To produce spectacular floral displays and provide high nutritional produce for the table are a few of the great accomplishments gardeners have . Pottering around in our gardens (note: not working in our gardens) because pottering is a pleasure, we are breathing fresh air, exercising, gaining stress relief along with a healthy dose of Vitamin D when we do not use sunscreen and are careful about exposure times. Us older people remember how we learnt to start the season off with small exposure times and build up as we tanned up. Using Virgin Coconut Oil before gardening then after we have finished, having had a shower and then again the same oil for its marvelous moisturising properties and skin protection. Gardening is great for our health and when we grow our own fruit and vegetables using soil enriching natural products then we have the benefit of great tasting produce that is brimming with healthy goodness. Recently I wrote an article in regards to the Supermarket promotion of 'Little Gardens' and one of my readers emailed me the following: Excellent article Wally.
They will eat any vegetable put on their plates & like them raw even better than cooked in most cases! We started them off helping in the garden as soon as they could walk and they were eating radishes covered in dirt as soon as they had a couple of teeth. They have excellent health & don't get sick any where near as often as most other children their age. On the rare occasion that they do get sick, they are over it in a few days while others are sick for weeks (Not boasting, just pointing out the miraculous power of healthy home grown organic veges).
Our 3 children are also growing the NW supermarket little gardens at home & just love anything to do with growing plants (and eating them of course) Thanks for the great article once again. Tony Olsen. Thanks Tony, your observations confirm my own and the power of gardening in regards to our health and the health of our loved ones. Kids that grow up doing gardening with their parents will learn about Nature, take pleasure in growing vegetables and flowers and gain a appetite for the things they grow that are full of goodness, flavor and very tasty. This brings up an interesting thought about children that do not like eating the conventionally grown produce which lacks in both flavour and goodness and may contain many chemicals that are used while the crops are growing. There are natural products that can increase the goodness and health of your plants and gardens and one of these is Magic Botanic Liquid (MBL)I have heard some great comments about MBL over the years one of which was that after regular two weekly spraying of their roses , roses that had no noticeable perfume previously now have beautiful scents plus the foliage being free of common diseases. MBL ( Known also as Humate and Fulvic acid ) is a growth booster for plants, it makes for much bigger root systems, stronger and healthier plants.
Benefits include; Aids and speeds up germination of seeds. Helps to release locked up fertilisers from past applications especially phosphates.

Improves seed germination. Accelerates root development. Stimulates plant enzymes. Contains a number of trace elements such as Si, Mg, S, Mn and more. Increases ability for photosynthesis.
Contains silica which strengthens cell walls, helps block disease and regulates cell temperature which increases drought and frost tolerance. Increase p. H buffering properties of soil. Retains and releases water soluble fertilisers for plants when needed. Increases soil aeration. Improves soil structure. Makes soil more friable. Has a capacity to detoxify chemical residues and heavy metals.
A powerful, natural chelating agent. Improves taste and shelf- life. Fulvic acid can promote prolonged production, as it tends to delay the aging process.
Fulvic acid increases the metabolism of proteins. Used at the rates of 2. A must for roses, tomatoes and all vegetable and fruit crops. Green keepers are using it for better turf so onto the lawn for better healthier lawns. If you have brown patches on the lawn where dogs have urinated use MBL to help restore or re- establish grass.
Use on your flowering annuals for bigger displays and you will need less plants to fill beds. Growing from seed is the most cost effective but there are a few snags in doing so for the beginner. Buying seedlings already to plant is a quicker solution; it will cost you more per plant and will not guarantee that you do not have problems. Gardeners that allow one or two of their annual vegetables or flowers to go to seed will not only have free seeds to plant next season and will have seeds from plants that have started to adjust to the growing conditions of your gardens and locality. This is an interesting fact; GMO seeds which appeared to preform well in lab like conditions failed horribly when grown in India, when compared to seeds that had been grown over hundreds of years locally. I have recently had a few phone calls and emails from gardeners complaining that their efforts in germinating seeds are not producing strong healthy plants.
In all these cases the reason was light and the lack of it. When a seed germinates it sends up a pair of embryo leaves on a stalk while underneath the tap root races downwards forming rootlets as it goes.
Many gardeners including myself like to germinate seeds indoors on a heat pad; in a hot water cupboard or on a window sill. When the seed sprouts and the first foliage emerges, the leaves will detect any light source and grow towards that source. On a window sill the light is coming through the window; I call this sideways light, it is not directly overhead.
Thus during the day the seedling will stretch to the glass of the window making for a weak plant, which is likely to die. At night time the seedling would normally stop growing as there is no light but being indoors you may have the lights on so now the plant detects light coming from a light bulb and starts growing in that direction. The poor seedling it is totally confused; not very good sideways light for many hours of the day then a weaker light from the opposite direction for a few hours at night. Now if you stop to think about a seed germinating outside in the garden; we have the sun rising in the morning with a great strong light so the seedling opens its leaves to catch as much of this light as possible. As the sun moves across the sky the leaves follow (not the stalk which is now going to grow straight up) When the sun goes down and it is dark the plant stops growing till the sun rises and the process repeats.
Artificial light at night or good moon light will allow the plant to grow a bit more during the night. If in a hot water cupboard and if totally dark the seeds will germinate, throw up the embryo leaves and then they will turn yellow due to lack of light. If there is the faintest bit of light from a gap in the door then they will quickly stretch to that light and fail. The secret when germinating indoors is as soon as you have a show of sprouts move the seed tray out into a glasshouse or similar. If you do not have a glasshouse; take an old drawer or similar and place a sheet of glass over it with your seedling tray inside getting good overhead light.
