Why we garden
I don’t know what it is about a garden that has always
drawn humans to
them. But they’ve always been very popular, and an integral
part of
peoples’ lifestyles.
From food to flowers people
love gardens. While we
have a natural desire to progress and industrialize, deep
within all of us
is a primal love for nature. A garden is
a way to quickly escape from the busy world. Since being in nature is like regressing to an earlier
stage of
humanity, we too can regress to a time of comfort and utter
happiness.
This is why gardens are so relaxing and calming to be in.

Organic gardening is a style
that is environmentally and people friendly in any location.
Basic organic principles start with organic seeds or plants,
healthier soil, organic fertilizers, weed and pest control.
Start where you can until you can have your total organic
garden. Many merchants are offering organic alternatives, or
search the web to find organic products.
Tips for a
new garden
- Till the soil gently to maintain
the natural layers
- Place garden for at least six
hours of sun each day
- Use transplants for plants that
grow slower like tomatoes and peppers
- Use seeds for plants that do not
transplant well such as carrots or those that grow well
from seeds like beans
- Hand water until roots are
formed
- Control weeds by pulling them
often
