Green Beans

They aren't the individual type of guy. They are all pretty much the same. Gee whatever happened to the individual? We'll, they are basically alike, except for the foot long bean . Now that's an individual! Bush Beans about fifty days to maturity, pole beans Abit longer, about 65. Don't over- extend that, they can quickly become tough.

Beans can be steamed, stir fried, sauteed in butter with bell peppers added for a tastier flavor and many other ways. Even eaten straight from the garden if they are sprayed with chems. Bush beans grow to be twele- twenty four inches tall, and pole can have vines eight to ten feet in length.
They are an simpler plant to grow.

Bell Peppers are a good choice too if you're looking for something not too big , and that grows fairly well. You can stuff them with meat, or other vegetables from the garden to give them a bit of flavor. And they come in a variety of beautiful colors. They take about seventy to ninety days to mature, and the plant is not awesomely large. This is a good medium plant. 

Another easy one to grow that's a straight forward guy, is the green onion, or scallion. This chap gets about eight inches tall , but you may want to cut some down a bit sooner. You can put it directly into the ground, or grow inside, with the roots submerged in water. Cut the green part when you need some. The plant will keep growing and give back many times. This can be done continuously.

I'd like to mention a plant which nobody touches on too often, which is very easy to grow, takes very little space, and has all but been forgotten over the years, and makes a great snack. Celery. As with onions of any kind, don't toss your little cut off piece from the bottom of the plant. Stick it in a dish with the bottom submerged in water, and wait a few days. It will grow, and whenever you want Celery, it's there. Just cut a piece off and you have some celery. It will also grow continuously.

Another good, fine example is Garlic. It does not take much space , and can be used as a garnish, or added to a dinner plate to add flavor.I hope you enjoyed this article as much as I enjoyed researching it. Have a great evening, and enjoy gardening.

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
