Everyone the world over needs some special time to dedicate to themselves by doing things that really leave one feeling good about yourself, by being creative and expressing oneself and at the same time relieving stress. To this end, one of the most beloved hobbies of all time has to be gardening, giving a sense of achievement when you can actually see your results before you and definitely giving you very fulfilling me time'.
Gardening is one of the few fulfilling hobbies that you can do even if you have very little money to spare each month when we all look to stay ahead of our monthly bills and commitments. Gardening can help without expenditure each month by growing your own fruit and vegetables, which goes a long way to help feed your family.
Gardening of years ago was focused mostly on vegetable plants, and garden seeds played a prominent part in producing little seedlings to plant out our vegetables for the coming season. The mindset of most people was to produce vegetables that the family could eat, not flowers as after all you cannot eat flowers.
The gardener of today who immerses his or herself into this fulfilling hobby, can be clever and creative planting vegetable plants, shrubs, and flowers intermingled together, thus achieving the best of both worlds, ie wonderful eye candy' in the colours and shapes of beautiful flowers and the vegetables for consumption.
Gardening is a hobby where experimenting pays off, plant up a bed with bedding plants bought in plug plant format, thus giving a healthy kick start to the show, intermingled with garden bulbs, or perennial plants. This hobby is never the same, you can chop and change the planting each year, some years planting your containers with vegetables, the next year with flowers, plants used as container plants are very versatile, you can plant a miniature tree, a shrub, a lavender plant, depending how big the container, it will look great planted with almost anything, and the benefit of containers is they can be places in the most prominent position to give pleasure to the creator.
Hanging basket plants are also versatile as trailing plants look so beautiful. Strawberry plants make great hanging basket plants as they give an unusual and eye catching display with the deep green foliage, the tiny white flower and then the beautiful red of the fruit.
