Garden and Outdoor Living
The joy of gardening isn't only to be found in the huge array of plants that
you can propagate, pamper and prune but in the many different levels at
which you can do it. Whether you fill indoor pots with beautiful, leafy
house plants or plant your entire outdoor landscape in a field of
colourful blooms, working with plants is fun and contributes to a sense
of well-being. Plus, the planting process involves a little muscle,
helping you to keep your body in good condition.
The biggest trend in gardening worldwide
is the comeback of the edible garden. Vegetables, herbs and
fruits are springing up in back yards everywhere as the fashionable
thing to do.
One of the best things about a garden is
that it is never static. It is always changing and evolving with an
enormous range of plants now available and new plants (hybrids and
cultivars) coming onto the market all the time for us to grow.
Regardless of the size, shape or location
of your garden, from rooftop to country estate, if you follow your
instincts and trust your own sense of style you can create an
attractive, functional and above all enjoyable garden that is uniquely
your own for your family and friends to enjoy.

Growing Kitchen Herbs in Containers -
There is
nothing quite like the use of fresh herbs to add subtle flavour when
cooking and a collection of herbs in containers outside the back door,
or on the kitchen windowsill, is
not only useful but can be decorative as well. For the cook who doesn't have a garden,
herbs can be successfully grown in window boxes, troughs, shallow tubs,
hanging baskets, bowls or pots. All they ask is a well drained potting
mix, a little food, water, sunshine for 4-6 hours or more a day and protection from the wind.
