Welcome to Garden Hobbies, a great place for

Plant Problems.... For most of us, our gardens are
growing strong with a profusion of flowers, vegetables and fruits.
However, when a problem occurs, panic understandably sets in. There's
a frantic search for the cause and a quick fix.
About Plant Problems and Diseases
Made in the Shade.... A shady yard doesn't mean a yard devoid of flowers
and plants It means selecting and growing the right plants for a shady
environment. Many plants thrive in low light conditions. Most popular among
these are ferns and hostas. More on Shade
Gardens.
Composting starts now.... and continues all season long. Correction:
make that "all year" long. The best gardens are grown by gardeners who make
their own compost. More on Composting.
Second Season Seeds - We use seeds all year long. Once the main crops
have been planted, we all need seeds for succession planting, and later on,
for cool weather, short maturity harvest. Southern areas actually begin
their second season in mid summer. Our sister site has seeds in stock all
year long.
Garden Seeds - find seeds, learn about the
different types.

Fall Planted Bulbs August brings to mind bulbs for fall planting.
They are now arriving in the marketplace. The highest quality bulbs don't
have to be the most expensive. Look for the largest bulbs, which produce
the biggest spring blooms. Storage is important to bulb health. Avoid the
"big box" stores, which don't properly store them, and offer lower, sometimes
disappointing quality.
Harvest Time means canning and drying fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
You worked hard to grow them. Now, you can prepare and store excess foods
for later use.....kewl!
Pest Protection - Protect your garden, bushes and
shrubs from foraging wildlife. Keep deer and bunnies from nibbling and snacking
on your plants.
Homeowners love Arborvitae. Fast growing with little care, they are
among the most popular of evergreens for both foundation plants and hedgerows.
