So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Useful Ideas To Help Your Garden Grow

By Jess King


Gardening is a hobby which not only relaxes you, but can provide you with delicious food. Just a few of the common questions gardeners have are what type of soil to use, what kind of equipment is needed, and when is the best time for planting seeds. The tips you will find below will guide you through those questions and more.

* Some bees, like bees, pollinate your plants and are beneficial to your garden. There are certain bees, like carpenter bees, that can be harmful because they eat wood and create their nests inside them. Overall, bees are beneficial to your garden, and should be left to go about their merry way helping your garden grow. Broad-spectrum pesticides should be avoided in your garden. In addition, these pesticides destroy the good insects which eat pests. Good bugs are often more sensitive to pesticides than their bad counterparts, so if the population of good bugs goes down, the pest problem can grow. You will need even more pesticides to deal with the problem, and it will never really go away.

* Pest control is one of the hardest things about growing a vegetable garden. Don't spray any harsh chemicals on your vegetables because you will be eating them later on. To safely keep your garden pest-free, keep a sharp eye out. If you find any unwanted pests, try removing them by hand. During the hottest hours of each day, your vegetables become too soft, and even gentle harvesting will cause damage and bruising. Be certain that you cut picked vegetables straight off from the vine itself and not by twisting them off, because you don't want to harm the plant.

* Plant some trees that produce fall fruits. Many people think that trees only produce fall foliage; however, there are many decorative trees that produce colorful berries and fruit. Berries come in shades of yellow to dark red, and they can last all winter long; these will add a touch of color to your garden, and provide food for birds. The best varieties include hawthorn, holly, crab apple and choke berry.

* When tending a vegetable garden, you might find that pest control is a bit difficult. It's likely you don't want to spray pesticides around the vegetables you intend to eat. Instead of resorting to these harmful chemicals, you can keep garden pests at bay simply by paying close attention. If you discover the pests when they first infest your plants, the best way to remove them is to pick them off manually.

As you have learned from this article, gardening can seem like quite the task, yet is manageable if you know what you're doing. Remembering good advice and planning well can help your garden flourish. By taking the tips given and preparing what you need in advance, you will find yourself with a beautiful garden in no time. And, if you have planted fruits, vegetables, and herbs, you can store them with the use of a food dehydrator such as l'equip dehydrator and enjoy what you have harvested.
