i have learned over the course of having plants that less water is better. I have in the past over watered many many plants and they have not survived. It has taken a few years to learn this but i have now successfully kept a few plants alive and it is exciting to see them grow.

Important to plan out watering schedule to the season. Some indoor plants can be very fussy if you skip a few days and not recover.

I have always wanted a vertical garden but i am not sure where to start. I find my plants do so well until the hot hot summer comes along and then they just die off.

I leave the gardening to my partner

Nice timely article with some nice products. Gardens and plants are great to have and grow.

I love home gardens!

I’d love to have the space for tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs.
The Maze 3 Vertical Garden looks like a good option for herbs and cucumbers on the bottom to hang over and grown down

Anything! I love plants, I just seem to kill them. I’m currently keeping alive a number of indoor plants, and also a number of succulents outside that have been gifted to me. So fingers crossed.

We have a fantastic little greenhouse outside our back door and grow many crops to augment what little we receive cash wise. It’s not only a money saver, but you know there are no chemicals or pesticides in your food and that’s wonderful when you have low immune people to feed.

I have lovely spinach and lettuces growing well at the moment

My son has taken over my late husband’s vege garden but he’s disappointed because he doesn’t seem to get the same results. He’s doing amazing in the flower and succulent section though. He’s got plants to flower that I couldn’t in the years that I had them planted. Looks like he has a green thumb just in the wrong gardening department.

Don’t you LOVE that homemade pot in the picture ?! Looks like it’s sewed from a nice material; a lovely idea !

Currently i have red radish in my garden.I like chillies tomato and herbs the most in my garden.

Been trying to grow a garden, and veg garden for the past 6 years with very little success! Only a handful of plants have survived, despite careful selection. But no matter how well we build up the soil, it just turns back to grey sand within months.

we grow some veggie and herbs and it is so rewarding when we cook them. so fresh and delicious.

Our garden has been a welcome sanctuary at this time and gardening an excellent form exercise and mindfulness.

  I agree in todays time gardening has been a way of distressing and relaxation. The rewards are amazing especially when you get to harvest your first crop.

    I agree – our garden is a sanctuary and home grown produce tastes so good and develops incredible life skills. There is an incredible satisfaction from growing food. Outside and garden time is so good for being centred too.

I would love to have more plants in our house but between me not being much of a green thumb, kids that would probably knock them down and a cat I don’t like my chances of it.

I want to be able to grow chinese vegetables. It would save me from going to the shops for them.

I can’t even keep plastic plants alive…lol

I can’t wait to design my garden so that we can plant veggies and more herbs – this article is a timely reminder of the considerations we need to make.
