Spending time in your garden

Spending time in your garden


We get the question all the time “what is one thing they can do to have success in the garden.” “Should we water more, water less, or any number of things.” But the real key to a successful garden is spending time in your garden. Every problem you might have in your garden starts out small; a single aphid, a wilting flower top, and soggy soil next to a leaking pipe. Walking through your garden once a week will enable you to catch these issues before they become problems. Plants for the most part don’t just up in die over night. The plants tell you there is a problem before they pass. If you come across an issue you don’t understand, ask right away. Many problems can be avoided by simply taking action before it spreads. Should you find an issue, ask us. Bring the questioned leaf in a PLASTIC BAG into us. Please seal the plastic bag; you don’t want the problem to spread through your garden, and neither do we.

Spending time in your garden not only allows you to catch these issues but it’s also quite enjoyable. If you don’t enjoy your garden, then you are doing it wrong. We often are asked for plants that need no water, no fertilizer, and no care. One has to wonder why garden at all? Gardens are meant to be enjoyed, so walk amongst your flowers, touch and feel you ferns and coral-bells, taste your herbs and vegetables. It is the one place I can spend time away from all the problems of the world. The garden is meant to be enjoyed by you and your family, let it reflect what you like doing out doors. A play area for the kids, vegetable garden for the family cook, a place to rest and have a nice beverage.
