Gardening

Gardening is a very relaxing hobby and you can pursue it for a long time. People who love trees and flowers and a bit of outdoor activity will definitely lovegardening. Gardening is a cultivation of various plant groups like flowers, fruits and vegetables. With gardening you get a chance to be with Mother Earth which is a luxury in today’s time.


Different types of garden: You can cultivate different types of garden depending upon the climate and your choice. You can develop flower garden and grow flowers of your choice all round the year. You can grow vegetable garden and supply your family with fresh vegetables all round the year. You can also have small orchards of peaches, apples and citrus foods. Herb gardens can be grown between food andflower garden . You can also have a lovely terrace garden with plants in containers. You can have house plants, trailing plants and planters filled with flowering plants.

Starting a garden: Gardening is not a very expensive hobby to pursue except if you want to sow some rare and exotic plants. You would need some basic tools like a shovel, a rake, a watering can and a hoe. You have to use fertilizers from time to time and also make sure that the soil is properly moisturized. Remember to take into account the needs of each plant especially if planting them together in a tub, make sure their needs are compatible, i.e. water, light and feed. Learn to treat your plants immediately with pesticides once you notice a bug or an insect. Try out different arrangements of your plants and make note of which plants enhance the beauty of others, bearing in mind that in different rooms there will be different amounts of light and each plant may have different needs. You must be prepared to accept the loss of some plants like Cylamem, Chrysanthemum and Gloxinia.

Learn to repot: After a year or two most plants will need to be repotted, signs are that they are simply too big for the current pot or they begin to look very sick and struggling to grow. If there is no other reason for them to be unwell it is very likely that they just need to be repotted.
