Anybody and everybody can learn to garden. Even people who think they have no talent for growing can learn how to care for plants as they are raised. As time goes on you will learn how to grow a bunch of different types of plants both edible and non edible-you can even grow trees! Most new and beginning gardeners fail because they think that growing a garden will be simple. It will get easier as you work at it but in the beginning there will be lots of new things to learn. Planting and watering are only two parts of growing a successful garden. Here are some tips that you can use to green up your thumb a little bit.
The most often planted plant for beginning gardeners is the tomato plant. Tomatoes are some of the easiest to grow and care for. There are very few places that a tomato plant will not grow. Almost every garden is capable of growing tomatoes. They will grow even in their own containers. They do well if they are left alone. A tomato plant is a great \”starter\” plant because you can eat the fruit it produces! Eating the fruits of your labor has never been more true than when you grow a tomato plant in your garden.
Draw out a map of the garden you want to grow before you plant cuttings or seeds. Mark out both on paper and on the ground where you want each type of plant to grow. This will help you quite a lot if you want to grow more than one type of plant at a time. The map will help you remember which plant is which so you can give each plant the right care. Lots of plants look alike to amateur gardeners. The map will help you keep track of your plants as they are growing. Maps will also help you plan future gardens after the growing season has finished.
Composting is a fabulous way to make your garden healthier. Compost can be made at home without having to make any special purchases.
Starting your own compost pile is simple. A compost pile can be built from things like grass clippings, bedding from a hamster cage (or any caged pet really), old flower cuttings, dead plants and flowers from your garden, tea bags, egg shells, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable scraps from meals, fruit and vegetables that have started to sour before you eat them-all of it can be used in a compost pile. Just leave the meat out of it and your compost pile will be just fine. This is how you make your own home grown fertilizer for your garden! Growing a garden doesn\’t have to be difficult or intimidating. In fact, the more diligent you are about the care and keeping of your chosen plants, the more likely it is that you will grow a thriving garden! Don\’t forget to be patient. It takes time to grow a garden that will flourish. Anybody can become a great gardener. You don\’t need to have a grass colored thumb or any special skills. You just need to find the right guidance and you will be ready to go.
