Tips For Harvesting Your Organically Grown Produce
Horticulture can not only calm your mind, but it is also easy to jump into without spending hundreds
of dollars. Family and friends can spend an enjoyable afternoon together, working in the garden. If
you have children, you'll see that they are fascinated by how the seeds grow into veggies and
flowers. It also provides a great life lesson, allowing you to appreciate everything that nature has to
offer. In this article, you will find advice to help you enjoy your garden and share that joy with
others.
You do not need store-bought chemical treatments for plant mildew. Mix some baking soda and a
very small amount of liquid soap into water. Use a spray bottle to apply to your plants weekly until
the issue clears up. This is a natural solution for ridding your plants of mildew safely.
As fall arrives, it is the time to prepare for planting fall edibles. Try using a pumpkin as a natural
plant pot. You can plant fall vegetables such as lettuce in an empty pumpkin shell. Once you cut an
opening at the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the insides, spray the inside and edges with Wilt-
Pruf to keep the pumpkin from rotting. Once this is done, you are ready to plant!
Come up with a horticulture plan before planting anything. Use this to remind you where certain
things were planted, later when they start sprouting. It's also a good way to keep smaller plants
from getting swallowed up by the rest of your garden.
Deciduous shrubs should be protected from the elements. If you have a few potted shrubs, they
should be shielded from the wintry weather. Tie together the tops, and then use a sheet or blanket to
cover the wigwam loosely. Covering your foliage in plastic will let the air in - and may lead to decay.
The best gardens start with seeds, as opposed to plants. When opening a garden, the most green
method of beginning is from seed. The plastic used in nurseries often end up in landfills, that is why
it is advised to use seeds or purchase from nurseries that make use of organic materials when
packaging their plants.
These hints will be quite helpful to you, whether you enjoy gardening alone or with others. Use some
of these tips to help your family learn the values of self-sufficiency through horticulture. You can also
garden as a way to relieve stress or as an interesting and fun hobby for yourself. Horticulture is
enjoyable.
