Organic Gardening: A Step-by-Step Guide
Organic gardening is more than just avoiding chemicals; it is organic living in accordance with nature's laws. I recently came across this quote by an unknown author and discovered that my parents and others like them were organic gardeners long before these principles were revived.

Preparing my Vegetable Gardens
The big sky is barely light, the morning young. My sidekick, Harvey Bean is eager to get outside to do his business, chase gophers and deer and try to fly after the pheasant, geese and assorted birds picking at morning breakfast bugs. Harvey Bean is a 75 lb. labradoodle, just a year and a half and doesn’t quite understand that he can’t fly like the birdies that distance themselves from him. He turns to look at me with dismay each time they fly away.

Garden Chess. Top Story - June 2021.
I once heard it said that happiness, or the lack thereof, is a state of contentment influenced by outside stimuli. Conversely, I have also heard it said that joy is a state of inner contentment or delight that resists outside influences. For example, I found that when I was outside working in my garden, I experienced happiness. When I discovered that the backyard groundhog (nicknamed “ground cow”) breached my fence and ravished my snap peas, I was unhappy. Obviously, this beast was not related to the well-behaved Punxsutawney Phil on the television. Truthfully, I was angry when my plants were invaded – but my joy for gardening remained. That inner joy was a sign of the creative life inside me. I have learned to enjoy that creative aspect manifested as the intersection of a woman and her dirt.

Garden as Community
A cup of coffee for myself, and pots and pots of coffee for the greenhouse. My attempt at a therapeutic relationship with nature has often escalated into an emotional calamity. As a gardener, and regenerative agriculture enthusiast, nature has never ceased to throw curve balls and pose new challenges that invite creativity.

Always wanted a lawn, but didn't know where to start? BalajiNursery offers a Few Tips
A large portion of us fantasizes about having our own little fix of green toward the front or the rear of our homes. The trouble of making this fantasy a reality lies in seeing how to lay the grass, and care for your yard consistently. First, get the dirt treated well and prepared for the grass. This is tedious however definitely worth the exertion over the long haul. Yards are not occasional, so they require more exertion than your typical plants. Having said that, a lavish yard isn't unattainable - the key fixing is bunches of persistence, particularly as you start to lay your grass. I would even say readiness of the dirt is the main piece of laying any yard, and in the event that one does this well, taking care of your grass in the long haul turns out to be a lot simpler.

How to Make Healthy, Free Garden Soil
Before I started making my own soil by composting, I would spend up to $8 per bag for potting soil. Once we moved to a 3 ½ acre homestead, I knew there must be a cheaper way. After all, our thrifty forefathers didn’t have a Bunnings or Home Depot just down the road. They also didn’t have regular curbside rubbish pick-ups. Frankly, they didn’t even have plastic bags to haul the black gold home from the local hardware store.

The Serenity In Gardening
Gardening is my new found passion, it’s something I never thought I was good at, but I needed an outlet for when I was feeling stressed or overwhelmed. I always admired how my grandma or my mom had a good hand for gardening, and seeing how their plants would flourish. My immediate passions always were painting, writing, or baking... those are the three things I was good at above everyone else in my family, it was something that I could get lost in doing and do it all the time. Baking was a hobby as well as a thriving idea for a business for me, I was able to start a at-home business, it went well, but life came along and a lot of things changed. I experienced loss in my family, my work life became quite complex, I needed something that would make me go outside and enjoy the beauty of the world. I took on gardening, I started by buying a starter kit box of lavender and sunflower seeds to see if I was any good at it, long behold, I actually had a niche for it; who knew?! So, I started making trips to Home Depot, buying small variety of plants, and I started created other things that were opening up the possibilities for more. I discovered that I had a talent for caring and taking care of something that also required a lot of love and attention. Not like I’ve never had pets that I needed to take care of, or family, but this was something for which brought joy to my heart as well as joy to others. I’m not an expert by any means in this field, I am still learning as I go, but I would’ve never imagined myself doing this and being good at it. I started getting my friends into it, I had a coworker like seeing my succulent sitting on my desk, so I took her one, and it just picked up from there.
