Download or read book Perennial Gardening Discover This Guide About How To Effectively Use Perennial Gardening Techniques For Beginner s written by Old Natural Ways and published by FASTLANE LLC. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing popularity of Perennial Gardening, it is easy to see that many individuals enjoy the healthy benefits of gardening whether they are planting annuals, perennials, vegetables, flowers or shrubs. What is most interesting about perennial gardening is that it is a very versatile type of gardening and there is a lot of variety in the plants that can be grown using this method of gardening. A Perennial Gardener does not have to buy seeds each year as they do with annuals and others can enjoy the process of Perennial Gardening year after year. This article will give you some ideas of what types of plants can be planted using a Perennial Gardening guide. One type of plant that can be found in a Perennial Gardening guide is the flower fixation. The flower fixation, or ramblers, is a type of shrub that will grow in the soil year round. There are different forms of the flower fixation such as ramblers with small blooms or ramblers with large blooms. Other Perennial Gardeners include the California poppy and the California bluebell. Perennial vegetables are wonderful additions to any Perennial Gardening garden and some of the best ones are those that grow from seeds. One of the best ways to grow seeds to include in your Perennial Gardening is by starting with tomatoes. Tomatoes are a very good choice because they are both easy to take care of and will always produce berries when planted. There are also many choices for Perennial Vegetables such as Bell peppers, broccoli, cabbage, cilantro, lettuce, peas, spinach, squash, turnips and many more. Many of the vegetables mentioned here can grow on their own if they are properly taken care of but it is also possible to grow many other plants as well. Perennial gardens are a good way to save money as well as time by planting seeds only once and then just wait for them to grow. With Perennial Gardening you do not have to pay a lot of attention to the plants as they will typically grow right up until the next growing season. This means that you can basically plant anything in your garden and it will grow throughout the year. If you want a specific color of a flower or color of the soil, you can grow the plants that are in your area all year. This is also very helpful if you are having problems getting certain plants to grow.

Download or read book A New Garden Ethic written by Benjamin Vogt and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.
