Have you attended at flower show recently? If not, you’re due for a shocker!

Gone are the neat row upon row of specimens at one time the only means of displaying the products of our gardening efforts. Along with the never failing display of good specimen blooms you’ll note the sections devoted to actual flower arranging. One fine specimen is used with another to enhance the beauty of themselves and of the show. Competition is fully as keen here as it has been and will remain in the horticultural sections.

It’s catching and if you think flower arranging is not for you, be careful not to sit in on a session of arranging with the “guys” lest you find yourself secretly “placing” your favorite blooms in a tumbler on your workbench in the garage. The urge to create might be only a flicker, but it’s as certain to be inside as a desire to have our front lawn look as nice as our neighbors.

The day comes to every gardener when they cut prize blooms and brings them into the house only to find they have lost something. If he has been “exposed” to arranging he is quick to realize that nature has a planned design in the garden and in order equally to enhance the bloom he too must plan a design. He finds that by combining a variety of forms and textures according to the principles of design, it is possible to create a picture equal to and many times better than that which appeared in the garden.

In arranging flowers as in any other hobby one thing leads to another. It is a perpetual challenge to better yourself so that your next “masterpiece,” whether it be for the home, for a show or for some special occasion, will be an improvement over any previously made.

On the show level there is a specific aim… to fulfill the requirements as presented in the schedule. To do this requires not only the use of your hands but also imagination, originality, ingenuity and the applied know-how of the arranger. To accomplish successfully the combining of these abilities is a real challenge.

When the holidays come and the little woman is bustling around the kitchen fully occupied with food preparation, you’ll realize the ultimate in enjoyment in just seeing the look of gratefulness she bestows upon you when you take over the floral decorations.

And finally, after having considered the personal challenge, the urge to create and the rewards, we’ve left the most compelling reason until last. The reason so many men are entering the field of arranging is it’s just plain fun! It’s fun to collect and devise a decorative plant containers, it’s fun to learn how to use color and designing containers, and it’s fun to increase your horticultural knowledge while searching for new and unusual materials for varied effects.

A creative mind is an active mind… an active mind leaves no room for tired brain cells. Although we still are and always will be avid gardeners, we’ve found this new hobby a wonderful formula for staying young.

Bonsai trees, akin to all other living things, must have food for existence. Unlike the roots of normal trees that develop for further expanses looking for nutrition, the roots of bonsai trees are controlled to develop within the pot and hence theyll be capable of obtaining simply whatever nourishment is obtainable in the soil within the pot. Hence, the soil within the pot needs to be repeatedly refilled with the apt quantity of nutrients.

The practice of adding nutrients to the soil in which plants grow is termed Fertilizing and it is an important segment of bonsai tree care. The nutrients available in the manure will support the bonsai tree to prepare its own food by a process termed Photosynthesis. The amount and type of fertilizer to be provided for bonsai tree care is mostly based on factors like: – Kind of bonsai tree – How old is the bonsai tree – Moment of the year in which the bonsai is fertilized

The basic nutrients in fertilizers are Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium, mixed in various amounts for diverse manures. You should apply fertilizer throughout the growth period of the tree; starting early spring until mid autumn. Indoor trees nonetheless can be fertilized around the year. It is desirable to apply more quantity of fertilizer regularly (like once in two weeks) for young trees, & continue lowering the quantity & rate of recurrence as the tree matures.

So as to bestow proper bonsai tree care, never over-fertilize. Excess fertilizer causes burning of roots & leaves. Burned roots arent competent enough for absorbing water from the soil and transporting it on to the other segments of the bonsai tree. In case of over-fertilizing, continue watering the plant until the water pours outside the drain hole & let it drain. Then re-water it. This process is known as leaching & assists to do away with surplus fertilizers.

Things to keep in mind: – Always water the bonsai tree earlier to mixing the fertilizer. – Endeavor to use a water soluble fertilizer. – By no means fertilize an ill plant until it has become well again. – Even if its a development season, do not provide fertilizer to a sleeping outdoor bonsai until it demonstrates signal of growth. If it is inside, you can add fertilizer less often, like once in a month.

With apt bonsai tree care, by adding the sufficient amount of fertilizer at the proper time, youll be able to grow and uphold a healthy bonsai tree.

Your tomato garden will provide you with one of the greatest pleasures of summer: fresh homegrown tomatoes.

As noted by singer-songwriter Guy Clark, “There’s only two things money can’t buy. That’s true love and homegrown tomatoes”. Anyone who has had the good fortune of tasting a tomato fresh from the vine will surely agree with Clark. Not only do homegrown tomatoes taste scrumptious, they offer many health benefits as well. Your tomato garden will be an excellent source of

Vitamin C ( boosts immune response, gingival health, produces collagen which strengthens muscle and bone, as well as an excellent antioxidant).

Vitamin A (from beta carotene-promotes eye health by helping your eyes adjust to changes when coming in from outside, has antioxidant properties which neutralize free radicals and prevent cellular and tissue damage, and keeps the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes moist).

Lycopene- of all the foods you eat, tomatoes are the best source of lycopene anywhere ( lycopene reduces the risk of prostate cancer, and is proving to protect the heart as well as decrease blood pressure).

Those who eat more tomatoes are at less risk for a myriad of different cancers. Your tomato garden will provide you with much juicier tomatoes than you can purchase at your local grocery store. Mainly because the less juicy varieties typically purchased there are able to withstand the shipping process with little or no damage to the fruit.

Tomatoes are not traditionally considered a fruit. A fruit is the ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant, containing the seeds and occurring in a wide variety of forms. A vegetable is the edible seeds, roots, stems, leaves, bulbs or tubers of any herbaceous plant. Therefore tomatoes are fruits. To make the matter more confusing, in 1883 the United States Supreme Court declared the tomato a vegetable.

Tomatoes have a history of misinterpretation. They are perennials, but they are cultivated annually due to the fact that they cannot withstand fall frosts. They are members of the nightshade family with roots in South America. Thought to be poisonous by early pioneers, they served ornamental purposes only. Luckily Thomas Jefferson discovered the delicious possibilities, and now every person in the U.S. enjoys approximately 90 pounds of tomatoes or tomato products every year.

Since modest beginnings, tomatoes have become the most popularly grown garden plant in America. Easy to care for, good for your health, and great to eat, tomatoes make a wonderful contribution to any garden.

Back in the time before the invention of tractors, growing a crop was seriously hard work. Tremendous amounts of laborers and farm animals were needed to maintain a field or garden. Fast forward to today! Farm implements combined with a tractors 3 point hitch will allow you to produce the same results while cutting the cost of manpower. In the age of the Internet, you can research, watch demos, and even order these attachments directly online and have them delivered without getting out of your chair.

Tractors provide two different ways to attach farm implements and are standard features on most compact and full sized tractors. The 3 point hitch system allows a garden farmer to connect a seemingly endless array of tractor equipment to the rear of a garden tractor. Many of these will also need to be powered by what is known as the Power Take Off or PTO, and a good example of garden tractor attachments that would need to be powered by the tractor is a tractor rotary tiller and if you were putting up a fence around your garden, a post hole digger.

Front End Loaders on a Tractor with a quick attach hitch provides the smart farmer a way to connect not only a bucket, but also a variety of other useful farm tractor implements as well. If your tractor has auxiliary hydraulics available, you will also be able to use a tractor grapple bucket, tractor pallet forks, and pole handlers just to name a few.

When you have chosen the spot for your garden, the first implement you will use on your tractor is a plow. People have been plowing their fields since before the time of Julius Caesar. Farmers in that time used oxen and mules to pull their plows. Now we have tractors to do this hard work instead of livestock, and aren’t we all glad? Traditional plows today are called turning plows because they simply turn the soil over on the moldboard. These farm implements have advanced tremendously in their design in the past 100 years.

The second step to planting a great garden is simple. You need to bust up the large chunks of dirt known to farmers everywhere as “Clods”. There are two different farm tractor attachments that are made to accomplish this task. The first is a Disc Harrow, and these are non-PTO powered farm tractor implements. They come in many sizes to accomodate the needs for compact tractor implements as well as very large versions to suit the large farm tractors as well. Basically these run over the clods and bust them into smaller ones. After several passes with a disc harrow, the soil will reach a good consistency for planting your crops in.

Considering the tremendous amount of time that can be saved, many gardeners prefer to use a PTO driven tiller instead of a disc harrow. Yes, the rotary tillers do cost more up front, but this is easily justified if you have a large garden that you can prepare for planting your crops in one pass instead of two or more depending on how fine you like your soil to be. One more thing to consider when buying a tiller is whether or not your tractor has the horsepower to pull a tiller the full width of your tractor. If not, look for a tiller that has a clevis hitch so that you can offset the tiller to clear out one side of your tire tracks to keep from ending up with a hard spot in your garden.

Your soil has now been plowed, tilled or broken up with a disc, and is now ready for a garden bedder. Also known as a garden hiller, this attachment will mound up the soil for planting and basically creates a raised bed for your seed to lay in. Some of the larger field bedders will have a sweep option on the outside of the bedder wheels to pull up the hard spots that are left from your tractors tires in your garden. A garden bedder should be fully adjustable to create wide or narrow beds depending on what you are planting.

Now comes the not so fun part of a garden . . . taking care of the weeds that can strangle your crop. You basically have two choices in this area, hoe your garden (don’t recommend it if you have a large garden and enjoy standing upright) or you can attach a garden cultivator to your tractor. While your garden plants are young and still fighting against any unwanted competitors for sunlight, water, and minerals you will want to get rid of the competition. The premise is to stradle your plants with your tractor, and the cultivator will pull up the weeds growing in your garden. Be careful not to get your cultivator shanks too close to your crop so you do not disturb the roots, but get close enough to pull out your weeds. Once your crop is big enough to shade the area on either side of your row, you are pretty much in the clear.
