Starting a Garden is a Lot Like Playing in the Dirt

Starting a Garden is a Lot Like Playing in the Dirt

During childhood you probably played in the dirt every chance you got. You dug holes, sculpted castles, drove matchbox cars around on roughed out tracks. As a child, being allowed to play in the yard may have allowed you to have a grand imagination where you dreamed of adventures in other worlds. As a grown up, it is harder to find time for playing in the dirt. This is why so many adults willingly slave over the beginnings of their garden. As gardeners, you will be able to justify the time spent working and playing in the dirt. If you are considering starting your own garden, here are some things you should do in order to have a successful garden.

Advance planning is a requirement for just about every garden. The fact is that seeds take time to grow and if you want those seeds or seedlings to really thrive they need to be put into the ground at specific times of year. It is possible that you could grow a couple of flowers here or there if you really want to. If, however, you want to have a great garden, you'll have to get used to the idea of doing a lot of work a long time in advance. There are plants that need to be planted a long time before they will start to bloom. Some plants don't bloom for an entire year after they are planted. If you want your garden to be successful you need to be prepared to make a commitment to it. You need to be patient if you want to be a good gardener. The fact of the matter is that you are just going to have to wait for a while before you will see any real tangible results of your work. The only way to bypass the waiting period is to buy plants that have already sprouted and blossomed from your local plant nursery. If you do not want to spend any money on "already grown" plants, get used to the idea of being patient and doing a lot of work while waiting to see the results of your labor. Don't freak out if you have to wait a long time to see your plants break through the surface of your soil--it can take weeks or even months for this to happen.

Don't rush. You might think about having a yard that is full of blossoming plants. If you haven't ever grown your own garden, you should start with just a plant or two. This way you don't have to fret about putting forth a large effort for something that you might not like very much in the long run. If you want to be a gardener you need to be prepared to make a commitment to your plants and you need to be patient. Would you marry a person you'd never been out with? Why would you dedicate your entire yard to vegetables if you hadn't ever grown a single strawberry?

Lots of people find gardening very exciting! You're probably already starting to imagine what it will look like when everything is in bloom. Of course, before you can get to your dreams, you need to put in some work. You need to take specific steps to make sure that your dream comes true. Doing some of the work before you begin planting and making sure to keep up with gardening tips and trends will help you make sure that you get the garden that you have been daydreaming of having.
