The Plant Sale Is Coming Up Soon!!!

PLEASE PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE COUNTY PLANT SALES COMING UP FOR SPRING IN YOUR COUNTY!!!

Most people it seems have forgotten the older ways of beautiful gardening! Youngsters interested should be shown. Here's your chance to help yourself, and maybe a friend, or neighbor add some beauty to their yard! These people at the county offices are fantastic!!! They'll assist you if you are a new gardener, or older.
They can give advice that you wouldn't believe. They have low-income advice, and any level, and at the same time, check out some of the other events coming your way that they have in store for you! So on March 28th, grab a few gals, pals, and others, and head over to your local County Extension Office .They are there to serve you with smiles a and happy to be there

NOTE:Sadly, the plant sale looks as if it's been cancelled for now due to the sheltering in place order. But there is plenty planned for later after the order is lifted, and if I remember correctly, there are some online events going on as well. You'd have to check their website.

Also there are several events coming up for 4-H. Please check them out, and Yahoo for those 4-H kids!!! You go!!! Plant sales are great. It's a fantastic way to find out answers to questions you have, perhaps make a few new friends, and come up with some very unique ideas. If you're at an extension office, they can even inform you of native plants in your area. And if you need unique options, but are on Avery tight budget, these people may have a few clever ideas, or might know someone who could help. So please ask, don't be shy. They are there to help.

The county extension office near you can help with many things including, but not limited to assisting you in checking the balance of your  pH in your soil. And they used to be able to give information about how to store different foods, like milk, which can be frozen, but you have to pour some off the top for expansion. I don't remember how long it keeps. They can tell you how long different meats can be frozen, and how long they will keep that way. These people are very informative and, if they don't know most likely they can find out who does. And can point you in the right direction for help.

Older folks are extremely wise when it comes to growing gardens of many types. This is an art of times last, and many folks of age can tell you some secret old-fashioned tricks which may save you loads of time and money. They have time, and experience under their belt, and some may be very thrilled if you ask for some of their knowledge, and experience. I sited the Master Gardeners of Montgomery county, Tx. for this reason. Very important people.

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
