A Home Garden - Fun for the Whole Family
Home
gardening is a wonderful pastime that the whole family can enjoy. In
addition, gardening has become an increasingly popular hobby for people
of all ages. Currently, studies show that in the United States, eight
of ten households take part in some type of home gardening endeavor.
Based on these statistics, gardening is one of the most popular outdoor
recreational activities in the nation.
Typically, when people
start planting their garden, they start with flowers. In addition, most
people will pursue planting roses. The novice garden does not realize
that roses usually take the most time and effort as compared to other
flowers. With such an enormous array of flowers to choose from, it is
best for the novice to start of with easy care plants and
flowers.
Vegetable gardens have become quite popular too. A
vegetable garden can bring a sense of pride and accomplishment when you
place those fresh vegetables on your dinner table. The list of
vegetable plants is endless, therefore when planning your vegetable
garden choose the right vegetable for your growing climate. For
instance, cool weather crops would be green beans, zucchini, and
cucumbers.
Many gardeners will consider planting fruits as
well. In a warm climate, you could plant watermelons, and trees such as
apricots and peaches. A berry garden is also fun, planting
strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. These types of berry
gardens are easy to care for and take less space than a traditional
vegetable garden.
Herbs are another favorite for the home
garden. If you have limited space, you can grow your herbs indoors in a
sunny window. The most often used herbs for cooking are basil, thyme,
oregano, parsley, and cilantro. These herbs are easy to grow
too.
Landscaping your yard is another form of gardening. There
are different types of grasses and shrubbery to decorate your yard.
Decorative rocks, ponds, and statues are also included as a form of
landscape gardening. Landscaping your yard is not limited to plant
life. As with a garden, your lawn and shrubbery need upkeep.
As
mentioned earlier, gardening can be fun and educational for the whole
family. In addition, what a delight to see the flowers bloom and
harvest the vegetables. However, as with anything else, to be a
successful home gardener takes work. Plants need to be weeded and
watered. Do not get discouraged if the flowers are not as brilliant as
expected or the beans did not do so well. Research the plant in
question and then try again next planting season, eventually you will
have a wonderful garden.
