Gardening is War

I know you probably have read gardening books that gave you some tips on garden design, and been told by everybody that has ever planted a garden and thinks they too are a professional gardener, and wish to share their secret tips on garden design.

Who am I to change lanes or advise delivery on such a well traveled road, a job done so much better by my predecessors? I would but ask your indulgence as I try to share the impressions form the scenes I beheld and impart through my gardeners eye.

Have you ever been driving in the country, and as you pass an average home, suddenly the whole place takes on a surprising beautiful eye catching quality. It’s sort of shocking, realizing what it was that brought on this awesome transformation.

First glance it was just any ordinary home on a piece of sculptured ground, until your eyes were transfixed by the garden. Without a doubt in your mind you knew this is the way a garden was meant to be.

Such a feast of beauty for the eyes, that it enhanced the entire grounds and home. I would have gladly taken notes from this man for his Tips on Garden Design.

These people I must admit had an eye for beauty he was an earth artist, and deserved a trophy for this beautiful gardening design. She had impeccable taste for color

I have often likened a well designed garden unto an artist’s use of oils or a sculptured masterpiece, the rows being his brush, or chisel, the plants his paints, the ground his easel and canvas.

Some of the garden paths were made of colored gravel, while other paths were made up of different shades of soil. These methods would work in larger gardens as well. An expanse of manicured lawn space broke up the beds of flowered plants and the soon to be harvested food portions of the garden.

I remember thinking that the person living here must have held an important stressful job. In the middle of this expanse of garden beauty was a pond built with different kinds of stacked marble,shale,and arranged white limestone. Colored underwater lights lit the pond center. There a statue of a maiden stood pouring water from a pitcher.

On the right side a little vine-covered gazebo held two chairs facing out over the pond. You could tell it was arranged to encompass the majority of a well earned artistic endeavor.
Two my way of thinking a man built this for the pleasure and love of his wife, the home, the fenced in yard, the sculptured earth masterpiece. As well to relieve the stress of there daily lives, so you see a garden can be of use for many things besides just food.

Some insects feed on other harmful insects. Some kinds of ladybugs do this as well. With a helping hand from mister warts himself – that is right, he is a benefit to a garden. The culprit of whom I speak is that wart-riddled frog called the toad! The appetite for insects of this little creature at a feeding is a site to behold. “Hint!” The toad feeds at night. During the day it likes to rest in the humid shade.

The two types of insects are easily spotted by the damage they do to your garden. The caterpillars in all their varieties and, of course, the dreaded locust, singularly known as the grasshopper, and the beetle. There are the slugs, also cut worms, the dastardly tomato worm, all of the variety that likes to eat the young succulent plants.

Growing a herb garden, it is easily planted and just as easily grown and maintained. While herbs might not seem as significant as other plants, you’ll enjoy the constant availability of fresh herbs.

When choosing the herbs you wish to grow merely look in your kitchen cabinets there you will find the perfect list to fit your garden needs.

When looking for an area to put your herb garden, you should remember that the soil should have decent drainage. If the soil gets over watered, you have little to no chance of ever boasting healthy plants.

One of the best ways to fix the drainage problem is to dig a foot or so deep in the ground, and put a layer of chipped or broken rock down then replace the dirt This will allow for water drain off.

When you begin planting herbs, you might be tempted to purchase the most expensive starter plants. However, with herbs it is much easier to grow them from seed so why use starter plants.

Therefore you can save a good deal of money by sticking with seeds. Some herbs grow at a fast rate. You plant a mint plant in an enclosed area like a clay pot.If you do not it will take over your garden.

As a matter fact you can pretty much grow herbs year round, outside during the summer.With an artificial light system they can be grown inside in pots in the winter. With this method come spring time you will have starters plants in abundance.

You should wait until your plant has been growing for at least six or seven months before doing any harvesting. Give your plant time for maturing this will assure years of premium herbs come harvest time.

Once harvested you will want to add your herbs to your kitchen, When you are ready to start drying them out. Some advocate a quick dry by placing them on a sheets and baking them at 165 degrees for between two to four hrs.

Myself I prefer the O natural method of slow drying, as far as I am concerned there some things that nature just does better. I find that I prefer the slow aged taste to herbs.

Storing your herbs for later use, keep them in a plastic or glass containers I find crocks work well.Be careful what you use to store your herbs in because they can absorb the taste of the container.

During the first few weeks of storage check the herbs for moisture that may accumulate.This erases any chance of the dreaded mildew contaminating your herbs.

Consider growing a herb garden. It might require a bit of work at first but the end results will be well worth the effort.
