Spring is the best time of year to start a garden because the weather is mild and there is hardly any wind. This makes it easy to work in the garden, and the plants will thrive in the fertile soil. If you are new to gardening, spring is a great time to start out because the growing season is short and there is relatively little risk of frost. You can also plant vegetables or flowers in a garden in spring, but be careful not to over-water them or they may become susceptible to pests or diseases.
Summer is a great time to grow plants, but it can be hot and exhausting. Make sure to plan your garden so that you can take advantage of the warm weather and get the most out of your plants. Use organic soil and water sparingly to keep your plants healthy, and don't forget to mulch them if possible to help them conserve moisture.
Notice the beauty of the fresh flowers in springtime. They represent new life and a time of hope. They are a reminder of all that is good in life.
Winter is a time for reflection. In the cold, crystalline air, we can see snowflakes falling gently to the ground. This winter, let your mind wander as you take in the beauty of nature outside your window. Fill your days with contemplative activities to help you explore the inner workings of your mind and heart. Look forward to a time when spring will arrive and the green leaves will start to poke through the snow.
I like to garden in a natural way, with plants that I can find in my neighbourhood. I often plant vegetables and fruit trees, but I also like to include flowers, such as dahlias and zinnias, in my garden. It's fun to mix up the types of plants and see what looks best in my space.
containers add visual interest and height to any garden space while adding a touch of nature to your home.
