Growing Superb Gardens and Plants
Welcome to Garden Hobbies, a great place for you and
your plants........
Gardening News:
Planting Time is a wonderful time of year. As you plant your
victory garden, just be sure to provide your young plants protection against
frost, cold weather and strong winds. Help them to get their feet established
into their newhome. And, enjoy wathcing them grow!
The Pesky Bug of 2008- The 17 Year Cicada returned last year to some
areas. The 2008 Brood will hit an even larger area of the country. Will they
infest your area? Do they bother gardens? Do you need to cover up small trees
and shrubs? Find the answers to these questions and more.
Pest Control - Your flowers and veggies are up and growing. ......kewl!
You are anxiously awaiting the harvest. So are the birds, deer, rabbits,
and a vast army of other pests. Check out the Buffet Buster! It ends their
snack time...period.
In Search of 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".
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.
Shrub Guard - Protect your bushes and shrubs from
foraging deer and rabbits. Help to avoid ice and snow damage to Arborvitaes
and other shrubs.
Homeowners love Arborvitae. Fast growing with little care, they are
among the most popular of evergreens for both foundation plants and hedgerows.
More on Arborvitaes.
