Gardening can be a fun and relaxing hobby but it is not without
it’s downsides. That downside comes in the form of pests and
diseases that can ruin your plants if you are not careful.
No garden is immune from disease and your greatest way to deal with
it is to educate yourself as to the common pests and diseases in
your area. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can attack both flowering
and non flowering plants. Fungi are able to survive in the soil,
independent of the plants, while both bacteria and viruses
require a plant host for their survival.
Fungi are primitive organisms that reproduce through spores
which are very hard to kill. Fungi make spores in huge
quantities and they spread rapidly. Some spores can affect a
plant through the roots and others through the leaves. Fungi can
lie dormant for years in the soil just waiting for the right
conditions to activate it. A single infected plant can release
up to 100 million spores, so it is important to completely
eradicate any fungal infection.
Bacteria, on the other hand, need both warmth and water to
multiply and grow. Therefore, the majority of bacterial diseases
are extra of a problem in climates that are both warm and wet.
Bacteria can be spread thorough splashing water such as rain or
overhead watering. Many times it enters plants through a natural
opening like a flower, or through a wound or cut in a stem or
leaf.
Viruses can only reproduce from within the cells of the plant.
They are smaller even than bacteria and can be transmitted by
insects or carried by infected seeds or pollen. Like bacteria,
viruses often enter plants through cuts or wounds in the stems,
leaves or other parts of the plant.
As with all other disease treatment, the first step to
compellingly treating a viral, bacterial or fungal infection in
the garden is to diagnose it properly. Every gardener should
keep a book or guide on hand which shows the effects of common
plant diseases. This guide will prove incherished when trying to
figure out what is bothering your plants. If you are still
stumped for a diagnosis, be sure to seek the assistance of the
staff at your local garden center, or the help of a fresh
experienced gardener.
If you need to treat your garden for any of these problems, you
should first try natural non invasive methods. Try to avoid
harsh chemicals and fungicides or same them for a last resort.
While you may have to turn to using them, remember that they are
not good for the environment so keep to using only the minimum
amounts recommended.

Catch that bouquet of flowers! It is always a joy lining up in a
pool of bachelorettes swarming to catch those bouquets thrown by
the bride. Just being one of the audiences can be just as
exciting. Tradition says that anyone who catches the bouquet
would be the next bride.
Flowers play an integral part in any wedding ceremonies. They
have been a symbol of new hope and a good future ahead. The
bride and the groom would surely feel like heaven with flowers
blooming everywhere on their reception. More than a decoration,
wedding flowers have now been a tradition. A wedding will be
quite incomplete without these fragrant gifts of mother earth.
Hiring a wedding coordinator or a florist so that your bouquet
will be professionally done can be considered as an option. But
if you are on a strict budget, and have some creativity hidden
deep inside you, there is no hurt in making them on your own.
They can still look elegant and stunning as long as you know
what color and kind of flowers to use. The tips below will help
you in customizing your wedding flowers.
1. Choosing Flowers
In picking what flowers to choose, keep in mind the theme and
the color premise of the wedding. It should match and blend well
with the entourage and the bride’s gown too. Another point to
consider is the availability of the flower type. Depending on
the season, you can order the freshest, the most available and
the cheapest kind of flowers. Flowers like babyís breath,
orchids, gardenia and roses are readily obtainable no matter
what time of the year.
2. Preparing The Materials
The bouquet that the bride carries on the aisle is where the
flowers play a major part. It is very easy to create your own.
First, gather up your materials. You will need about three
dozens of your chosen flower, a sharp scissor, florist tape, and
ribbons.
3. Making A Bouquet
It is advisable to order your flowers on the day of the event
and get the freshest pick possible. Start by choosing three
roses that you would use as the centerpiece of your arrangement.
Puff air into the center of each flower to give it a fuller
look. Put them together, creating a triangle. Stack each flower
unevenly; each one should have a slightly different level of
height. This technique adds dimension to your arrangement. Just
continue adding up two to three flowers at a time until they
form a dome. After which, you can tie them up with a florist
tape at least 8 inches below the flowers.
Be sure to ask some help taping the stem, you might have a
difficulty holding all 36 flowers and tying them together at the
same time. Finally finish out with a suitable ribbon that
matches the color of the flowers and your wedding dress. You can
tie them up in a bow. Be sure to cover all the florist tape with
ribbons. Carefully cut the excess stems with a sharp scissor
approximately an inch below the ribbon. Place the bouquet on a
plastic container or a vase with a quarter inch of water or you
can store them inside a fridge covered by a loose plastic bag.
Finally, spray the flowers with water avoiding the ribbons.
That’s it! That’s how you can customize your bouquet. Remember
to check your arrangement in a mirror with you holding it so you
would picture how it would look like to someone else’s view.
Wedding flowers can still look stunning without sacrificing your
budget. Now you are ready to walk down the aisle with that
pretty and personalized bouquet of flowers in your hand.
