To The Garden

January 25, 2012 By garden plants 15 Comments

What if, you knew the future, and you knew that you would need help, you knew that in the future you might have to grow your own food…

What would you do…

One day you might find that knowing how to grow your own food might be the one thing that keeps your family healthy…

It’s never too early to start little ones on healthful eating habits. Ask Nina and Jeff, two energetic mini-monsters who live in a garden full of wonderfully nutritious goodies. In To The Garden, these adorable little fiends cultivate a love of fruits and vegetables through fun-filled songs, rhymes and quizzes. “What is that orange thing buried in the ground?” “What are those red balls doing up in that tree?” They plant, hoe, harvest, and picnic their way to teaching kids the importance of fresh produce for a healthy diet. To The Garden makes small appetites grow monstrous for nature’s bounty.

Garden design

The first thing in designing a garden is the selection of the best place for your garden.

Full sunshine is the best choice however if you do not have a choice try to find the most sunlight that you can, you can also grow many different kinds of veggies in small areas, you may have seen the advertisements on TV showing the upside down tomatoes plants, sadly most of the time it just does not work out well, simply because you must have direct sunlight at least six hours out of the day.

One of the most common mistakes is trying to grow plants that need more room than you have to grow.

You can easily grow herbs in small containers, so if you have less space you can use a deep pot, to grow tomatoes.

Tomatoes need deep pots to better support the root system, the deeper you can provide support to a root system the better fruit you will get in return for your efforts.

You can grow a garden any time of year, even in the winter.

home gardening

January 25, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

The other day we saw one of those bobble heads on the news talk about how the home gardening movement was just a fad, I had to laugh because for one thing I doubt they ever lifted a finger to garden or probably even know what a shovel looks like, yet they are quick to talk about what they do not know about, that is typical of some people that depend on others for a living, in the old days, every one farmed or they starved…

Millions of People all over the world are discovering that they too can garden at home.

In fact it might someday come down to your families survival…

You can too, in fact with the high cost of fuel and the higher cost of produce, it is getting hard to afford the cost of food in the grocery stores, like during the great depression, people depended on growing to provide food for their families, that time may come again sooner than anyone ever thought.

hydroponic tomatoes

January 25, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

Growing organic veggies, and fruit, should be something that you consider simply because our food supply is not as safe as it once was.

how to grow hydroponic tomatoes

Growing tomatoes inside or outside is not science fiction you can do it, with just a few hours of preperation and you can even do this in your spare time. So what would you need to do in order to grow, home hydroponic tomatoes, well the first thing you need is an area in which to grow your tomatoes and second you need to have a light source, that can be artificial, or you can even design your hydroponic system so that it is portable.

Growing indoor tomatoes is not that hard, but how do you get them to really grow and have that tart taste that home grown tomatoes are really known for? That may be a secret, however, rain is part of the answer, if you can develop a portable system, (on wheels) then that is ideal, however if not then there are other methods to introduce the right ballance of nutrients to the hydro system.

Tomatos can be grown anywhere in the world. It has been estimated that almost 90 percent of the vegetable gardeners have this crop in their garden.

But how can you grow tomatoes inside and still get the growth that you need in order to enjoy the fruit all year long, now that may be something that is a little more difficult, but not impossible.

Gardening for survival

January 17, 2012 By garden Leave a Comment

There may come a time in the not too distant future where your ability to feed your family might in part depend upon if you can grow food or not, that is something you want to really pay attention to. Cultivating food is not that hard, but there are some things that you need to understand.

1. You need three basic things.

Water, Sunlight, Heat, in the right proportions.

Too much of any one of these things, and you end up with nothing.

Back years ago, when farming was not just a hobby if you did not manage your crops correctly you ended up not having enough food to make it through the winter. That was long before the concept of the supermarket came into being.

We have become used to being able to go to any store and buy what ever we want or need, and in some cases you can buy what you do not need too. What happens though when you find out that the cost of food gets so high that the average person can no longer afford it buy it, or what might happen if the food is not safe to eat?

Think about that for a few moments.

Remember over the last few months, and in fact over the last two years there have been several outbreaks of food borne illnesses, that have killed people, if you were part of that what might happen to your family then?

It is a serious thing and it is something that you need to be prepared to deal with.

Rain Water pollution?

January 17, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

Is rain water becoming polluted by airborne contaminates?

effects of pollution can cause a lot of problems and it may well be that we are seeing the beginning of some serious problems that we may face in the future if something is not done soon to reduce the emission of pollutants in the air.

The idea of this issue being a strong one is something that should be investigated soon simply because we could be in the process of wiping out hundreds of years of evolution in our forests by allowing too many contaminates in large cities.

The idea is not a new one and has been championed by many over the years, however largely this has been ignored by both the media and the main stream consumer.

However, looking at the rate of Deforestation, that we are beginning to see both due to natural causes and by harvesting trees, we could in the very near future be facing a serious issue with erosion such as happened in the dust bowl which some have argued occurred when too many trees were harvested and none were planted in its place.

In fact we can see this issue where we live, huge areas are being logged out and nothing is being done to plant new trees, this is not only disturbing but also dangerous.

So, are we looking at plant diseases caused by fallout from large cities in America?

Might we find that we are inviting the ruin of farm crops that sustain and support millions of people all over the world?

What if we found that we were polluting our way into a situation that might take years to over come?

Take in to account that fewer than three days of supplies are kept by most grocery stores and you have the ingredients of a huge disaster.

The idea that this could be a serious issue is one that some are studying, however it is not enough to just look at the problem we must find a solution because if this does not stop and stop soon, we could be looking at a famine, people would starve to death, yes, in America.

Pollution is a problem in large cities, and when strong winds blow through a city and can pick up dust and contaminates, and move them miles away, then you have the potential for mass pollution of the environment.

It is serious and it could cause massive loss of crops due to this pollution factor.

Drip irrigation

January 17, 2012 By garden plants Leave a Comment

The real Green in conservation is conserving water.

Developing a system of watering at the root level is nothing new however it is something that many cultivaters are seriously looking into now that we have what appears to be a change in our climate and a change in what has traditionally been a wet sring but less water means you need to make plans to take advantage of what you have.

In some areas it is really dry and when you tink about how much difference conserving water can make it can be serioiusly instructive.

Drip irrigation is said to require up to 70 percent less water, because you literally are watering under the plant rows. Like we have done in this photo, we can water from under neath the row, at the root level.

Developing your own irrigation system can save you a lot of water as well as creating additional produce. Trickle irrigation really does help the plants because so much of the disease that effect plants comes from leaf contact, using water irrigation not only saves water, which is a great thing when you in a hot dry climate, but it also creates great growth for plants.
