Edible Garden Articles

If you want a gorgeous garden but your yard doesn’t get a lot of natural sunlight, don’t be disappointed! You will be happy to know that there are several different plants and flowers that grow very well in very little sunshine and even in blankets of shade. In fact, you may be surprised to learn what kinds of flowers actually prefer shade to sun, and how your shady yard can become a mecca of beautiful blooms.

Edible flowers are still something a lot of people don’t take advantage of when it comes to adding a little something extra to their plates and glasses. And rightfully so if you don’t have a garden, since you can’t be sure of the quality or health of them when buying some from the store. However, if you have a luscious garden that is maintained organically, edible flower cocktails are something you have to try this season, and we’re sure it will be a hit!

Many gardeners, both the experienced and the beginner, have watched their flowers, plants, shrubs and trees die soon after transplanting. This is due to “transplant shock,” and it is a common occurrence when the proper transplanting techniques are not followed. Plants experience some degree of trauma when moved, caused by damage to the roots during the transplant. When a plant or flower is transplanted, the most important part of the roots can be destroyed by either being cut, from drying out, or by being jostled around during the move.
