Garden weeds tend to grow rapidly while producing a large number of seeds and will spread very aggressively. There are different ways to lure the small friends away, but still keeping your garden from harm.
Especially on those gray days in winter it is happy to see the bright cheerful bloom of a flower, reminding that while its gray outside, color and the beauty of the green of nature is close at hand. The older leaves are the ones that help with digestion and are quite edible when they are steamed or stir-fried with any other kind of vegetable. Please follow all of the instructions on the back of the packet for the best results.
The rows tend to waist valuable compost materials, not to mention that stepping on the soil in between rows kills the soil structure. You can also spray repellants for example; mix water with hot pepper onto plants will make them unappetizing to the wildlife that enjoys them. A house, a row of trees, a fence can all affect microclimates.
A good rule for watering is to check the soil and if it is dry then add water. Spend a day with the kids making gardening a family event.
