Growing Superb Plants In Your Home Garden in 2022

Welcome to Garden Hobbies, a great place for you and your plants........

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.... In the heat of July, there's nothing better than your favorite iced drink and a hammock in a shaded back yard. A shady yard doesn't mean a yard devoid of flowers and plants. It means carefully 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. Seed companies begin to run out of seeds just as your second season begins. Buy now, to make sure you have the seeds you need from now until the end of the growing season.
