Timely Tip for March Gardeners
from Calloway's Nursery
This is
the year to grow your own fruits and vegetables! Our most popular clinic
in 2009 was our “Spring Vegetables and Herbs” clinic and we will be
hosting two clinics on that topic in March.
Many
positive things come from growing a garden. Working in a garden can help
to relieve stress and increase your overall activity level. Sunlight can
improve sleep, deter depression and promote a stronger immune system.
Growing your own garden allows you to control what fertilizers,
pesticides and fungicides are used during the raising of your crops.
But, most importantly, vegetables and fruits grown in a home garden tend
to be more flavorful and nutritious!
When selecting a site for your gardens keep these
requirements in mind. All vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct
sunlight each day. Eight to 10 hours each day is ideal. The soil should
be fertile and easy to work. Improve the texture by adding organic
compost material. Container gardening is perfect if you have space or
soil limitations. Gardens will need at least one inch of water per week
including rainfall.
