Having a Garden and Making It Yours

There's nothing like having your own vegetable garden to eat from, it gives you a great feeling of success, and  you eat much healthier. That is a fact. There are success stories out there, and I want you to see them. There are people who have a place, and some who start with very little to work with. If you can grow one vegetable plant that's a start.

There are people who are without a place to live, and those with could begin to help by choosing to put one vegetable plant in your yard for offering others to have something to eat. Or pick a few veggies, and make a little basket for those less fortunate. I was once told by someone important that " It's important to help those that need a hand up, and what they do with your gift of offering is between them, and God." The fantastic part is you know you helped, and that's all that matters. I guess that's why in part that I'd like to garden again. To contribute back to society. Right now I'm busy trying to obtain that goal.

You could pick Peas and Tomatoes, and saute them together with a dab of butter, and some home-grown green onions for flavor. Makes a delicious dish. Toss some Broccoli, Carrots, and vinegar dressing with a splash of Honey for a nice cool salad. Or make shake with some Blueberries, and Strawberries, and some other berries. If you have no way of blessing them, just put a bit of Sugar in a bowl beside them for dipping.

Got enough room for Corn? If so, then why not pick, a few potatoes and some Broccoli to Grill with an onion. Makes a great snack. And everything tastes so much better when it's home grown and freshly picked. 

You can grow all sorts of things in the southern areas of the States. And you grow a large variety of herbs in the south also, and sprinkle them generously all over and into your vegetables no matter how you choose to make them . If it's vining vegetables you have, then plant a little nearer to the fence. It will give it someplace to climb, plus you can allow passersby to pluck a few along the way if they get hungry. You'd be helping in your own way.

Or plant a patch of Peanuts or something nearby the outside of your yard for more than just appearance. Try not to put more than you can stand to lose in case of animals or someone with the wrong idea. So there's no hard feelings. If someone's really hungry sometimes their eyes are a bit bigger than their stomach. They don't mean harm. Things happen when people are stuck outside. It changes their Outlook of things. And it's horrible for anyone to be hungry.

You may even want to grow a small Orange Tree in your back yard. Whatever you choose to plant, have fun and enjoy planting and watching it grow. Until next time, happy planting!!

I hope you've all enjoyed this article as much as I really enjoyed researching it. Enjoy the sites. They are full of interesting information. Thanks for your continued support.

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
