Growing Superb Gardens and Plants
Welcome to Garden Hobbies, a great place for
you and your plants........
Gardening News:
In Search of Garden Seeds! Each
year, we begin our gardening season with a search for seeds for the upcoming
year. Its a lot of fun browsing seed catalogs, and surfing the internet for
our treasure trove of promising seeds. Whether you like to browse through
a seed catalog by the fireside, or surf online, we've got you covered with
hundreds of varieties to choose from. Our Ferry Morse Seeds are always 50%
off. And, Ferry Morse offers a 100% "guarantee to grow".
Leftover Poinsettias Everywhere - Now What!? - They are a symbol of
the recent holiday season. Most likely, they are still blooming in
your home, long after you've put away the holiday decorations. So, now what
do you do with them?
Growing and Caring
for Poinsettias
Houseplants Love January - Most likely, your houseplants were neglected
during the holidays. Now, we turn our attention back to houseplants, for
their sake, and to satisfy our need to get our fingers into some dirt. Renew
your relationship with your houseplants with a shot of fertilizer, and a
little water.
Have you ever taken a soil pH test on your houseplants? Why not? Each
pot can result in wild swings on the pH scale. An off balance pH in
your houseplant's soil, often is the answer for a sick plant.
Read the Good Book.... There's plenty of good books on gardening.
Reading a book on gardening, or your favorite plant, is a great way to help
the winter months go by quicker. There's always something new to learn when
you dig into gardening related books. There's also plenty of tips and learnings
in our growing list of "how to" pages. So, make sure to surf our site and
stop back often.
Homeowners love Arborvitae. Fast growing with little care, they are
among the most popular of evergreens for both foundation plants and hedgerows.
