening at a young age can teach them valuable lessons that will last them a lifetime. Children can learn a great deal about the various sciences through gardening. By growing their own vegetables, they can learn about nutrition. By having to water and weed and care for their plants, they learn responsibility. As they watch the flowers and vegetables they have planted grow and mature, children can take pride in their own accomplishments and develop self-esteem. For these reasons and many more, you will want to bring your child into the garden with you. It is not that difficult either.

You should, first, consider giving your child their very own garden plot. Keep it small, though. About a 4-foot x 4-foot area is fine. Also, make sure that they have their own gardening tools and that they are in a size suitable for the child. If you do not have room to give your child their own plot of land, give them a section of their own in your garden. Of course, you will probably be doing most of the work getting the ground ready to plant. However, you will want your child to help, and be sure to let them know that it is perfectly okay to get dirty. (That can be a real treat, in and of itself.)

Let your child help pick out what is to be planted, but you will want to steer them towards plants that are easy to grow. Daylilies are always a good choice. Flowers that are easy to grow from seed include nasturtiums and sunflowers. They might also enjoy vines like honeysuckle and morning glory. You both will enjoy watching a moonflower open at night. I have also found that children really love chocolate mint. (Planting mint might give you a chance to explain a little about container gardening to them, too.) If you plant vegetables, chose those vegetables that they actually like to eat. (If your child absolutely hates brussels sprout, having them grow this vegetable is not going to change their mind.)

Explain to your child the importance of taking care of their garden. Help them weed. Show them how and when to water. (An occasional water fight on a hot summer day should always be an option, as well.) Explain the importance of keeping the garden mulched. Show them how to dead head plants, and explain the reasons for doing so.

If your child wants to label their plants, have them paint flat rocks with the names and colorful designs. The same can be done with wooden stakes. Let your child use their imagination. It is their garden, after all.

Never pressure or nag your child about their work in the garden. You want gardening to be a positive and fun experience. Work together in your gardens. Take breaks together and have a cold drink while you each talk about your plans for your gardens. Take walks together through the gardens to see what is growing, what is blooming. You may discover that you have given the world another gardener and your child a lifetime of memories.

I thought this bug, might be a kind of beetle, was interesting to look at. It had a kind of green metallic color and a black and white striped belly. I am not sure what it is. Maybe you can leave a comment and let me know whether I need to worry about it or not. They are munching on the leaves, but there are not a lot of them so they are not doing a lot of damage.

Roof Gardens: History, Design and Construction – T Osmundson

03/06/2011 By

Roof Gardens in General

Rooftop gardening is quite challenging, but the idea is not new.One of the most famous roof gardens is Queen Semiramis’ Gardens, The hanging gardens of Babylon, which was built around 600 B.C and was destroyed by several earthquakes after second century B.C.. ,These for example, were terraced gardens arranged in set pyramids over elaborate rooms.

There are many good reasons for rooftop gardening. The first and foremost reason is that rooftop gardening increases access to private outdoor green space,rooftop gardens act as ecological oasis in the cities and help in improving the air quality by reducing air pollution and dust.

They look Very attractive & decorative
It creates a very attractive private space for relaxation

While browsing in a local book store , I happened to discover this very useful book on Roof Garening and I bought it on an impulse . I have had the book for 2 years now and I love going through its pages- honestly it is a collectors item for all Garden enthusiasts.

Mr. Osmundson the author of “Roof Gardens – History, Design and Construction” is a veteran landscape architect , and here in this book he shares his practical expertise of roof garden design, research and travel. The book is richly illustrated with attractive photographs , some plans for roof gardens and score of details regarding the construction ,about some prominent roof gardens in various cities across the globe with illustrated pictures ..
It is a lovely guide for garden enthusiasts.Very well detailed and with some very practical suggestions..

Some topics covered by him:-

There are certain things that need to be looked into while planning a roof garden:-

1,Making sure that the roof on which the garden is to be laid, is strong enough to carry the weight of the garden.Wet soil can weigh more than eighty pounds per square foot; your roof must be able to support this weight. Peat moss can also be used to ensure that there will be sufficient base soil.one has to Make sure that the roof is waterproof .

2,The roof or the terrace should be sloped and have an effective drainage system.

3,One has to make make sure that there is no leakage of water while planning a roof garden.

Choice of Plants

It is necessary to choose the plants with shallow root system which will not penetrate the roof floor in long run.At the same time, it is also advisable to grow such plants that flower at various periods of year and are very easily be maintained at roof top.

Some recommended plants that thrive on Roof Garden

Foliage plants :- Asparagus, coleus, croton, diffenbachia, dracena, paperomias, philodendron rubber plant, etc.

Flowering plants : Seasonal flowers like Anthurhium, Asters, Balsam, Calendula, Celosia, Cosmos, Daisy, Dianthus, Gaillardia, Marigold Nasturtium, Pansies, Phlox, Verbena, Zeinia, etc., and perennial flowers like Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Dahlia, Rose, Tuberose, etc.

Fruits :- Gooseberry, strawberry, peach, pear, pineapple pomegranate, etc

Cactii and succulents :- Agave, Aloe, Kalanchoe, Opuntia, Cehpalocereus, Notocactus ,Nyctocereus, etc.

Vegetables like Bringal, broccoli, chillies, lettuce, tomoto, etc

Soil Mix

Generally a soil layer of 10-20 cm thickness is sufficient for planting various foliage and flowering plants. A good soil mixture for roof gardening must consist of soil, sand and well rotten FYM in 2:1:1 ratio for flowering plants but for foliage plants, a mixture containing equal part of soil and organic manure is the best.

Potting

Before potting, the container should be thoroughly washed and sterilized with 5% formalin solution. A small piece of curved pebble should be placed over the drainage hole to prevent its blocking. For proper growth and drainage, the coarse sand should be placed at the bottom over which a mixture of soil and organic manure may be added to fill up the container leaving 2.0-3.0 cm pot brim for irrigation. Planting is to be done by making a hole in the center so that any injury to young plant or its roots may be avoided. While planting, the soil around the plant is pressed to hold it firmly in the growing medium. A light watering is required immediately after planting and should be done with the help of rose cane. After that the plants are kept in the shade for about a fortnight before being placed at their actual location on the roof.

Repotting

The pot should be checked once in a year during monsoon season (June-July) and repotting is required if the roots of the plant are found to bound the entire pot. Repotting may also be required if any plant looks too large for its pot or the water passes through the pot too quickly. Repotting is done either in bigger pot or in the same pot with fresh garden soil and manure after light root pruning..

The author also gives a detailed description and some useful tips for the maintenance of the roof garden..

This book covers almost all aspects of roof gardening and can be easily recomended to all garden lovers by all means…a very useful addition to ones library i would say.

Gardening Book

03/06/2011 By

Gardening books come in all different shapes and sizes and offer more information on gardening than can be found anywhere else.  Anything anyone ever wanted to know about gardening can be found in a gardening book.  Gardening books are not expensive, and will end up being worth much more than you will pay for one.  Not only can gardening books be used for personal use, they are also an excellent gift for a gardening friend.

For the beginner, gardening books are almost a necessity in starting a garden.  Books will give step-by-step instructions and easy to understand directions on how to plant a garden, from breaking up the dirt to how much water your plants need.  They will give all of the necessary details about every type of plant, such as how much light they need to survive, how often they need to be watered, how much nutrients must be added to the soil, and any other little quirks that plants have.

Gardening books are very informational and range anywhere from just a pamphlet size book with a few pages to a novel size book with hundreds of pages.  The information provided is top notch and a lot of it cannot be found anywhere else.  Books provide hints and tips on how to make your plants healthier, how to keep your garden free of weeds, and how to prevent against and fight diseases.

Often times gardening books will give readers ideas they had never thought of before.  For example, there are hundreds of vegetables and herbs out there that many people would never think of growing in their backyard, but would be very good to grow in your own personal garden.  There are also millions of flowers many people don’t think about but that are very beautiful.  There are hundreds of people that would probably trade their rose bush for an exotic flower, and with a gardening book they could read about what types of flowers are available and will grow in their area.

Whether you enjoy gardening or not, gardening books are wonderful gifts if you have a gardening friend.  It is personalized and you can give a great gift that isn’t that expensive.  You could even give it to someone who doesn’t garden.  Who knows, maybe they will be interested and decide to plant a garden.

Gardening books are excellent for any type of gardener at any level.  No matter how much gardening knowledge and experience you have, I guarantee you there is a gardening book somewhere that has something in it you don’t know.  Gardening books can be used no matter what you grow: shrubs, flowers, vegetables, fruits, and trees, even those of you who grow weeds!

Gardening Advice

03/06/2011 By

Gardening Advice

For example, the gardening advice given for planting is pretty much uniform.  You must place plants where they will have room to grow so they don’t overcrowd each other.  Good air flow is a plus, and plants must be in a position where they will receive adequate amounts of sunlight.  Advice will always tell you to add some type of nutrients to the soil to lead to better plant growth, such as mulch or compost.  

Gardening advice on watering plants is a little more varied, because every type of plant needs different amounts of water.  For example, you wouldn’t want to water a cactus near as much as you water a tomato plant.  How much you water will obviously also depend on where you live, the climate, and how much rain your area receives.  

Gardening advice from nearly every source will tell you that your plants not only need fertilize when you first plant them, they will also needed to be fertilized throughout their growing season.  What type of fertilize used will depend on the soil content and pH balance, but fertilize will definitely be needed on most all plants.  Compost can be used instead and it is easy to find advice on how to make a compost pile as well as when fertilize and compost needs to be used.

Gardening advice on weeds, insects, disease, and how to get rid of them is probably the most sought after advice in all of gardening.  These pests invade all gardens and if you don’t get rid of them, they will take over and ruin your garden.  There are many different chemicals and pesticides that can be used, and gardening advice will usually clue gardeners in on which chemicals are better, which are harmful, and which ones are easier to administer.

Gardening is not an easy task; you have to fight against many outside forces, such as weather, insects, disease, and weeds.  Even the most seasoned of gardeners will seek out gardening advice once in a while.  Who wouldn’t when there are so many forces that could take a garden out?  There is a lot of general gardening advice on the market that goes for any plant, but if you look a little harder you will find specific advice for that one plant that is the only one giving you trouble.  Gardening advice is relatively easy to find, and while you may come across the occasional bad apple, most of it is relatively sound and will help with any gardening question.

Some Simple Gardening Tips

03/06/2011 By

Everybody wants a beautiful, luscious, green garden to enjoy at home. Gardens are very relaxing, often inspiring and of course a great place to spend time with friends and family. However many of us lack even the most basic gardening skills and some people have no idea where to start in growing a beautiful garden.

Hopefully this article will give you a few tips and pointers in order to get going and growing!

Firstly it is important to take one step at a time. Gardens can take years to look established and full, so don’t worry about beginning on a small scale or in a small section of your garden. With time, preparation, work and the right plants your garden will begin to take shape over time.

Secondly it may be a good idea to draw a basic plan of what you want your garden to look like.

Think about the shape of your lawn and the shape of your borders. Do you want a seating area? Perhaps a screened off vegetable patch. These are all important things to consider so take your time and plan carefully.

Don’t forget to check what type of soil you have in your garden. Some soils are more acidic than others, some have a high clay content and all of this plays an important role in what plans will be suited for your property. Simple soil testing kits can be purchased from good garden centres and once you are armed with the information, you can head back to a garden centre and seek advice as to what plants will be good for your particular type of soil.

Finally do some careful research into the plants, shrubs and trees you wish to plant.

Consider colours, size, shape and even consider what time of year the plants will flower. If you plan carefully, your garden can change from one colour to the next, every month, giving you beautiful and vivid colours throughout the entire year.

Gardening Gift

03/06/2011 By

If buying a gardening gift for a beginner, an instructional or informational book is always a good idea.  Books like this will give tips on how to eliminate gardening nightmares like disease, insects, and weeds.  They will tell gardeners which kind of plants thrive in different climates, as well as how much sun, water, and nutrients various types of plants require.  Books like this can be purchased at nurseries, online, or at your local bookstore.  If your gardening friend is a “computer nerd”, a gardening information CD might be a better gardening gift for them than a book.

Whether giving to a novice or expert professional, a plant is always a great gardening gift.  Whether buying the traditional gift, like a poinsettia at Christmas, or just some random plant random, like moss, a plant is sure to be greatly appreciated and enjoyed.  Another idea is to buy seeds or just a bulb for someone to transplant.  Giving a perennial would be a gift that keeps on giving.  

Theme gardening gifts using plants can also be loads of fun.  An herb can come with an attached card including a recipe using that herb.  A plant that produces nectar and will attract butterflies can be coupled with a book on butterflies.

Possibly the best and most common, gardening gift is gardening tools.  This can be anything as simple as a hoe or rake to something more high-tech like an electric blower or vacuum.  These are good for removing debris, leaves, or grass from driveways and side walks.  Other favorites are gloves, hedge trimmers, and sprinklers.

An excellent gardening gift that is rarely though of is a calendar.  Calendar’s can serve dual purposes; it can be decorative with beautiful gardening themes, or can be used to keep up with the moon phase that affects most all plants.  A farmer’s almanac is also a good idea, it is full of information regarding the weather, moon phase, when to plant, when to prune; it is the best guidebook to gardening there is.

The ultimate gardening gift is for any gardener is a gift certificate to a nursery or store where gardening tools or plants are available.  This way, your friend can get any tool they do not have in their collection, or any kind of plant their heart desires.

Gift giving is a difficult task at best, but if you have gardeners for friends, a gardening gift is an easy way out and makes your gift buying simple.  Gardening gifts can range anywhere from tools to actual plants and with gardening gifts you have a wide range of costs to choose from.  You can give a cheap pair of gloves or an expensive power tiller.  So the next time you go gift shopping, thing about a gardening gift for your friends with green thumbs!

Planting Summer Flowers In Your Garden

12/05/2011 By

If flowers are your thing or if you plan to include some flowers in your summer garden then you should take a moment to learn about those flowers or flowering plants that are best suited to summer months and what those plants like by way of sunlight and shade. Not all flowers are created equal when it comes to withstanding the heat of the summer sun and some require a little more care than others. Keep all of these things in mind when planning your summer garden and choose wisely according to the type of care you wish to provide.

This is a general guide to the various types of plants that are well suited for a summer garden and not necessarily those that are well suited to rest side by side. Study the flowers you decide you would like to include in your summer garden in order to insure you keep those that love water and dislike sun away from those that thrive with little water and copious amounts of sun. In other words you will need to conduct a more thorough study of the flowers you decide to include in your summer garden in order to determine the proper placement of these flowers for the most color, effect, and the best possible life for the flowers you choose.

The following are some fun sun loving flowers you may wish to include in your summer garden. Geraniums are bright little splashes of color that are ideally suited for a summer garden. They happen to work well for creating borders or simply providing a highlight of color in a bed of green and do quite well in pots on their own or mixed with other colorful summer flowers. The Hibiscus is a beautiful spot of color that will lend a tropical feel to your summer garden. A welcome addition to many gardens they may grow quite tall so keep them to the back of the summer garden to allow the full array of color from all summer plants to capture the eyes of visitors. Marigolds are another popular addition to most summer gardens. With a wide array of colors from which to choose it is no small wonder that these flowers remain a popular favorite for sunny patches within the summer garden.

Shade loving flowers also abound for summer gardens everywhere. Most gardeners find heavily shaded spots within their lawns or gardens to be a particular challenge. Perhaps some of these suggestions will alleviate that sense of challenge for you. Impatiens are widely popular choices for shady spaces and provide a wide range of bright colors perfect for creating fun and bright borders. The viola is another great brightly colored flower that is well suited for borders or potted arrangements, whichever suits your particular summer garden needs. Mimulus is another excellent choice for color in your summer garden and may tolerate partial sun quite well if you’re looking for a nice border plant. If you prefer more dramatic coloring in your summer garden you might be interested in including Lobelia or ageratum, which both have beautiful blue hues in your summer garden plans.

Of course this is only a small sampling of the many bright and beautiful summer flowers that can make a real splash in your summer garden. Be sure to check out the color offerings of each and specific care instructions to make sure that they are a genuine match not only for your personal tastes but also the landscape and terrain of your garden and the other plants that will be included in your summer garden. The planning stage is often the hardest work that many people put into their summer gardens but the pay off for all this proper planning is quite often rich and beautiful. Failing to plan properly can result in a great deal of wasted time and effort on your behalf and a less than stellar summer garden.

Enjoy some summer colour in your garden. MJ

How to Compost for Home Economic Garden

01/05/2011 By

In our horticultural Facebook, one of our members posted a question that was how they could go without spending much or  little money. I gave it a thought, and realized that how need “spend” only a  little money in composting. For me, composting with only stuff that gets thrown is almost free.
With the help of some of our garden on our Facebook page, I put together some ideas that can help you build your compost pile and still improve your soil conditions of very low cost.
Start with the obvious choices of organic matter which is lying in your yard. Have you or your neighbor mow and bag up? Do you have the leaves in the fall? Have you or someone you know trim hedges and bushes. If you can answer yes or maybe one of these then you have everything needed for a good compost. Just take this and put it in a pile in your garden, preferably in the backyard of the house. Periodically turn the pile with a fork to allow air to move the added waste material and newly placed at the bottom and center. As “they” say, “wash, rinse and repeat.
When was the last time you had a dinner that just could not finish, but not enough to save what was left of the remains? If your answer is “oh, yes, it happens a lot,” then you are missing a great opportunity to add compost to your garden soil. Using fork , dig a hole in your garden to at least eighteen inches deep and put the remains in the ground. Fill the hole with soil and you’re done. Worms, bacteria and other ecosystems that feed on the remains and do all the work for you. Again, “to wash, rinse and repeat.”
Did you know that Starbucks, the coffee chain has a program called Earth? They take their full range of used coffee grounds and put them in a bucket, free for the taking. If you have a Starbucks near you or go on one way back, stop at all times and you can catch some. Coffee beans for great compost in your garden. Pour the coffee into the soil and mix with a fork.
Have you or someone you know like fish? The fish waste provides an excellent compost. I heard a story once of how Native Americans get a shell in all the fish of maize seed to help their growth. They were definitely on to something, because the fish waste is great. The next time you go fishing or fish fillet, save what remains and bury in the ground. The ecosystem will do the rest for you.
As you can see all of these methods are excellent ways to save money with virtually free composting. If you’re ready to make some effort, you can create ideal fertilizer for the soil of the garden all year round.

Tips beds weed-free

01/01/2001 By

After years of gardening, I learned that there are some tips that can help prevent the most feared of all needs – from weeding. The best, easiest and what you can do is prevention.
When you choose a location for a flower bed, try to choose a place that is relatively weed-free to begin with and is not about to seeds produced by weeds, like the neighbors in their garden filled with flowers, or other seed-producing trees such as maple. If the “perfect” and is infested with weeds, will start throwing (yes, by hand) weeds.
In doing so, try not to disturb the seeds which are formed on the stems. Seeds germinate fully formed when exposed to the freshly plowed earth. Depending on the size of the brush can help prevent seeds from falling by tying one of the following on the heads of weed seeds: a paper bag, a pillowcase, cut off the leg of a pair of socks ( or knee) or you can use an onion bag (depending on seed size). Be sure to lay the seeds, plants and all, in a bin and not in a compost pile, where it can really wreak havoc.
When the target area was completely prepared, and planted either seeds or bulbs, or dug holes and put your plants in the ground, the next step is to mulch. Mulch is relatively easy and can be a wonderful accent to your landscape, and can also reduce the amount of water needed to keep the flowers in good shape during the hot summer days.
Depending on where you live, mulching can also protect your plants against frost during the winter months. When choosing a fertilizer, there are many options these days, newspapers and peanut shells recycled tires and cut, but my favorite is the shredded bark or pine straw. If you need help choosing what works best in your area, then try asking your local nursery to help, there are more out there.
Whatever you decide to use, make sure you have enough to cover the area from four to six inches, adding compost as alliances or pine bark and straw decomposes over time. If the mulch is properly maintained, which is attractive and last for years, and be a deterrent to weeds. This brings us to pull weeds from time to time. If filling is maintained, then you should be able to deal with only a weekly walk through the weeds to keep under control.
Another advantage of the coverage makes weeding easier. A gentle tug near the base of the stem of grass is all that is needed. Again, be sure to dispose of them properly.
There is a method you can use to remove your flowers weeds and it is through the use of chemical herbicides. I admit I’m not too fond of chemicals and have two children and animals who love the garden as much as I do, but sometimes it can be a valuable tool to rid your garden of weeds. It is important to use them properly.
As with all herbicides work the same and I am not familiar with all herbicides that are there, be sure to ask your local nursery to help producers. They can tell you what is available and can recommend the best herbicide for weed problem in particular. To prevent all those who love the garden safe, be sure to use herbicides in the manner prescribed and the stock and the reach of children and animals.
If you follow these tips, you can have a garden of beautiful flowers and easy to maintain.

Beginner’s Guide to the planting of orchards – Fundamentals

01/01/2001 By

If you have never planted a garden, you will need some basic things about planting gardens and ensure that it becomes easy, efficient and rewarding.
Although you probably have a few houseplants, garden planting can be just as rewarding. Most people do not realize, but it is actually easier to grow vegetables that grow flowers. Flowers that open are very sensitive to drastic changes in time as a heat wave or cold suddenly. Huertas other hand, do very well and are considered resistant plants.
So for your first garden planting vegetables to choose some of the easy, rapid growth is rewarded so quickly. And then happen to those who are a little more difficult to grow.
You must decide how much time you have for your garden, decide on the area, the amount of light or shadow that is in the area to be planted, then finding the best types of vegetables that grow in the region are planting. So is soil preparation. Remember, the soil is the foundation of every culture of plants, prepared correctly the first time gives a good performance. Make sure to talk to a master gardener or someone who is pushing a garden close to what you might need to add the land to give its full growth potential.
Then it’s time to decide on the style of planting. Many people plant in rows, but if you want, you can actually grow in circles, squares, hexagons or plants in beds or raised beds of soil. Planta way you want and what works best for you, but make sure all your plants are easily accessible.
Make sure you do not get overzealous in their first garden. Many people find it takes a little longer than I thought it would then become discouraged because their grounds are always a disaster. Start with a small garden, choose a few good varieties of your favorite vegetables, the plant at the time, and then care for him. Remember, you can always expand your garden next year, but once you took the time to plan your first garden, it can take much longer to take care of him than he can think that it is too large for the time you have to pursue it.

4 Tips on gardening, raised beds Home

01/01/2001 By

I watched the History Channel the other day on cable TV and by chance showed a program in the history of raised bed gardening. It was fascinating to see the garden through the back raised bed methods in some history books about ancient civilizations. In some cultures, they raise their gardens so that excess water flows from the roots of plants that have been made to grow healthier plants. Sometimes I am guilty of this, we believe that the methods we use today were invented or started with our generation, when in reality they are simply variations on the methods developed for a long time.
After watching this program, I wanted to get some ideas and methods that use other vegetable gardens in their own raised bed of vegetables, so I asked around. In a reply to my ad on our fan page on Facebook vegetable garden was a gentleman named Michael Phelps. I do not think it was the swimmer to Olympic gold, but hey you never know.
Phelps said he was gardening methods via elevated bed for more than two decades, and here are tips to increase your harvest suggests `s success.
Adequate drainage
Like the ancient civilizations who want to ensure that your raised beds to allow the excess water. Since the pots have holes in the bottom to allow water, always make sure the raised beds allow water to leave as well. Excess water around the roots of plants causing root rot and the plants die.
Adequate water
Phelps is recommended that plants in the beds have enough water for their needs. He said that occurred because the water tends to run faster which increases the chances of the land to dry faster than normal. It is recommended that the use of a meter of soil moisture has helped enormously and are available in your home or garden center for a few dollars.
Keep loose soil with compost
Composting is one of the best things you can do on their land. Add the necessary food and keeps the soil light and airy allowing the soil is looser in turn, gives the plant roots for growth. There are all different methods of composting. Search our site and choose the one that suits you.
Sustainable structure
You can build a bed in many ways, but Mr. Phelps recommended the use of wood composite, because “it is not degraded.” Who can argue with him? When building a raised bed as a structure rather than “build up” dirt, you want to last for many years and you can choose a material that is safe for your yard and not break, so it’s a good way to go. composite decking is expensive than traditional pine or cedar for that very reason. However, it is, it will be money well spent.
Maybe you never thought of gardening in a raised bed or maybe never heard of the technique. After this information has the tools to give it a go and try to grow a vegetable garden raised bed for himself.
