Basics of Vegetable Gardening
Fresh vegetables straight from your garden taste better than store-purchased produce and they retain more nutrients going straight from the vine to your plate. A backyard vegetable garden also benefits your food budget because you won’t need to purchase as much from the supermarket. The garden makes an entertaining and educational family activity from spring through fall.
How to Grow Vegetables Inside the House
Vegetable gardens are typically associated with the summer months, but an indoor container garden allows you to enjoy fresh produce year-round. While the selection of vegetables is more limited, you can enjoy green beans, fingerling carrots, lettuce, herbs, peppers, tomatoes, radishes and dwarf versions of your favorite vegetables. Another option is to start your vegetable plants indoors from seeds and transplant them outdoors when the temperatures warm up. A sunny location within the home makes your vegetable garden grow better.
How to Decorate With Flowers for a Birthday Party
Integrating flowers, real or fake, into birthday party decorations gives the event a splash of color. A simple vase of the guest of honor’s favorite flowers may serve as a table centerpiece, but consider using flowers in a variety of ways to liven up the birthday party decor. You can select a palette or theme and use flowers that incorporate the theme, or just take a walk through your garden to find blossoms, plants, vines, sprouts, twigs and other natural items that brighten the space.
