Garden Hose Information
It may seem like a hose is just a hose. However, each spring, home improvement stores and garden centers fill aisles with different types of garden hoses.

Read moreGarten theme is the best choice
Garden themes are not uncommon among sprawling areas where homeowners can use as much space as they want. But lately, even down-town apartment tenants have made use rooftops, and other reclaimable small pieces of spaces to create their patch of greenery in. People have also made use of different garden themes that allow them to be virtually transported to a different place, a different time, just by being in their themed-garden.

Take care of your garden daily
One of the most mystifying things that can happen in your garden is when a plant gets a disease. How did it happen? Will it spread? Will all my plants die? How can I get rid of it? The most important thing to understand about disease prevention is something called the disease triangle (drawing, right). Disease can only happen when three things coincide: you have a plant that can get sick (a host), a pathogen (like a fungus, bacterium, or virus) that can attack the plant, and environmental conditions (like humidity or drought) that promote the disease. If any one of these things is not present, the disease will not happen, so prevention involves knocking out at least one side of the triangle. Rather than waiting for a problem to pop up in your garden, consider the best defense against disease to be a good offense. What follows are 10 ways you can eliminate at least one side of the disease triangle and keep your plants healthy.

It turns out that our indoor plants are a little more sensitive than we thought. While many of us are more worried about over-watering our frondy friends, it turns out the tunes we’re blasting at home could be having more of an impact on the growth and productivity of your plants than we think.

Edible or not, I like to see at least a few in every garden.) Focus on the fruits, vegetables or herbs that your family enjoys the most. Make sure your top choices make sense for your area. Figure out your gardening zone and estimated first and last frost dates. If possible, talk to successful gardeners in your area to find out which crops grow well and which don’t.

Ditching power tools made me a happier gardener
We gardener's love our tools and even though we have our favorites we can't resist trying new tools for gardening as we come across them. Regardless of the size of your garden there are basic tools that are needed for all gardens. There are the extras that are nice to have. Then there's the "Big Boy" or "Big Girl" Toys. These cost more and are really nice to use; if you have a large garden or piece of property than these are actually necessities for maintaining your property.

Planting an Edible Landscape Edible Landscaping is probably the oldest form of gardening and when we are talking and considering edible landscaping we are really returning to our roots by creating something that can not only be beautiful but also provide food for you and your family all year round.
When a lot of people think of edible gardening they immediately assume that the only edible food to be found in a garden are vegetables and that you need an allotment or purpose built area to grow and maintain edible plants, vegetables, fruits and herbs. This could not be further from the truth, with a little thought you will be able to integrate your edible plants directly into your landscape, generally without any interruption.
