Plant Disease – “garden Creep”
One thing you either might have to watch out for or embrace is something I call Garden Creep.
This is the capability of certain gardens, let alone the plants in them, of slowly growing and spreading or even multiplying over time.
Any dedicated gardener can explain to you the visible symtomology of the disease. New garden growths appear nearly randomly at times as new outbreaks of gardens pop up in sometimes rather unexpected corners and sections of the area.
This problem is also seen in certain plants as well. When they have managed to obtain a foot hold in an area, where the acquirable space for them, is inadequate for their realistic size. You will find these plants spilling outwards or upwards into space they were never intended to occupy. This causes constant problems for entryways & walkways, as well as air space occupiers like power lines. These planbts then have to constantly attacked and kept back within their territory, often at great cost in time and money to their garden owner.
Lawn areas and sometimes even pathways in it’s way are encompassed and/or swallowed up. It even can escape from your area onto and around footpaths and along road verges.
It appears I reckon to be a possibly viral disease that affects both the gardens and their gardeners alike.
It means that these garden areas extend over a period into each tiny space they can infect and take over, sometimes far outside the originally intended boundaries of the initial garden/s.

Plant Presents From your Own Garden
If you are looking for ways for you or your kids to wage cheap presents for the extended family, or just like to give gifts that have a individualized element to them, then here is a recommendation or two for you.
If you are looking to make a present for the gardener in the family or someone who has recently moved into their own home, someone in a flat or unit, or a mortal who can’t manage a full sized yard, or a family member who adores to cook with fresh ingredients, etc. Then why not think about giving them something from your own garden? Here I am speaking about plants that you have divided off from your own garden plants.
There are many plants growing in the average garden that can be divided, or that have naturally self layered themselves. Where you could go along and take a rooted section, pot them up and with a bit of dressing up of the planting container, you could produce a really nice gift for someone you care about.

How to Plant a Cutting Garden
Grow a slicing garden and enjoy flowers indoors and out
If you feel guilty when you cut flowers in your garden, worrying that you’re destroying nature or leaving gaps in your flowerbeds, it might be time for you to plant a slicing garden, states the American Association of Nurserymen (AAN). A slicing garden is designed to wage flowers for indoor arrangements, and it will give you a new appearance on removing flowers from your garden.
Choosing the Right Flowers and Plants
As with any garden, the first step in planning your slicing garden is to select plants that grow well in your part of the country. Ask the experts at your local garden center for their suggestions, and keep in mind your soil conditions, the amount of sun or shade your garden receives and how much it rains.
Selecting a Color Scheme
After you’ve decided which plants will thrive at your site, select a color scheme, whether bright and vivid primary colors, soft and muted pastel shades or dusty connector tones. Since the purpose of a slicing garden is to grow flowers to use indoors, think about how flowers of certain colors will look when you place them in main rooms of your house.
Finally, plant flowers and plants in such a way that no one will notice that you frequently forage for new material for your indoor bouquets. One way to achieve a continuously balanced look in your slicing garden is to group your plantings by color, so that when you clip several blue flowers one day and several yellow flowers another, the overall appearance of the garden is still one of continuity and growth.
You can also fill in around your flowers with shrubs and larger, bushy plants that can easily spare a few leaves or berries, as well as plant a mix of perennials, annuals and bulbs so your garden will bloom all year ’round.
I am a gardener who enjoys growing vegetables, herbs and flowers. I believe in using organic methods and products when gardening.
