If you think people are born
with a green thumb, THINK AGAIN!
I used
to have a brown thumb. I tried raising all sorts of plants, and no
matter what type of plant it was they ALWAYS died!
I tried planting rose
bushes, and before the beauties could even bloom the bushes had become
dried sticks without a touch of green.
I tried planting corn,
squash, beans and all sorts of vegetables and my garden didn't even
produce a single kernel. Not even enough food to feed an ant. Believe
me, I am sure that the ants and bees were laughing their
heads off at me as they searched for food elsewhere. They sure weren't
finding anything to eat in MY YARD!
I figured maybe because
I was living in Georgia, where red clay was a problem then I would try
potted plants instead. I tried flowers, and they died. A friend
suggested that I try growing a cactus, so I did, the cactus died. HOW CAN YOU KILL A CACTUS???
Someone else suggested
that I try an Aloe Plant, because these things were indestructible. A
friend gave me an aloe plant and the poor thing was dead within 3
months. Needless to say my friends quit suggesting things for me to
grow. One even told me that if I got a fake plastic plant,
with my luck, it would probably die too!
I so desperately wanted
to see a little lively green plant growing happily in my home. I wanted
fresh vegetables for my table. All I found instead was bad luck, wasted
money, and a lot of ceremonies where I would go outside, and somberly
say goodbye to yet another dead plant.
Then one day I discovered air plants!
I was at a craft show,
and a lady there was selling air plants that were OH SO BEAUTIFUL!
She said NO ONE could
kill these plants. She told me that all they needed was to be hung in
the bathroom, and the steam from the shower would provide all the
nutrients they needed. NO DIRT! NO FERTILIZER! They needed nothing
except a moist environment that is provided in any bathroom.
I was as happy as an ant
on a hill of honey when I got home with my new plants. I purchased 3
beautiful air plants, hung them neatly in my bathrooms and basked in
the joy of FINALLY seeing a thing of beauty growing in my home.
That is until
they died.
All three of them, yes
all three, died. Within a month they were gone, dried up, dead, 3 more
somber ceremonies. So
much for my green thumb.
By this time even I
myself was too scared to get a plastic plant. It would probably dry out
and die on me too then I
would probably have to cut both of my thumbs off!
I gave up on growing
plants for years after that. The air plants were my last attempt, and I
had given up for good. I swore to myself I would NEVER again try to
grow another plant for as long as I live.
Then one day I was
searching the internet for information about knitting. I stumbled
across a gardening forum where ladies were knitting plant pot covers.
One of the ladies had a picture of the most beautiful tree I had ever
seen in my life! A dark red Japanese Maple tree that had a breath
taking beauty that I had never seen before in my life.
I HAD to have
one!!
This tree was so
beautiful, I found myself craving one for my own yard. I wanted one so
badly that I spent months
researching Japanese Maples and how to grow them successfully.
Japanese Maples, I
found, are very expensive. I wanted to learn all I could about them
before I purchased my own, because I wanted to MAKE SURE that my
Japanese Maple would not die!
Yes, silly me decided to
try again, and this time not on a plant that costs just a few dollars.
I was getting brave and preparing myself to try and grow a plant that
costs over $200 dollars for the large ones.
I read forums,
looked up gardening articles, and tried to find as much information as
I could about Japanese Maples online.
Sadly, the information I
located dealt mostly with maintaining them once they were already
established and growing successfully. I needed information on how to
keep one from DYING before it got established in my yard and I could not locate this
information ANYWHERE!
I checked out books in
the local library, and had no luck. I searched for days, hours at a
time, and could not find the information I needed.
I decided to look for
older gardening books, and THAT is when my search was over! I found a
slew of old gardening books written in the 1800's that answered EVERY
question I had about growing trees, fruits, vegetables and flowers that
I could dream of.
The American Gardener is
one of those books, and the main one that helped me in learning
everything I need to know about growing any plant I can dream of under
the sun!
The American Gardner was
written in 1854 by William Cobbett. It is now in the public domain and
has been converted into electronic format for your enjoyment.
The American Gardener provides over 150
pages of helpful gardening how to information, and tips that will help
you grow plants with ease without them dying like they did on me!
Even if you're a
professional gardener, you'll find many tips to help better your
growing success!
Here's What
You'll Find In The American Gardener:
- Choosing the right
location on your property for growing plants. You'll find in depth
information on slope of your land, and what spot is best for growing
successfully.
- Preparing the soil
properly to provide nutrition for healthy plants.
- Fencing techniques for
your garden. I LOVE this section. The author provides humorous
techniques for using hawthorn trees as fencing, to keep troublesome
lads from stealing their fruits and vegetables! You do not need to spend hundreds for a
chain link, wooden or brick fence. Use hawthorn
trees and with a little love and time you'll have a fence that will
make your neighbors green with envy!
- Designing, or laying
out, your garden so that it's pleasing to the eye yet functional as
well.
- You'll learn how to make
hotbeds, so that you can start your vegetables earlier in the season
and have edible produce as many as 15 days earlier
than normal! This can be a moneymaker if you sell produce. Be the first
in your neighborhood to have fresh green tomatoes and watermelons!
- Learn the benefits of
operating a hobby greenhouse, and how it can be beneficially to your
household.
- Learn about true seeds
and the soundness of seed. You'll learn how to test seed before you
plant them, to determine if you have good seed or bad. Some seed will
not grow if it's bad, and by using a simple technique you can
throw out the bad instead of laboring with planting them only
to find no lovely sprouts growing where they were sowed.
- Learn proper methods for
saving and preserving seed. I find this the most fun of gardening! I
now save seed regularly and have a yard full of beautiful blooms from
seeds I have saved and sown.
- Learn proper sowing
methods to improve your seeds germination rate, and to ensure healthy
plants. Proper spacing and depth can mean success or failure in the
garden!
- American Gardener
provides proper transplanting methods, to ensure your plants survival
when moving from one area to another. This
is the chapter that covers the information I was looking for, to ensure
my Japanese Maples survival. I now have two
Japanese Maples growing successfully in my yard, and what beauty they
both bring!
- Cultivating your garden
properly and methods for tilling, trenching and sowing to ensure your
gardens success.
- Learn propagating
methods so that you can grow many more plants form just one stock
plant. Learn propagating from cuttings, by grafting, by using stock
tress, by budding and by layering. All of these are easy and
fun methods that you and your family are sure to enjoy!
- There is a nice section
on growing grapes in minimum space while producing so many grapes that
it'll make your mouth water!
- Learn how to
successfully grow 81 different vegetables and herbs, 26 tasty fruits
and nuts and the most popular flowers and shrubs with the most gorgeous
blooms!
You are sure to love the
information, guidance and tips provided in American Gardener!
I have used this
information for myself, and now have a yard full of beautiful trees,
flowers and plants instead of a mass plant graveyard!
This type of information
has helped me in so many ways. I now have 5 rose bushes growing
successfully in my yard including the coveted Don Juan rose that now
grows below a beautiful catalpa tree.
This past spring I
planted a successful vegetable garden that provided enough
produce to feed 5 families for 2 months and provide many bags
for our freezers! My second fall garden was planted just last week and
is already sprouting many tiny plants for a second harvest. All this
was planted on a piece of plot that measures not more than 20 feet by
40 feet!
I had so many cucumbers
growing that I could not even can them all I had to give them away! My
zucchini's were so huge that they had to be shared with my in laws and
my mother, because we could not eat them as fast as they grew.
My flowerbed has
lavender, dianthus, clematis, daisies and many odd plants growing
beautifully.
My verbena has taken over our drive; it's
outgrown its bed!
I now have 2 Japanese Maples growing
successfully. One a glowing embers the other the coveted bloodgood (the
most beautiful tree on the planet in my opinion).
I have hundreds of
boxwood that I propagated from cuttings, growing successfully beside my
cuttings beds. My Azaleas are rooting successfully now, and they are LIVING!
I have come a long way
from where I could not even keep an air plant alive, the where I am now
growing plants with no roots in just a box of peat moss and sand!
My success is thanks to books like the
American Gardener.
