Do You Know How To Grow Your hobby?

  • October 11, 2009 10:16 am

My hobby is gardening and I plan to plant a small kitchen garden in my house after retirement. Tucked away little gardens are coming into style as people want to live healthier and greener and as they tighten their belts because of the economy. When warm weather comes, vegetables can be tucked into our flower beds. During the rainy season, the vegetables that can be grown are cucumber, gourds, pumpkin, muskmelon, lady’s finger, turmeric, mint, chilli, bitter gourd etc.

Big pots on our deck or patio can hold a couple of tomato plants, or they can overflow with cucumbers. Pumpkins can be planted near the fence to crawl up the fence posts. Small pots and window boxes can hold our favorite herbs. Cabbage and spinach make good fall crops when most blossoms are gone and the rich, colorful leaves keep our flower beds looking green and attractive.

The vegetables should be picked when they are green and tender. The excess can be sold to the visiting ‘bhajiwala’ or one can simply benefit from the fruits of their labour, eat fresh vegetables and be proud of the fact that they created something new which is environmentally safe and pure. Watering and re-potting should be done regularly.

Manures and fungicides should also be used. With regular care the garden will show good results. Thus gardening is a great hobby and good exercise. It is also quite a thrifty way to have fresh, nutritious vegetables all the time for the least money. I can get a lot of benefits not just for myself but for my whole family.
