Growing Superb Plants In Your Home Garden in 2023
Welcome to Garden Hobbies, a great place for you and your
plants........
Gardening News!!
Exciting Times! The annual seed search has now begun. It is indeed
an exciting time for gardeners. As the snow flies outside our windows, we
sit by the fireside and dream of beautiful flowers in full bloom, and a bountiful
garden filled with our favorite herbs and vegetables. You may be surprised
to learn that gardeners begin their annual seed search on Christmas day.
On December 25th online garden stores see a huge uptick in traffic on this
day. As we progress through the month of January, more and more gardeners
seek out and buy their favorite seeds, along with something new to experiment
with, to test and expand gardening skills. What are you waiting for!? Start
your search today.

In Search of Seeds! Each
year, we begin our gardening season with a search for seeds for the upcoming
year. It's a lot of fun browsing seed catalogs, and surfing the internet
for a treasure trove of promising garden seeds. Whether you like to browse
through a seed catalog by the fireside, or surf online, make plans now to
find the seeds that you want to plant this spring.
Indoor Plant Starts - Starting seeds indoors to transplant later,
is one of the early joys of gardening. Why let the garden stores have all
the fun, when you can start your own seedlings!? While winter goes by, review
the basics of seed starting, and seedling care. As a rule of thumb, most
indoor starts should be planted six to eight weeks before the last frost
in your area.
Greenhouse Dreamin' Every gardener dreams of a greenhouse in their
back yard. Winter months are the perfect time to dream those dreams. But,
why settle with just dreaming? There's a greenhouse for just about every
budget.
Pest Control - Before you know it, your flowers and veggies will be
up and growing. ......kewl! You anxiously await the harvest. So do birds,
deer, rabbits, and a vast army of other pests. Stop the freeloaders. Ends
their snack time...period.
Have you ever taken a soil pH test in 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.
