Grow Organic Produce For Your Family With These Tips
Gardening is a great way to grow delicious fruits and vegetables right in your backyard. There is nothing as good as a fresh tomato on a sandwich or fresh salsa. A wide variety of information is available online, in magazines and in horticulture books to help you grow a healthy, luscious garden.

Clay soil can be very hard to work with, and you will often find that it sticks to the shovel. Coat the shovel with floor or car wax, and buff it with a clean rag to make the job a lot easier. The wax will help keep dirt from sticking to the shovel, as well as keep the metal from rusting.

Slug-proof your garden with smart perennial choices. Slugs and snails are voracious eaters that can destroy a plant literally overnight. They often enjoy feeding on perennials with very smooth and tender leaves. Young plants are a special favorite of theirs. There are perennials that slugs do not want to eat, the ones that they hate have hairy leaves, or are unappealing to their taste. Some of examples of these are achillea, heuchera, campanula, helleborus, and euphorbia.

Plant a variety of annuals, biennials and perennials to keep your flower beds bright. These flowers grow quickly and can be planted at any time during the year. If you want to maintain a flower garden all year or you want to add new flowers to reflect the changing seasons, annuals and biennials are for you. They are very helpful when attempting to fill in gaps between shrubs and perennials in an area that is sunny. You should get varieties such as cosmos, petunia, rudbeckia, hollyhock, sunflowers or marigold.

When fall is here, you need to plant autumn edibles. If you want to locate an interesting container for your lettuce or kale, try a pumpkin! When you have finished cutting and washing the pumpkin, spray it with some liquid that will prevent wilting to keep it from rotting. Once you have completed this, start planting!

Tender deciduous shrubs are very fragile, so protect them. When these tender shrubs are kept in pots, cold weather can be very damaging. Tie these canes at the top, and put a blanket over it. This is a much better method, instead of putting the plastic wrap around the plant. It allows proper air circulation that can prevent rotting.

As was mentioned earlier, gardening is a wonderful opportunity. You can grow fresh vegetables or delicious fruits on your own property! You will enjoy the proud feeling you will get the first time you are able to use the plants that you have grown in preparing a meal. Use the advice in this article to optimize your efforts in the garden and yield amazing results.
