Gardening and landscaping can be great hobbies to help you and your family get outside more and get some fresh air and relaxation.

Gardening and landscaping is a very broad subject and involves a very large amount of things that you could do outside to relieve the stress. First you could start your own garden full of vegetables and fruit bearing plants. This gives you both fresh food and the relaxation of being outside, with just a little work of course. Fresh fruit and vegetables can also save you money and promote better health. Another possible escape to the outdoors is in landscaping around your home. This can be anything from adding a beautiful flower bed to the front of your home to a water garden to your backyard. This hobby can improve the look and value of your home while getting you outside and into the fresh air and dirt. Going to the beach, hiking, biking, climbing rocks all can be done outside to help you eliminate stress. For many people even fishing, hunting or just sitting in the woods admiring mother nature and the glories is enough to help their stress level be brought back down to 0. 

These are just two of the many things that can be done outside around your house to relieve stress. Being outside is a very good idea for those who spend long hours at work and are often stressed, and has many benefits for both the short and long run. So look into gardening or landscaping around your home to improve both your mental and physical health, and get outside more.  

Plant Your Own Berry Orchard

Berry bushes can be used for a lot of landscaping ideas.  Berry bushes would make great hedges or borders and can serve as privacy fence and to produce wonderful fresh tasting fruits to enjoy.

There are several berry bushes that are available to create beautiful ideas.  Some of them are Gooseberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Blackberry and Currants that come in red, black and white.  Berry bushes will bring lots of beauty to a lawn or garden and can also give wonderful fruits that can be transformed into wonderful jams and jellies.  They can also be used when baking those wonderful homemade pies and cakes and with fresh fruit they will always taste better.

Berry bushes will give lots of fruits if they are taken care of properly.  Old branches need to be removed regularly once fruit is finished growing on them.  Also it is a great idea to prepare the soil in which the bushes will be planted with organic material such as old leaves and mulch.  This will fertilize the bushes naturally and will help them grow to be healthy and produce a lot of fresh fruits.  Berry bushes will need to be fertilized each year with the organic materials.

Berry bushes will also add a beauty to lawns and gardens and they will be fun to just stand and eat the fresh fruits right off the bushes.  Blackberries and Blueberries are great to just eat freshly off the vine.  Another great idea when shopping for berry bushes is to spread them out and find ones that will grow and produce most of the year.  Plant them at different times and this will guarantee that fresh fruit will be available most of the year.

Also gardeners and homeowners will need to get as much information on planting and caring for the berry bushes.  Berry bushes will thrive and grow well when lighting and soil conditions are perfect and will produce a lot more fruit when properly taken care of.  Some berry bushes will also add beautiful colors during the fall months of the year to brighten and bring color to a landscape.

Berry bushes can also provide food for birds.  If for any reason the gardener or homeowner cannot pick the berries the birds will absolutely love them and will feast on them.  Some of the berries bushes will also keep other wildlife off of a lawn or out of a garden but will make beautiful hedges around properties or fences.

Fall Fesitivities

The air is getting crisper and the temperature colder so what does that mean? It means fall is in the air and with fall comes so many festivities and things to do. Fall brings harvest fairs, yard sales, bazaars, carnivals, hayrides, candy apples, fairs, pumpkin carving and many other fall festivities. Fall means scarecrows, Halloween, pumpkins, roasting marshmallows, hunting and hot chocolate. Fall is a great time of the year! Fall also means cooler weather and time to get our plants in the ground for next year. Bushes, shrubs, trees, fruit plants, berry bushes it all can go in the ground in the fall!

There is just something about fall and spring that triggers an instinct in people and makes them want to start working outside. No one really enjoys working outside in the hot heat but many people love working out in the cool pulling weeds, landscaping, mowing, pruning shrubs and planting new plants. Why is cooler weather better on planting plants? When the ground temperature is cooler and more stable the roots of your plant can adapt and get well established versus when the ground is hot and dry. The cooler weather will keep the moisture in and the ground moist which will allow for the roots to get established and take a hold better.

Fruit trees, berry bushes and trees need to be planted in the spring or fall months when the air is cooler, but not below freezing and the ground is moist, with cooler ground temperatures. During the fall and spring months the roots can take a good hold and grasp better allowing them to grow to a fuller maturity. Once your plants get a good establishment you will have full, mature plants in no time. So just because the temperature starts getting colder and fall approaches it doesn’t mean that its time to curl up inside and do nothing, get outdoors and enjoy the weather! Enjoy the pumpkins, fairs, scarecrows and landscaping! 

Fall Means Fair Time

When it comes to the fall, what does that mean to a lot of people? It’s time for the fair. The fair to many people is the one thing that they look forward to going to for months. It means quality time with their family, loved ones, friends or significant other, but to many others it means all the exhibits. There is just something about the fair that makes a lot of us excited like a little kid. The smells, the feel in the air, the lights, the fireworks, the sounds makes one excited that it is fall and fair time.

Most fairs have a lot of exhibits that people don’t know about because they don’t take the time to wonder around in the exhibit halls. For example, most fairs have several exhibit halls, one is filled with lots of handmade crafts, photography, cakes, baked goods and other items that people take the time to make. Another exhibit hall may be filled with vegetables that were grown locally that are record setters like pumpkins, watermelons, squash, potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables native to that area. Then there is the exhibit hall or farm building where they hold the cows, sheep, goats and petting zoo so that people can observe them and watch as they are being shown off, milked or sheared. 

The most favorite exhibit hall is the floral exhibit hall. The floral exhibit hall is home to all the gorgeous fresh grown flowers that have been cut, preserved or turned into floral arrangements. There you can find perennials, vines and annuals of all kinds to see, smell and look at. You will see specimens of roses, hummingbird vines, English ivy, day lilies, black eyed susan’s, daffodils and many other flowers all in one place. It is a gardener’s dream!

So next time you go to the fair, don’t focus on the food, crowds and rides – go see the exhibits, you may be surprised by what you see or find!
