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.
