All About Gardening - Discover Valuable Facts

By: Nathan Knightley

Since I can remember, I always had the drive for gardening. When I lived in a house with my parents during my teenage years, I used to have a garden and flower spot in the backyard that was out of this world. I grew some of the most beautiful daisies and some of the freshest tomatoes that you have ever seen. Then I lived in a small apartment in New-York, I had almost no room at all for my belongings. Have something growing was unthinkable.

Everything changed when I moved to San Francisco. I was very surprised by what I saw when I went to a SF flowergarden show. You see, San Francisco has a unique climate. Almost anything that can grow can grow there. It is bright enough for plants that need a lot of sunlight, yet there is enough precipitation for plants that need a lot of moisture. It is not too hot, and it is not too cold. It stays almost the same temperature all year. In short, it is the ideal temperate climate.

Because of that, San Francisco flowerandgarden shows are known over the world. There grow some of the best and brightest flowers, the freshest fruits and vegetables, and the most impressive gourds that the world have ever seen. Every flower and garden publication profiles them each year, and each year is better than the last. When you go to the flower and garden show in San Francisco, it is almost impossible to not become obsessed with the idea of growing something on your own. The plants are so beautiful, after all that, how could you resist? For my part, I simply couldn't!

Of course, going to a flower festival or reading a flower and garden magazine, is one thing. Starting a garden on your own is another. The flower and garden magazines make it look so easy, but it is not easy! Actually, I forgot how hard it was. I remember the way that my flowers looked when they were in full bloom, but I do not remember the amount of work that went into them. Having a few scattered flowers and tomatoes is one thing, but having a nice groomed garden is another. I had such unrealistic expectation from the flowers and gardens show that disillusionment was to be expected. Nonetheless, after a few years, I did have an impressive flower and Garden display. I now grow plants from all over the globe!
