There are so many benefits to organic gardening, from healthier produce to healthier soil! Organic gardening works with the processes your plants use to naturally absorb water and nutrients. They get what they need from the ground, to grow what you need from your garden! 🌱Microbes improve nutrient uptake and water absorption by plants, as well as protect them from pests and pathogens. 💧Healthier soil is created with increased organic matter to boost water-holding capacity, increase soil aeration, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. 🌻Plants with ready access to nutrients (thanks to soil microbes) can produce more phytonutrients to improve color and taste. 🍅When your plants get better nutrients from the soil, their product contains better nutrients for you! #gardenlove #organicgardening #gardentips #instagarden #instagardeners #inmygarden #backyardgarden #ladybug #backyardfarm #growfoodnotlawns #growfood #growyourown #pollinatorgarden #beneficialinsects #gardeninglife #homestead #homesteadlife

Food gardening is all the rage right now! Here are some quick tips to get you started: 1. Start Small: Don't overwhelm yourself. Begin with a few easy-to-grow veggies like tomatoes or lettuce. 2. Choose the Right Spot: Ensure your plants get at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. 3. Invest in Good Soil. Healthy soil makes healthy plants. Use organic compost to enrich it. 4. Water Wisely. Overwatering can be just as harmful as underwatering. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. 5. Rotate Your Crops. This helps prevent soil depletion and reduces the risk of pests. Happy Gardening! #HomeGrown #SustainableLiving #GardenToTable #foodgardening

Hey y'all, ready to dig in the dirt and get those green thumbs working? 🌿 Today, I'm sharing some master gardening tips to help your garden thrive! #MasterGardening #GreenThumb #GardenTips 1. **Soil Health is Key**: Take care of your soil like it's your garden's best friend. Keep it nourished with compost, mulch, and organic matter to provide essential nutrients to your plants. 2. **Right Plant, Right Place**: Be mindful of where you plant your veggies and flowers. Make sure they're getting the sunlight, water, and space they need to grow happily. 3. **Water Wisely**: Don't drown 'em, but don't leave 'em thirsty either. Use a drip irrigation system or water early in the day to allow plants to absorb moisture before the heat kicks in. 4. **Companion Planting**: Some plants just vibe better together! Planting companions like basil with tomatoes can help repel pests and boost each other's growth. 5. **Keep Learning**: Gardening is a journey, not a destination. Stay curious, try new things, and learn from both successes and failures. Your garden will thank you for it! Let's get our hands dirty and watch those gardens blossom! 🌼 Remember, a little love and care go a long way in the garden. Happy gardening, friends! 🌱 #NatureIsCalling #GrowYourOwn #GardeningTips

Spring is a great time to get your gardens ready for showing their beauty. Here are a few more gardening tips to consider: Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch around your plants helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and moderates soil temperature. Organic mulches like shredded leaves, straw, or wood chips also add nutrients to the soil as they decompose. Companion Planting: Some plants benefit from being grown together due to complementary characteristics. For example, planting marigolds among your vegetable crops can help repel pests, while certain herbs like basil can improve the flavor and health of neighboring plants. Watering Wisely: Water your plants deeply and less frequently rather than shallowly and often. This encourages deeper root growth and makes your plants more resilient to drought conditions. Water in the morning to minimize evaporation loss and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the health and shape of your plants. Remove dead or diseased branches, as well as any crossing or overcrowded stems. Pruning also stimulates new growth and can increase flower or fruit production. Attract Beneficial Insects: Plant flowers such as lavender, coneflowers, or dill to attract beneficial insects like pollinators and natural predators of garden pests. Remember, gardening is both an art and a science, so don't be afraid to experiment and learn from your experiences! #springmarket #gardenshowing #letmemoveyou #realestate #williampittsothebys #exteriorbeauty #marketing #WPSIR https://lnkd.in/e6iiRQgf

Did you know that a yard isn’t necessary to be a gardener? You can grow and harvest quite a lot of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, just using containers! Crops that do especially well in small spaces include peppers, tomatoes, and herbs. Here’s three tips to setting up a container garden: 1. Location: Choose a location with plenty of sun, with close access to plenty of water. In the high heat of the summer, container gardens will need to be watered at least once a day, if not twice. 2. Containers: Above everything, make sure your containers have good drainage! If possible, drill holes in your containers and avoid using rocks. A good drainage system is the key to protecting your plants’ roots from rot. 3. Distance: Keep in mind how your crops need to be spaced apart. Overcrowding will lead to low yields. If you’re not sure which crops to start with, we’ve got you covered. Try out our Container and Small Space seed collection which includes carrots, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, Swiss chard, and nasturtiums. We also offer many smaller varieties of common crops, and helpful books on small space gardening. https://lnkd.in/gqEdvfHd. PS: Right now, get $5 off eligible orders of $25 or more!

If y’all know me, I gotta grow something even if it’s in the city. I live in Columbia Heights, which is mostly concrete so planting an urban garden was tricky—I live in a basement apartment and rats are everywhere. With intense research and a number safeguards I’m growing a number of herbs, fruits and vegetables: Strawberries, Okra, beans, jalepeños, sweet peppers , two different types of basil, squash, sunflowers, squash, thyme, oregano, cilantro, lettuce, chives, two types of parsley, I’ll have tomatoes soon along with a few plants that are unnamed. I welcome the surprise! I have both a soil/mulch potted garden and two hydroponic rigs inside (where I grow my leafies and most of my herbs). It’s an interesting study seeing how differently they grow. My herbs and leafies flourish on the inside, fruits and veggies outside. My goal is to grow and make all of my own foods again so I can share with my neighbors and friends. Urban gardening is tricky, but I love it! 🍆🥗🥦🥒🥕🍅 #UrbanGardening #CityFarming #GrowYourOwn #Hydroponics #UrbanFarming #SustainableLiving #EdibleGarden #CommunityGardening #DCGardens #Homegrown #UrbanAgriculture #GreenThumb #ConcreteJungleGardener #ColumbiaHeightsGardener #DIYGarden #FreshProduce #HerbGarden #FoodSustainability #UrbanFarmers #LocalFood
