The art of spring isn't just for flowers; it's also for people. Spring can bring people together. And a new painting captures that spirit perfectly.

Just visit her website for more information.

FAQ
How often should I water my indoor plants?
Indoor plants require watering at least once a day. The humidity inside your house can be maintained by watering. For healthy plants, humidity is vital.
How can I find out what type of soil my house has?
The dirt's color can tell you what it is. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Soil testing is another option. These tests can measure the soil's nutrients.
How can you prepare the soil to grow vegetables in your garden?
Preparing soil for a vegetable garden is easy. The first step is to remove any weeds that may be in the area where your vegetable garden will be planted. After that, add organic material such as composted soil, leaves, grass clips, straw or wood chips. Then water the plants well and wait for them to sprout.
What is a planting plan?
A planting calendar lists the plants that should all be planted at various times during the year. The goal is to maximise growth while minimizing stress. The last frost date should be used to sow early spring crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and beans. Squash, cucumbers, and summer beans are some of the later spring crops. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.
Can I grow vegetables in my backyard?
If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. The answer to that question is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It's all about planning. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. You can also use containers as raised beds. You'll still get lots of produce.
Which kind of lighting is most effective for growing indoor plants?
Because they emit less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, Florescent lights are ideal for indoor plant growth. They are also consistent in lighting, and do not flicker or dimm. There are two types of fluorescent bulbs: regular and compact fluorescent (CFL). CFLs use up to 75% less energy than traditional bulbs.
How much light does a tree need?
It depends on the plant. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Others prefer 8 hours of indirect sunlight. Vegetables require at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.
