Gardening for health and for frugality
Having your own vegetable patch is a real privilege. If you don't have one, it's well worth considering whether you could make one, have an allotment or just do some 'window box' food growing. Of course, for a vegetarian, it's an extremely natural and pretty necessary activity. You can select the foods you want to grow. You can treat them how you choose, as they grow (I recommend a fully organic and synthetic-chemical-free method). The act of gardening is mentally, psychologically and spiri...

Garden Wildlife Habitats
Welcome Nature Into Your Garden Wildlife Habitat
Suburban sprawl, development of farmland and wilderness, and manufacturing plants disrupt and sometimes destroy natural wildlife habitats. Development of residential communities in what were once farm fields or forest lands displaces animals and plants; wildlife struggles to survive in areas adjacent to where animals and plants once lived naturally. You can help preserve wildlife by creating a garden wildlife habitat in your yard. Photo note: A mama mallard and her drake visit our garden ever...

How Does Your Garden Grow
My Garden in the Highlands of Scotland
The Winters here can get to a seriously low temperature and, unless you have a walled garden, an array of plants is ruled out. Of course, I know of an old walled garden not a mile from here which has (well, it was there about six years ago) a massive and very old peach tree in a south facing greenhouse and certainly when I was familiar with the place it was always an excellent bearer of fruit. It is unusual in our part of Scotland to find exotic species. On the West Coast, where the gulf s...
