Gardening Pants Information
Gardening Pants TipsIt can be a very relaxing hobby, and many find that once they start with a small garden of vegetables, they end up wanting to do more each year. There are many great books and web sites out there that can help you with the basics and can get you started when you know nothing at all about gardening. Other than that, veggies are rather easy to grow as long as you put some time into keep the garden going. I took some stained boards that were sitting in my basement (quite convenient, no?) and used them as a border for my garden, to keep out all the pests that couldn’t jump more than a foot (I figured I would be safe from lawn gnomes). I used the pile of rocks I had collected from the garden to make a creepy shrine looking thing in front of it. I don’t know what I was thinking when I did that. I made some attempt at making my garden look nice; although I think even Martha Stewart would have had difficulties. Gardening Pants AdviceWhile tending to my own garden, I have found that one of the most frustrating things that can happen to a gardener is to walk outside to check on your plants. Although mulch is great, don’t allow them to get packed, try to remove it at least once in a year and also rake it flat as if it will look like you’ve just mulched. You can’t prevent this fungus, but can do something by keeping the mulch loose so air can circulate inside to keep this fungus out. One thing though, has never gotten away from me and that is the deep and abiding love I have for the smell of freshly plowed soil and the taste of vegetables fresh from the garden. As a child, I remember many sunny summer afternoons sitting on the porch shelling more than my fair share of peas and butter beans in the deep dark heart of the old south. There were other vegetables we grew in our summer gardens that had to be picked and stored for winter but the peas and butter beans always seemed to take the most time and attention and are one of the things I sorely miss having left my home in the south for much cooler climes.
