Over the last few years, home gardening has become an increasingly popular pastime and hobby.  In fact, studies show that home gardening, is at an all time high in America right now.  In the United States, 8 out of 10 households, take part in some type of home gardening activity.  Obviously, from the number of people that are doing it, home gardening is one of the most popular recreational activities, in the nation.

Most people that try their hand at home gardening, plant flowers. Well, at least they start out planting flowers, anyway.  Roses will probably be the first thought, in any gardener’s mind, but roses will take extra time and work and should probably be left to those, who have gardened before.  When planting flowers, many choices are available, such as bulbs, perennials and annuals. 

Edible plants are another big thing, in home gardening.  Perhaps the best thing about edibles, is the reward of eating them.  The list of edible plants that gardeners can grow at home, is endless. Some of the most common edible plants, in the vegetable arena, are potatoes, peas, corn, carrots, squash and cucumber.  Many gardeners opt for fruit, such as watermelons, tomatoes, peaches, plums, apples, pears, and apricots.  Small fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries usually require less work and less space, making them much more feasible, for home gardening.  Herbs, most often used as spices in cooking, are growing in popularity every day. Some of the most grown varieties, include basil, thyme, oregano, parsley and cilantro.  One of the most important things to watch for, when planting edibles, is insects and disease. After all, you don’t want to miss out on the feast you will get to enjoy, from healthy plants.

Many people don’t realize it, but landscaping is a form of home gardening.  Landscaping covers many different areas and forms of gardening.  You can even classify mowing your lawn, as landscaping!  As far as grasses go, landscaping nearly always involves decorative grasses and the great thing about them, is they don’t take much work, or upkeep.  Types of grass, include monkey grass, pampas, buffalo grass, flame grass and ornamental millet.  Landscaping is not just limited to plant life, but also includes anything done to a yard, for decoration, such as adding rocks, or stones, putting in a small pond, statutes, or even a waterfall.

There isn’t much difference between home gardening and gardening anywhere else.  Plants still need to be planted in a good location.  The plants still need water and they still need the same nutrients.  Home gardening shouldn’t cause anyone to get nervous.  If you do decide to try homing gardening and find out that you don’t have a green thumb, don’t get discouraged.  Get some more information, read up on gardening and try it again, the next planting season.
