Choosing The Right Type of Garden

 

Starting your own garden seems to be a bit hard and would take up a lot of your time and effort as well. But, as long as you have carefully plan and prepare the task you would realize that it's not so complicated at all. You must remember to fully equipped yourself with knowledge about gardening before you tear into the soil, also try to read as much to learn all about starting a garden. You could either choose to have a vegetable garden or a garden full of flowers or both of them at the same time. Most gardeners at our present time would focus more on vegetable gardening because it saves money, saves the planet and satisfies our epicurean appetites. Edible gardening is an opportunity to grow interesting flavors fresher than money can buy.

Flowers and other decorative plants on the other hand have different sunlight needs, depending on their type. You must study what sort of light your yard gets during the day, particularly noting the sunny and shady areas. If the flowers needs full sun, you could plant them in your yard, but if the flowers requires little sun or no direct sunlight you could plant them on containers or round planters so that it would be easier to move or relocate them to places where there is no direct sunlight and same goes with the vegetables. Laurelwood round planter is a kind of planter which has a wide-mouth design that could give plants plenty of room to grow especially the flowers, and it also has a clean and simple style which gives you plenty of flexibility.

The best gardens always comes from careful planning, but whether you plan to plant a large garden or just a few containers of vegetables or flowers on the patio, you must always remember that gardening is more than just planting seed.

Container Gardens Overhead

 

Most of the time, our garden would look over crowded if not properly arranged by some designers or landscapers. That is because pots and planters are everywhere as well as the garden beds where we usually just place them in a parallel line. Having your own garden is not just an easy task or thing to do. The owner must really make an effort to make sure that the space you have are maximized but also making sure that the space are use efficiently. Plant containers and raised bed gardening could be a great alternative to the row garden that we normally have. Another thing are hanging baskets, they are consider to be container gardens that are suspended overhead.

Planting on hanging baskets does not have any difference than planting on containers that are on the ground. They are great for giving the illusion of bringing down the height of very tall spaces and making great visual impact. The same also goes with business or commercial spaces, hanging baskets can add elegance and style to the outside of your building. Apart form being aesthetically pleasing, a hanging basket also has several advantages over the traditional ground level plantations. Considering the portability of a hanging basket, you can easily move it form one location to another if your decide to change the way your garden or exterior looks and weeds are not much of an issue at all.

Hanging baskets can be very heavy sometimes depending on the material used on them. So, whatever you are hanging them from, you must be sure that the structure can support them very well. Also do not forget to consider the amount of sun, shade, and rain water they are likely to get if you place them outside, especially with the kind of plant that you will be using on your hanging basket. The plants and flowers within your hanging basket will dictate their optimum position in your garden or exterior.

Reunited With Old Friends

A friend is someone that we consider precious and will always be part of our lives, some may be false but there's always gonna be that one or group of people who will stay and stick with you through thick or thin. Reunions are always the best especially if you will meet up with genuine people whom you haven't seen for a long time. Last April 5,2014, we celebrated our high school reunion and I get to see my classmates and some batch mates too. Although just a few people attended because others are out of the country and some have their own personal reasons, the celebration of seeing each other after 10 years was really good. We are all grown up now and we think more maturely compared to our high school days but we had a good laugh about our pasts.

The program started exactly around 6 in the afternoon because before that a mass was held, led by one of my classmates who is now practicing to be a priest. The main purpose of the reunion is for our batch to be able to form an organization that aims to extend educational support to the students applying as a regular class student in our Alma matter. All have agreed to the objectives of the project and the program just flowed out smoothly. After the program, we all went to the nearest KTV bar to just enjoy and reminisce the past. The place was nice and very cozy, the KTV room could cater around 15 people, we laugh and sing till we no longer hear our voices because of too much noise, good thing is that the room is soundproof. They have a big TV screen and the sofa was very comfortable, the food and drinks are great too. Indoor plants in a round commercial fiberglass planter can also be seen at the corners of the room.

We went home with a big smile on our faces and we enjoyed every bit of our time spent with one another. Sad to say that we do not know when our next reunion would be, it might be after ten years or more, but hopefully it would be as happier as it is the first time.
