First, you have to know how much space that you have for a garden. If you have little to no space, no worries, you can always do container gardening or indoor gardening. If you have a big garden, you might want to plan the landscape and how much space that can be dedicated to your gardening activities.
Elements of Gardening No basic gardening advice is complete without introducing to you some of the required elements in gardening. These knowledge is extremely useful if you want to grow a blooming garden that everyone will admire.
Soil - Soil provides the necessary nutrients for your plant. Thus, it is a crucial element in determining your gardening success. Most of the time, the soil in your garden is not enough to ensure optimum growth. Gravel, sand and compost should be mixed properly with your garden soil to maintain the drainage and nutrients of the soil.
Plants - To pick the type of plants that you want to have in your garden, you must first understand the climate of your living area and the amount of sun and rain it receives. You can avoid the fuss of searching high and low for these info by asking your neighbors who actually have their own garden. Local nurseries can be very helpful in providing these gardening advice as well.
Landscape - Basically, the whole presentation and theme of your garden depends on the landscaping. Landscaping involves placing accessories in your garden, allocating different plants to different areas according to a plan and creating a garden with a specified theme. A garden without proper landscaping is like a messy bedroom.
Irrigation - Irrigation is simply referring to the method that you use to water your plants. You can always use the traditional hose watering but it will require some effort. The most sophisticated type of watering system will be the drip irrigation. The obvious downside is that it comes with a high price.
The above gardening advice are some of the very basic gardening tips. if you want to go deeper and learn more

Gardening Tool Pictures - Seeing Is Believing
We will show you why the pictures of gardening tools make the process of shopping for your gardening supplies much easier.
Pictures of Gardening Tools will save you from unpleasant surprises
Considering the mind-boggling variety of gardening tools that are available in the market for outdoor gardening, landscaping and container gardening, one can get quite frustrated looking for the most appropriate one. Moreover, the buying decisions cannot be merely based on reading a few normally incomplete descriptions. Even if detailed in nature, descriptions are just not convincing enough unless one gets a visual first hand look of the product. Pictures are the next best alternative to help you in your purchases. There are no surprises involved in case of pictures of gardening tools, as what you get to see is what you get. We all will agree with the saying that a picture says a thousand words.
That's How it Looks!
There are many different methods of shopping for ones gardening tools. The most common one is buying them from the nearest gardening center. However, with changing lifestyles, one doesn't normally get the time to go and check out what all is available. Thus, other mediums of shopping such as catalogs and internet retail stores are gaining wide popularity. This is also because one gets to find a far better range of gardening tools in catalogs and online retail stores. Moreover, it's far easier to select the gardening tools when there are pictures available along with comprehensive descriptions. In the online medium, one can even zoom into the product photos and get a closer view of the tools.
A wide range to choose from
It is strongly suggested that you buy only those gardening tools from catalogs and internet that have a picture alongside the descriptions. Making purchases without pictures is like aiming arrows in the dark. The kind of pictures available may vary depending on the medium. If digital in nature, the pictures can even be zoomed into. One should always make it a point to match their own pictures with the ones that are shown in the print or online catalogs. It is not rare that sometimes descriptions have wrong pictures shown besides them by mistake. The photographs of the gardening tools are beneficial in following ways:
- They are clearly able to show the gardening tools design - They save precious shopping time - They help significantly in picking out the exact gardening tool that is required to do a certain job. - They narrow down the search for specific gardening tools - The internet medium can also have a streaming short video clipping to demonstrate the tool in use. - They help in differentiating between various gardening tools available - They can effectively help one in determining the grip textures even without holding the tool manually
There you are!
Nothing matches the feeling of immense satisfaction that one gets when one opens up the merchandise box to find out that he's got exactly what he wanted. Making ones purchases of gardening tools with assistance from the pictures also avoids undue stress in case one has to return the wrong item and search all over again while the season is passing by. In the end, it can be fairly concluded that if you refer to the pictures of the gardening tools, you will receive spade when you ask for a spade and a shovel when you ask for a shovel! No two thoughts about that!

Organic Garden Insecticides
I am an avid organic vegetable gardener. I take pride in my garden and all the vegetables that it produces for my family. Organic Gardening has saved me money and my family is eating healthier. My one problem is the bugs that eat my veggies. Finding natural, organic gardening insecticides to rid your garden of these pesky buggers is simple and easy.
Growing your own organic garden is rewarding, money saving and healthier for our families and our environment. Protecting your garden from plant eating pests with organic gardening insecticides is just as important.There are many ways that we can eliminate these pests with household items without causing damage to your family, pets and your environment.
There are many items that you have on hand that will deter pests in your garden and you can use as organic insecticides....
1. Eggshells are a great way to deter slugs. Crush the eggshells and spread them around your plants and/or in the soil. The eggshells are like broken pieces of glass to slugs. Use eggshells in your garden and no more slugs.
2. Dishwashing detergents is another household items that you can use as an Organic Insecticide. Just mix some dishwashing detergents with water and mix well. Spray your mixture and it will paralyze the pests eating your organic garden.
3. Garlic is a great organic garden insecticide, it's actually called an Allium, a bulb type plant that smells. You can crush your garlic, mix with water and spray your plants. Spraying your plants with this garlic mixture kills soft bodied insects and will even paralyze the flying insects.
Looking For Something A Little Stronger Yet Safe?
There are many organic insecticides that you can purchase that are environmentally safe for you and your family.
Natural garden insecticides made of Neem, which is used as one of the main ingredients for natural insecticides. Neem is from the Neem Tree and is a very low toxic insecticide. Neem will destroy soft body insects and will also help in increasing the reproduction of your plants.
Do You Count The Spots On Ladybugs?
Every time I see a ladybug, I have to make a wish and count the dots on their backs! Ladybugs are most common of all beneficial insects, as pretty as they are they are predators that feed on aphids, chinch bugs, asparagus beetle larvae, thrips, alfalfa weevils, bean thrips, grape root worms, Colorado potato beetle larvae, whitefly, and mites, as well as many other soft-bodied insects and eggs. Extremely cost effective, too!
Imagine ordering live ladybugs....but then again I had to order live ants for my son's school project, you just never know.
Ann Cohen is an organic garden who loves to share her tips and tricks about organic gardening. "There is nothing better than getting your hands in the soil and watching your plants grow!!! Getting a fresh organic tomato off the vine, doesn't get any better than that!!!"

Gardening Your Way to Better Health
Anybody who has ever tried their hand at gardening will put themselves into one of two categories; those with green thumbs, and those who are all thumbs. People with green thumbs are natural born growers, they can make anything they plant grow and thrive. People who don't have green thumbs are usually the ones who have an interest in gardening, but every time they try to grow something, or even keep it alive, it shrivels up and dies.
Gardening has been around since the beginning of time, and has become more popular for what it once was, and for the many new reasons of today. The homesteader of years ago planted, plowed, and picked for basic survival. He couldn't find a whole foods store to go and buy all his organic foods from, he had to harvest his, and sometimes even an entire village worth of people's, food to survive. Now the agriculturists of today have many more reasons for harvesting the land that include the altruistic and aesthetic varieties.
Gardening is one of those things that can come off as being very unappealing at first glance, especially when you start off with an unkempt piece of land and have no idea where to start. To get yourself to the state of mind that opens it and your eyes, you need to realize that no matter what condition the land is in, it s a living breathing entity; a living entity that has the power to sustain us, with or without our help. But we cannot say the same about it, and we cannot live without it.
Getting down to level of the soil is a good way to stretch our bodies. As we let our hands and fingers dig deep into the ground, we are allowing ourselves to experience life on a whole other level, not just from where our bodies meet the ground with our feet. But the life that exists and goes on without detection or voice, so that we can continue to go on. This life that already exists even with no visible flowers or fruit, is waiting to have contact with us, and will respond to us. With respect to what we plant, if we are mindful to plant crops that will be able to easily thrive in the area and soil type that we plant them in; we will experience the wonder of having taken part in the creation of new life.
For any time or effort that we put into the soil, and the things it grows, we get a hundred fold in return. We can choose to be considerate and plant one thing at a time, in the correct climate and condition for what we are planting. We can choose to plant flowers that will scent the air around us with fragrances more exquisite than any that man can make. And we can carefully tend to fruit trees that will yield fruit sweeter than candy.
There really is no way to become this close to nature and its wonders and not start to feel the bounty of health and peace that the garden plants within us each time we go out to tend to it.

10 Things to Grow in Your Garden This Season
Are you hoping to establish a flourishing garden this year? If so, you are not alone. More people than ever are starting gardens. Some are hoping for organic produce. Others are looking for ways to cut down on the grocery budget. The following are ten of the most beneficial items to grow in your garden and why you may want to do so.
1. Tomatoes: Perhaps the best option for long term use is the tomato. Choose a variety like Italian Romas or Beefstake which are hearty. Use them in salads, make tomato sauce with them which you can store long term in jars. You can also make stewed tomatoes and salsa and have it available to you year round. Tomatoes are fairly easy to grow, too.
2. Herbs: Growing a few herbs in your garden (or in a small container near a kitchen window) is a fantastic way to freshen up meals. Choose herbs like rosemary, cilantro, parsley, and basil. They can be dried for long term use.
3. Cucumbers: These are some of the easiest vegetables to grow. They do take up a bit of room, but kids love this fresh taste.
4. Peppers: Bell peppers are relatively easy to grow in warmer climates. If you wish to grow hot peppers, you definitely need high temperatures. Still, they can be added to sauces and salsas both fresh and canned. You can dry hot peppers, too, to use throughout the winter months as a way to warm up.
5. Strawberries: Those who love these fresh berries will enjoy growing them. You can also grow them in pots in a sunny location. They continuously produce crops of berries. You may even wish to consider raspberries and blueberries if your climate allows for them.
6. Squash: Summer squash and butternut squash are two favorites. They provide for a hearty meal and they last a long time after harvesting them when stored in a cool, dry location. Add them to soups, stews or serve as their own dish.
7. Beans: Beans are very easy to grow. After sowing them, it only takes a few weeks before you'll have a strong growth and will be nearly picking them. They will continue to produce so long as you are gentle with the removal of the beans. Choose from many varieties.
8. Corn: For those with a large area for growing vegetables, consider corn. Most people love its taste and it can be a good producer. The only drawback is the long growth time and the amount of space it can take up.
9. Watermelon: Summer is never complete without watermelon. You can grow it in your garden without a lot of work. It does spread widely so be sure that you have enough room to allow for its long reaching arms!
10. Salad Greens: Greens of all types can do very well in a garden. You can grow salad greens, collard greens or any others that you prefer. You can also consider broccoli and cauliflower, green cabbage and red cabbage.
These top ten items are just the start. There are so many wonderful vegetables and fruits to enjoy fresh from the garden.

Tomato Growing - 3 Things You Need to Know
There are three major issues that you should know to get the most out of your tomato plants. Growing tomatoes is easy, but a little planning ahead of time ensures that your tomatoes will be disease-free, plump, juicy and prolific. Here are three tomato growing tips to begin your gardening journey:
1. Choose the best location - Tomatoes love sun, so the location you choose should be sunny, whether it's a spot in your outdoor garden or a container on the patio. You must have a minimum of 6 hours sunlight for your tomatoes to produce their fruit.
2. Nutrients and water consumption - Your tomato plants must have the proper nutrients and the right amount of water to produce the fresh-tasting and fruit-bearing results you want. Before you plant the tomatoes, work the soil with a compost or fertilizer to create a rich venue for your seedlings. Periodically give your plants a lift with a fertilizer - used coffee grounds placed around the base of the plants will also help.
Your tomato plants are thirsty little creatures when they're growing, so it's important that you water them frequently. Don't let the soil dry out and then deluge the tomato plants with water. Consider a drip water system to ensure that the plants receive water on a timely basis. A great tip for do-it-yourself gardeners is to wash out gallon milk jugs, pierce the sides and bottom with holes, and then bury them in the soil between your tomato plants with only the top sticking out of the ground. Fill the jugs with water and they'll release it as the soil dries out, ensuring that the plants are watered deeply.
3. Stake or cage your tomato plants - Tomatoes are vines and must be kept from growing across the ground, leaving them susceptible to disease or fungus, so be sure to stake your plants early on. Some people prefer cages that you can purchase at any garden store. Staking your tomato plants while they're young will also prevent disturbing their root formation later on.
These are the three main tips to get started growing tomato plants. But, you must also be diligent in pruning dead leaves and branches and harvest the tomatoes when they're ripe and ready to eat.
If you have a problem, there's plenty of information online or in helpful books that will address some of the roadblocks you may come across when growing tomatoes. Be patient and soon you'll have the fresh, sun-ripened taste of tomatoes on your table.
Growing tomatoes isn't just fun - it's downright rewarding and delicious. When you know what your tomatoes need to grow and you are picking bucket-loads of them you will be the envy of your neighborhood.
