Home gardening is not a necessity for providing food for families as it was for the pioneers. In fact, it is now considered a hobby. But it is an outdoor activity with nature that should produce delicious food.

Hi everyone
Welcome to this edition of your Gardening Weekly, today's edition is entitled:
Getting Children into Gardening
QUOTE: No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden
- Thomas Jefferson
If you have ever wondered how to keep children occupied for hours on end then it's time to introduce them to the joys gardening.
Children can really enjoy growing plants particularly if they have their own area of the garden where they can see the results of their own efforts growing there.
It will give them a sense of reward to see what they have been able to accomplish, whether it is from a flower garden or a vegetable garden.
It is also a very healthy pastime that will get them out of the house and into the fresh air. It will do more for their health than sitting in front of a computer screen or playing on their PlayStation all day.
They will also be learning about gardening and as this is one of the most popular hobbies it will give them a knowledge base that they will benefit from for years to come.

Gardening can also help to relieve stress and fatigue and there are many more children suffering from that these days.
By getting your children to work alongside you in the garden, it will help to build better family relationships too and that is an investment in them that no amount of money could ever buy.
I have known many children who have used their gardening skills to make a few dollars of their own by selling the plants and vegetables that they have grown in their own garden to others during their school holidays. Not only do they get a sense of accomplishment but they can also get monetary reward for their work.
If you have ever seen the delight on a child's face after they have sold something that they have grown themselves in their own garden then you will know exactly what I mean. It is more exciting for many of them than opening their presents on Christmas Day.

Inspect new growth of mugo and other pines for gray-green colored caterpillar-like pine sawfly larvae. For limited infestations, prune off and destroy shoots or hand pick sawflies dropping them in a bucket of soapy water.
