All About Gardening

Strawberries are a great fruit choice for a home garden. They are easy to plant and care for, and a well-taken care of patch will continue to produce bright, red strawberries for years to come. Strawberries are very high in Vitamin C, and can supply a daily requirement of this vitamin with only one cup of berries. Strawberries can be eaten directly from the garden, or used in pies, ice cream, smoothies and many other yummy treats! If you have an excess of berries they can be frozen very easily for future use!
Selecting your strawberry cultivar is very important. There are two main types of strawberries, early-season or June-bearing cultivars and ever-bearing cultivars. The early season plants will produce a crop in June while the ever-bearing varieties will begin production in late June and continue producing fruit through out the summer. The ever-bearing varieties will require more maintenance and probably irrigation during the summer. Ogallala and Ozark Beauty are two great choices in ever-bearing varieties. Ever-bearing varieties will yield better under cool periods throughout the season. Some good choices for early-season cultivars include Sunrise and Earliglow. Be sure to buy your plants from a reputable nursery and that they will guarantee they are virus-free.
Strawberries should be planted in early spring, ideally in April. Plants should be set in the garden as soon as you purchase them. If you cannot plant the same day, you should place them in a dark room and pack moist packing material around the roots. You need to make sure that the roots will not dry out, as that will cause the plant to die.
The site you select for your strawberry patch is also important. Strawberries need dry conditions, so an area with a slight slope is ideal. The plants will bloom early in the spring, so you may want to choose an area that has an added frost protection. If the blooms freeze, the plants will not bear fruit. Do not plant strawberries on a south facing slope as the warm sun will trick the plants into thinking the weather is warmer and they will set out their blooms only to be attacked by frost.
A sandy or loamy soil is best for strawberries. If strawberries are planted in a hard, clay like soil, the plants will suffer from fruit rot. Try to stay far away from trees and do not plant near tomatoes, potatoes or peppers. Those vegetables are attacked by the same bugs, so you will want to avoid placing them close together. Fertilize the soil with about 10 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer and work it into the top 6 inches of soil. Strawberries like a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5.
The first year you plant your strawberries you will want to pick all the blooms off so that the plant does not bear fruit. This allows the roots to grow and develop a strong root system. Cultivate the bed often to prevent weed growth and mulch the rows between the plants. After the first year, you can allow your plants to flower and bear fruit. It is very important to keep weeds under control by weeding the patch often.
After the growing season is complete for the year you will want to trim or prune the plants. To do this you can mow off the plants to about one inch of height. This will prevent the patch from becoming overgrown and crowded out. The trimming should be done immediately after fruit production is complete. You don’t want to wait long because new leaves will grow up, and you want to allow them to grow.
Winter mulching is very important to protect your strawberry plants. Low winter temperatures may kill the fruit buds as well as the roots and crowns of the plants. When the temperature drops to below 20 F you will want to cover the plants with a heavy layer of mulch. Straw and chopped cornstalks make excellent mulching materials. 4 inches of straw is needed to protect the plants adequately. Remove the mulch in the spring as soon as you see signs of growth. Remove the mulch little by little so that the plants do not suffer from the shock of the cooler temperatures. If there is a threat of frost, you can place the mulch back over the plants for a short amount of time.
Once you have planted the strawberries, you will need to maintain the patch year after year for optimum production. Rotating the crops and setting out new plants through out the patch will assure new growth and healthy roots. Try planting a small patch and see how delicious your berries are!

Gardening can be a great hobby, enjoyed informally by tending to a few plants in your yard on the weekends. Some people, however, want to create something bigger, a true garden where they try to demonstrate the green thumb that they possess. In these cases, it helps to have a plan for your home garden design so you can create something that has a little more definition that the average flowerbed. Home garden design can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be, and a great home garden design can be a guide to working on a beautiful garden.
What Kind of Garden?
In order to better focus your efforts at home garden design, you should start by getting an idea of what sort of garden you want to have. Are you looking to grow fresh herbs and vegetables for your family to eat? Then your home garden design is going to be more concerned with the crops you plan to grow in your garden. Do you want something that’s beautiful to behold? Then your plans will be more concerned with planting groupings of decorative plants. Keep in mind that some home garden designs can incorporate both, beauty and usefulness.
Sketch It Out
When you are working on your home garden design, it’s best to have paper and pencil ready beforehand. Sketch out an outline of your yard and where you want to place your garden, then start filling in shapes for what you want to plant and where. This helps if you’re trying to define a garden along a particular line or to interact with other elements in your yard, such as benches or patios. By sketching out the shape of your garden beforehand, you’ll better be able to plan what to plant where.
Ask for Help
Once you have the basic idea for your home garden design, your best bet is to talk to your local gardening club, plant nursery, or even a landscaping professional to learn what sort of plants will work well for your design. Even if you already have an idea of what plants you want to choose, running your idea by someone else will allow you to get advice on other plants that will complement your design, or allow you to catch any mistakes before you start planting.
It’s like getting a second draft for a piece of writing. As long as you work with the idea of creating a beautiful home garden design, though, and you put in the work needed for it, you’re likely to end up with something that adds to the beauty of your yard and the value of your home.

As food prices climb higher and organic foods rise in popularity, many homeowners are starting their own home gardens. Of course, supplementing the food supply is not the only reason to maintain a garden. Some nurture a relaxing green getaway in their own backyard by growing fragrant flowers and privacy bushes. No matter what kinds of flora you keep in your garden, it is necessary to allow plants to get plenty of sunlight and water.
Even the savviest gardener cannot control the sun, but the true green thumb knows how to encourage growth through prudent pruning, proper fertilization, and customized watering. The best rate and amount of water to give certain plants often stumps those who are trying to garden for the first time. Finicky species of plants can be just as put off by too much water as they are by dry conditions.
If you find yourself in a dampening dilemma, take a look at these common watering tips:
•    Research your plants. Just like people, pets, and snowflakes, every plant is different. Depending on where they are found in nature, some may need monsoons while others can go weeks without moisture. Beginning gardeners should try to pick local plants for their first effort, because they are likely to thrive with only natural rainfall levels.
Books, landscapers and nursery owners are all good sources of information about how to care for certain plants. If you are still confused after seeking instruction, set up a simple experiment. Try watering different plants of the same type with the same amount of light at different intervals. Within a few weeks, it should be clear which method produces the desired results. Reliable information is certainly attainable with the proper amount of research, ask around or do your own searches to find the answers you are looking for.
•    Water in the late evening or early morning. It may seem as though the middle of the afternoon is the perfect time to spend time in the garden tending to the plants, but it is best to leave the patch alone during the day. Plants are working hard in the heat to produce food from the sunlight and store it.
Though it does not hurt or “boil” the plant to water when the sun is at its strongest, the heat and wind cause loss of water and evaporation. This means that less of the moisture actually makes it to the plant. Waiting until the evening or working early in the morning allows the water to soak into the soil. Actually, morning watering is even more preferable because the sun will dry the crust of the dirt and keep the soil around the roots damp for most of the day.
•    Use the right food. If you decide to add a fertilizer or any other additive to the water, make sure that the product is appropriate for the particular variety of plant. This is especially important for vegetable and herb gardens because certain chemicals can leave harmful substances on the food. The product should have plant recommendations and directions for use clearly listed on the packaging.
•    Plan irrigation systems carefully. A professional landscaper can create a pleasing green area and advise the homeowner on proper watering techniques, but often they also design irrigation systems. These systems do not always need to be professionally installed, but they do need to be properly planned in order to ensure that all of the plants receive the correct amount of moisture.
Many systems use sprinklers and drip hoses that dampen the soil around the flora on a regular basis. Some can even be set to deliver more liquid to certain areas or change watering frequency automatically at different times of year. These setups also tend to conserve more water than hand watering.
•    Be consistent. If you opt not to install an automatic irrigation system, make sure to stick to a regular watering schedule. Light, frequent showers encourage strong root systems that are less susceptible to drought. Giving the plant lots of water once a week may produce the same green, healthy appearance, but it will be less likely to bounce back after a dry spell or pruning.
Though watering is essential to the success of your garden, there are a number of other tasks at hand for the home gardener. Nurturing vegetables and flowers from seeds often takes months of hard work, but even planting mature plants can be a challenge. Proper preparation of soil, weeding, pruning, and fertilization are mandatory for a lush, lovely garden.
However, by observing these watering tips, you can get one step closer to growing your dream garden. After all, your plants depend on water to grow into herbs, vegetable, and flowers. Only you can provide them with this live-giving substance.

“Wow, what a beautiful garden!” How often have you expressed this view after observing the wonderful vista in front of you? Do you long to create the same magic in your own home garden so that you become the envy of your friends and neighbors? Well, here’s how:
(1) The basic mistake made by self-gardeners is not finding out correct details about the plants they purchase for their home garden. By this, I do not mean going into the botanical details about each and every shrub or tree! What I mean is inquiring about their growing habits. How tall will they be when fully grown? How far can the roots spread?
(2) People with large home gardens tend to forget that plants are also living things and grow up into tall shrubs and trees! Without a thought, they tend to put trees too close to the house or plant shrubs just under the windows. Can you imagine what will follow?
(3) Like growing children, these small shrubs and trees also grow year by year. Being too close to the house and having no place to spread, the roots of large trees may damage water as well as sewage lines by penetrating the foundation of the house. Your gardening expenses therefore go up, what with having paid for the plants themselves plus having to spend on costly repairs. The ultimate disaster is when you have to cut down the entire tree, despite having had it for so many years!
It is the same story with shrubs. Though their roots cannot destroy foundations, still the plants grow tall enough to prevent sunlight from entering the windows. You yourself will not be able to view your garden from within the house!!
(4) Timing is equally important. Yes, there is a proper season for planting young shrubs and trees in your home garden - it is late fall, when the roots are able to grow strong and healthy. Summer is a definite no-no where planting of new trees is concerned!
(5) “God, I am dying of thirst!” Well, shrubs and trees are also living things which require a certain quantity of water daily for their survival. They should not be under-watered nor over-watered, especially when young. In fact, a garden which has received more than sufficient water in the spring and summer, thrives during freezing winters too; much better than plants which have received less water.
(6) Do you trim your nails when they grow too long? What about hair and beard? They also undergo regular trimming to give a neat appearance. Well, plants also tend to grow wildly unless kept under control. Fall is the season for pruning vines and shrubs. This not only ensures proper growth, but also makes sure that there is good airflow. The result is better-looking plants in springtime.
The tips mentioned above may give the feeling that it is all too much work for one person alone! I agree. Creating a home garden is indeed tough work! But remember, working with your hands goes a long way in ridding you of everyday stresses and burdens. Even therapists agree that it is a wonderful way to do both, relax as well as exercise. No more daily trips to the gym! And what a great sense of achievement at the end of it all!
For the increasing number of Americans utilizing “home gardens” as a pastime and hobby today, the visual treat produced is more than enough reward for all their efforts!

More and more people are getting into growing their own fresh fruits and vegetables by planting a home garden. Many are enjoying their fresh garden produce during the growing season and are also preserving it for later use by freezing and canning. Even those who were not previously interested in gardening have become motivated to grow their own produce as they have learned that store-bought fruits and vegetables are often nutrient-deficient.
Not only that, but for many people starting and cultivating a home garden for the purpose of providing wonderful foods for the table is an enjoyable endeavor. Gardening has long been a popular hobby for many people all around the world, but when you add the extra incentive of being able to provide your family with nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables that have not been contaminated with chemicals and pesticides, it is easy to see why the popularity of the garden has grown.
In addition to concerns about the quality and safety of store-bought produce, another reason why people love to have a home garden bursting with wonderful foods is that you can go out and pick the vegetables at just the right time to assure freshness. Compare this with tomatoes, for example, that are picked long before they ripen, transported, stored and finally put on the store shelf.
In that scenario, which is common of the vast majority of produce sold in the grocery stores today, the tomato has been detached from its life-giving parent plant for many days and sometimes weeks. But with a vegetable garden just outside your kitchen door, you can pick your tomatoes when they are at their peak of ripeness and be able to have the freshest tomatoes to add to your salad or for your famous tomato sauce.
Most of the common and popular vegetables that are available in the produce sections of grocery stores can be grown in home gardens. Some of the most popular varieties are carrots, green beans, potatoes, peas, beets, broccoli, cabbage, and many varieties of squash, just to name a few.
And don’t forget about all of the wonderful berries that can be home grown as well. Technically a fruit, tomatoes are one of the most popular foods that people enjoy including in their home gardens. They are easy to grow and simply delicious plucked off the vine.
Produce from a vegetable garden can be used immediately or it can be frozen or canned for later use, and many people include herbs in their gardens too. In fact, herbs can be even more convenient as they can even be grown indoors, making your gardening efforts even more simple and easy. And, just as those fresh vegetables taste better and are better for you, you will also find that fresh herbs from the garden are superior in taste and flavor as compared to the dried and packaged varieties.
Aside from all of the benefits of a home garden for providing wonderful food and tasty herbs for your meals, many people simply love being in the garden, weeding, watering and tending their crops. There is a great sense of satisfaction in planting and tending the garden and in seeing your efforts bloom and grow. And, sharing a meal of good food with friends is a feeling many people treasure.

Home gardens can be hard work but for many it is a great hobby that gives you many rewards. Gardening is the most popular hobby in this country. It helps you to relax and many say it is very therapeutic. Look at it this way, you are outside in the fresh air and you are working on a project that helps to relieve stress and worry. It is also a great way to work out without having to get in your car and go to the gym. Think of the hours of enjoyment you will get when your hard work turns into gorgeous, lush gardens. Along with the enormous enjoyment you will get from your garden, you will also reap the harvest of any fruit trees and enjoy that too. There are a few garden tips that you should follow that will reward you with a beautiful home garden for you and your friends to enjoy.
There are some home gardening tips to keep in mind when shopping for new trees or shrubs. Usually, when you purchase and plant trees and shrubs they are very small. The gardener comes home and plants under a window or near the house. These plants will start to grow and can cause some tricky problems. This is a mistake to avoid. As the plants grow, so do their root systems. If planted to close to the house they could do harm to your foundation, sewer or water lines. Not only can they cause damage to these things but then it will be necessary to pay to have the tree or shrub removed. When planting shrubs around your house they may grow tall enough to block out sunlight or be a detriment to your landscaping scheme. To avoid this trouble in your home garden, find out exactly how tall and wide the shrubs and trees will be at maturity, a very important tip. Remember, never plant a tree too close to your house. The roots could cause very costly damages and you would have to have the tree taken out.
To encourage new spring growth, prune your shrubs in the fall to allow air flow. Until the shrub or tree is established you must water them liberally. Proper watering of your trees or shrubs is essential if you want them to survive and in some cases to keep the guarantee valid. Lawn sprinkler irrigation is generally inadequate for watering these new plants. Trees and shrubs must have a deeper, soaking watering of the root ball. Moist but not “sloppy wet” is the rule. The recommended watering schedule when your trees and shrubs are first planted is as follows:
Days 1-30 - Everyday
Days 31 – 60 Every other day
Days 61 & following – At least twice per week
Plants that you have watered well survive far better during the cold months than plants starting winter without enough water. Depending on your zone, it is best to plant trees and shrubs in the fall, never in the summer. Take care of your home gardens and you will have years of enjoyment adding texture and beauty to your home and yard.
Happy Gardening!

Trees and plants are the symbol of greenery, kindness and peace. People go to the garden to enjoy the beauty of nature. God has given us the opportunity to appreciate the real beauty, the flowers and their colors. After all, a garden is your personal haven, and every desirable haven must have at least a place to sit. The gardens are therefore used for entertaining and socializing purposes. Furnishing your garden is like decorating your home. The more you decorate, the more it looks nice and attractive
There are many kinds of gardens you can keep. A flower garden is full of daisies, a wide array of flowers, trees, plants, bushes, and ivies. It consists completely of flora and contains garden structures, such as pergolas, arbors, or trellises. Nice looking garden furniture makes your backyard more pleasant. You can opt for many of the varieties available in the UK market. A number of online portals are dedicated to shopping of garden furniture which provides you the best deal with many schemes and discount offers.
When choosing your garden furniture, we should keep in mind the geographic location that we live in. If you are prone to extremes of temperature, you will need to ensure your choice should be such that it gives relief from hot weather. An example, where your summer temperatures reach very high levels, you may want to think twice about purchasing metallic garden furniture. There have been some nasty burns primarily caused through the hot sun on metal garden furniture. Although, you can put these furniture at a place where direct sun light is not coming. It gives a brilliant look to your home and appreciated by architecture lovers.
If you purchase wood garden furniture you will need to keep supervision regularly for splints or cracks. You can repair these cracks easily by going to your local hardware store. If they are not fixed in time, the splints or cracks can harm you too. It can cut you or perhaps worst still, go rotten and ruin your purchase and ultimately result in your loss. Hence, proper care should be taken before making the purchase decision so that it does not harm you.
Your garden is a great place to have fun in your outdoor space. You can add to its beauty with garden furnishings where you can sit peacefully or gossip with your friends and family. The furniture is certainly not the expense; rather it is an asset that proves to be useful for you and gives a better look to your house.

I made a fatal mistake last week when I told my wife that I had been researching outdoor dining furniture for my BBQ website. First of all she wanted to know exactly what I meant my an outdoor dining set and once I’d explained that I was referring to tables and chairs it was at that point that the tirade of questions such as “why don’t we get some new patio furniture” started. For those of you men that have read “When Mars And Venus Collide” by Dr John Gray you will know how to interpret this inquisition in a manner that does not describe it as nagging, but at the end of the day we all know that it’s going to end in a new set of dining furniture and a dent in the credit card! – And here was me just hinking about a new homemade barbecue sauce recipe.
So if you end up in the position that I find myself in then you are going to have to start the research to ensure that you buy the right set for you and to that end I thought that I would share some of my findings and save you some bother.
What Do I Need To Think About When Buying New Furniture?
If you are anything like me then the last thing you want to be doing is spending time looking after your patio furniture once it is outside or bringing it inside every time it rains. To be honest I could not do the latter anyway because I would not have the space so when it comes down to it, the single most important factor to consider is the construction material and relate that to the climate in which you live.
1. Construction Materials
This area can be broken down into three main materials, metal, wood and wicker. In the metal category there is Aluminum - Lightweight, doesn’t rust and is pretty much indestructible, an all year round choice provided you don’t live in an area susceptible to wind! Aluminum can also be cleaned by most household cleaning materials. The other metal option is Wrought Iron – Again an all year round choice. It’s heavier in weight and also rust proof provided that the powder coating isn’t chipped. Very robust and easily cleaned with soapy water, but do not use abrasives as this will scratch the powder coating.
When it comes to wood then it’s really a choice of the type of wood. The best regarded are Pine, Cedar or Teak with teak coming out tops. This is the wood used for decks on yachts so you know it’s going to be pretty hard wearing. The reason that you are looking at these particular woods is to ensure that your furniture does not warp as a result of being exposed to the sun and the rain. Wood is weather proof if treated properly so it does need regular treatment but maybe only once a year.
Wicker is the final option and this is supremely comfy but it’s not as weather resistant as metal and today’s wicker is really a plastic coated onto an aluminum frame. If it is comfort that you are after then go this route but you may have to accept renewing your patio dining furniture a little more often.
2. Size
You want the size to be in keeping with the amount of space you have available. If you’re blessed with lots of space then maybe this is not such a big deal but if you are space constricted then you might want to consider a bistro style patio set.
Consider how you are going to use your furniture. Do you entertain regularly or is this outdoor dining furniture just for the family barbecue? Most sets come as five pieces (table plus four chairs) which is OK for the family but if you want the option to spread out then consider conversion sets because these will give you greater flexibility.
3. Mosaic
Mosaic table tops really do look great but these surfaces do need special care and attention. The grout around the tiles can crack in extremes of temperature so this type of patio furniture really does need to be housed indoors if you are expecting freezing temperatures.
Anyway, I have now taken everything into consideration and if you’ll excuse me I will now get on line and keep my wife happy with a new set of patio furniture. It will be solar lights next and heaven only knows where it’ll stop!

For most of us our garden is our refuge. The open blue sky and plant shapes, smells and colors are elemental.
But when it comes to garden furniture, many people choose their garden furniture without thinking about how the furniture’s colors interact with the environment they will be placed in. High-quality garden furniture can sometimes be found in a variety of colors, or you can paint your furniture yourself. My customers often ask me how to integrate colorful furniture into their garden or landscape. They want to know about color combinations, how to use furniture as a color accent, how to draw your eye with color, or how to create a serene place with color. It’s a part of my business I really enjoy.
Consider these possibilities for using color with your garden furniture:
Contrasting colors: When a garden design calls for vibrant color I advise contrasting colors such as blue or purple near yellows; or orange or orange-red against emerald or lime greens. Even black furniture (say against a hedge of yellow forsythia) can create a dynamic contrast. Imagine the impact of periwinkle blue Adirondack chairs against a backdrop bed of bright yellow daylilies.
Harmonious colors: If you don’t want to challenge the eye or you want a garden space to look larger, choose your garden furniture in colors that match their surroundings. Solid wooden furniture with a rich coat of paint will make every inch of the garden feel luxurious. A bright lime green in a dark, shady spot adds light and an airy quality.
Furniture that matches a garden accent: Think about what you want to highlight. A customer in New England placed a bright tangerine garden bench alongside her koi pond. In this case, the bright bench matched her favorite garden accent, her orange fish.
Serene colors: A customer in the pacific Northwest selected an Adirondack chair painted in white, for her moon garden that was planted with all white flowers. She tells me she lounges in her chair, listening to the night noises under the full moon, her white flowers glowing in the moonlight.
Color can bring your house and garden together: A colorful piece of furniture on a front porch can match your shutters and tie colors in your house to colors in your landscape. Trying matching your house’s trim color to provide a unified, coordinated look, or choose a contrasting color to add interest. One customer in the Boston suburbs placed her two seat bench in a pale Daffodil yellow to complement her slate blue porch. With spring flowers it was a welcome light color; in the Fall it set off chrysanthemums and traditional gourds.
Colorful furniture with a purpose: If there’s lots of shade in your yard, chose a vibrant color – colors in shade look great. If you want to draw your eye across the landscape chose a bold punctuation color. If there is dominant color in the garden or house, chose a color that either compliments or contrasts. For best results, keep the color scheme in the garden simple by sticking to one, two or three colors. Avoid a shotgun approach with one color here and one color there. A simple design that takes your house color into account gives a planned, unified look to the garden and your home.
Colors for all the seasons: If you don’t have a green thumb and you have a hard time producing harmonious color in your garden, colorful furniture may be the answer. And think about winter too. After the May flowers have passed and the vibrant colors have vanished, a well placed piece of colorful furniture can break up the steady diet of gray and add a bit of brightness to the landscape.
How do I make up my mind? Many gardeners can have a hard time deciding on right color, given the myriad of choices and combinations available. Check to see if your furniture manufacturer can give you pictures of the product you are purchasing in several different colors, or use paint swatches, and bring them with you to the garden to see how they match or contrast the natural colors there.
There are many books available today providing excellent guidance on color in the garden. Concepts that apply to juxtaposing plant colors often make sense when considering the use of color in furnishing your outdoor space. Given the joys of gardening and all the hard work involved, I always recommend you top off your labors with handsomely crafted, durable wooden furniture in a color that rewards your view, let alone the brown dirt under your nails.
