Gardening tips for 15 year old?
I want to become a part time gardener for people down my road just to earn a bit of money. I cut my back and front garden lawn every week and my lawn is 25 meters sq. I know how to pull out weeds nd all that but I need to know more. Anyone got any tips?
You are gonna love gardening, don’t try to do it all in one year. Get to know where the sun shines the most, and where the shaded areas are. Because you will need flowers for the sun areas, and flowers for the shaded areas.
Since you are a beginner, this year start your garden with plants that you get from a garden center or nursery. They are called bedding plants and come in a six pack. Look for a little tag sticking in the six pact showing directions on how to grow the plants. If the tag is not there, ask for one or buy something else. Directions are VERY important.
Seeds are not always easy to grow. And wildflowers are the hardest so don’t be disappointed if they don’t show up.
Two good things to do for yourself is to call your local County Extension Service and ask for all the information that they have about gardening in your area. They usually have a packet/kit of things for the home gardener.
And number two would be to pick up a couple of beginner books. You really do need to know about soil, compost, mulch and etc.
To keep from over watering or not watering enough, buy a water analyzer from a nursery or garden center. Be sure to read the directions. This will be one of your best tools.
Send for some free gardening catalogs and get use to the different types of plants, colors, and when to plant. They are filled with good informtion and pictures. And they will keep you company during the long winter months. Here is a list of just a very few. There are hundreds more:

Container/pots/window boxes needs:
All need holes in the bottem for water drainage,
Potting soil that comes in bags,
Slow release fertilizer for flowers (not for green plants), OR liquid fertilizer that will need to be used more often-read directions,
Water crystals to be mixed into the soil for holding water,
Bedding plants or full grown plants.
Here is an excellent link to check out for color combinations and plants that look good together:

what are some good gardening tips?
I promised my Nanna I would look after the garden while she’s gone, and now she’s coming back and our garden’s a mess. I need tips on where to start? & what to do?
Good day. If there is a lawn, first pull out the weeds. Then mow the lawn. We would not want to scatter weed seeds when we mow the lawn. Then work on the bushes. Trim if necessary. Of course fertilize. Since Nanna will be coming in soon, I suggest if you can spray the lawn with foliar fertilizer so the effect is immediate and you don’t have the risk of burning the grass. You may fertilize the shrubs and hedges with commercial fertilizer mixed into the soil as you till or if this is too much, you may just spray the plants with foliar fertilizer. Fertilize in the morning. Water in the morning and afternoon nod mid- day
Gardening Tips for Peas and Watermelon in Canada?
I live in Saskatchewan Canada, and this is my first garden.
I saw one flower on one of my pea plants yesterday, and I am wondering how long they will take to produce now that they have started flowering?
Also I have about 13 watermelon plants that have been doing ok, but a few of them are right next to others, how much space do I need inbetween plants?
Thanks for any help!!
From flower to pea pod takes a week or so.
Watermelon plants, like pumpkins, tend to sprawl. Ideally, you’d have a square metre, at least, per plant. Maybe you should take out some of your seedlings, so the other plants have room to grow. If you’re ruthless about pruning, clipping off the growing tip of the plants, so you have only a few flowers, you’ll get larger melons. If you don’t prune, you’ll get more smaller melons.
How I miss Big Sky Country!!
How do I find gardening instructions?
I recently learned how to turn on a computer and I need advise of where the best gardening tips are for my yard gardening.
I am trying to grow tomatoes, squash, peppers, melons, onions, etc.
These sites might help -

You could also try google, and either search starting a vegetable garden or how to grow…(an individual plant like tomatoes or peppers, etc.)
Does anyone have any gardening tips?
I have a small garden in my back yard, I live in MI, and we probably want to do sunflowers and cosmos and we are trying to find a vegetable that will grow well. We have tried carrots and corn and they don't seem to grow well and we don't want to do cucumbers. Also any other general tips for gardening?? Thanks!!
We tried lettuce too and that didn't turn out to well either!!
Run, don't walk, to your nearest library. There are loads of good books for beginning gardeners. I am from England now living in southern Ontario, Canada so I am not familiar with your climate and, therefore, unwilling to get into specifics about particular flowers and plants.
The one thing I would stress is that you MUST have good soil -can't do a lot without it unless you are growing wildflowers. Once again a good book will help you with this.
Good luck. Hope you begin to enjoy gardening as much as so many of us do.

Gardening vegetarians and vegans: what sort of fertilizer do you use?
I'm new to gardening and I'm using liquid seaweed for my tomatoes.
People at the gardening centers have been telling me I won't get awesome tomatoes without using blood meal/bone meal.
Have you used seaweed? What do you use?
I would really love to be composting, but I live in a one-room apartment that's smaller than my childhood bedroom. I'm trying to garden on my huge, south-facing windowsill. We'll see how it goes.
I'm Vegan. I grow cabbages, peas, carrots, corn, tomatoes and butternut squash and I use NO fertillizer what so ever.
How can I protect myself and daughter while gardening in the yard?
Besides insect repellent lotions or sprays. Is there anything further I should use to minimize insect bites? Mosquitoes are ramped in my area. And now that the weather is getting warmer, I'd like to some pruning and gardening. Is there anything additional I should do to protect myself and dear daughter?
Even if it's a little warm, you would be more protected by wearing long-sleeve shirts and jeans instead of shorts. Also, to protect yourselves from the sun, wear gardening hats to shade your face and head. If you're gardening, it's always a good idea to wear gardening gloves. You might also want to not garden during the hottest part of the day, when mosquitoes are more lkely to bite.
