  Gardening is a centuries-old pastime loved by many people. Some people garden simply because they enjoy it, whereas others garden as a means to feed their family. This article will introduce ways you can make the most of your gardening activities.
  
  Gardening can be a relaxing hobby. There are a wide variety of things you can do to release stress and relax. One of the best ways to do this is gardening. It does however require a small investment of money but has tremendous returns. The joy of eating food you created as well as enjoying the beauty of your garden is the best return of all.
  
  You need water for a healthy garden. Water is the main element of life for all life forms. During the hot days of summer, water your plants often to ensure that your plants do not dry out. Making sure you plants have enough water will ensure they grow well.
  
  Use only pesticides designed to kill the specific type of pest in your garden, and avoid the broad-spectrum kind. These pesticides can also kill useful insects that eat your pests. Beneficial bugs usually have more sensitivity towards pesticides than bad ones. Therefore, if the number of beneficial bugs drops, the problem with pests can get bigger. This ends up becoming a vicious cycle of increasing pesticide use.
  
  Select plants that produce a relatively high yield. A hybrid designed for your weather, and resistant to local diseases, will give a better yield than non-hybrids.
  
  Tender deciduous shrubs are very fragile, so protect them. Shrubs that are planted in containers are especially susceptible to frost and must be carefully protected. Tie the tops tightly together, and cover the wigwam with a sheet or blanket draped loosely over it. This method is preferred to wrapping a plant in plastic, since it promotes circulation and prevents rotting.
  
  Some houseplants may require re-potting, and others resent having their roots disturbed. To see if a plant should be re-potted, turn it upside down, tap the bottom of the container and see if it falls out. The plant is going to need a brand new pot if all that you can see are roots. Little to no roots means the pot is perfect for the time being.
  
  Not as difficult as you thought, right? Like any other subject, the world of gardening is vast and has a wealth of information available on it. All you need is an indication of where to begin. So, hopefully, with the tips you learned you now have that ability.
