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 that 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 needed 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 seeds. You'll learn how to test seeds before you plant them, to
determine if you have a good seed or bad. Some seeds will not grow if they are 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 seed's 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 plant's survival when moving from one area
to another. This is the chapter that covers the
information I was looking for, to ensure my Japanese Maple's 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 from 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 zucchinis 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, to 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.
