Gardening Tips For New Gardeners
Article by Lisa Tanady
Gardening is a good hobby that has attracted a lot of people, not just because it is a relaxing activity, but also because it gives one the satisfaction of nurturing something and seeing it grow. People who are fond of gardening usually enjoy the quiet moments they spend tending to their flowers or plants. It also gives them the extra produce which makes gardening a rewarding activity.
If you are just starting to engage in gardening and quite unsure how to get your hobby started, try these few gardening tips:
Try Tomatoes
There are about 25,000 different varieties of tomatoes and they are the most common planted vegetables because they are quite easy to take care of. Make sure to buy partially grown tomato plants, if you are just now starting your tomato garden.
Choose the variety that you know will grow well in your area and select the ideal place for your tomato plants, where they will get plenty of sun. Check if you have enough soil to cover the plants. Now dig holes for your plants and transfer the tomato plants which you bought into your garden. You would just have to water them regularly, more so when the days are hotter, just to make sure they are properly hydrated.
You Can Also Plant Flower Bulbs
As a newbie gardener, you would want to plant those that are easy to manage and fast to grow. Flower bulbs are not that difficult to plant and take care of.
Choose a good location in your garden, with enough soil. Prepare the planting bed by using a little fertilizer, dig holes and then plant the flower bulbs in them. It’s easy, yes, but the real challenge is making your flower bed grow through regular care.
Gardening can be quite an interesting hobby, and one that will allow you some time to think or meditate. It may even be therapeutic for some people who are going through pain or trauma. Young children will also benefit from gardening, because it is one way of learning the process of growth and learning how to appreciate and take care of living things.
