Gardening Tips for the Home Gardener.

Editors Note:
We have all heard by now about the Corona virus. That is spreading around the globe. It is a nervous time across the country and world wide. There are many things that as Adults around the world we can do to keep our selves SAFE. Eat Healthy get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water, stay away from crowds, learn to do the elbow bump.

The USA is stronger. This Will pass but it will take time and patience from all of us, and thinking of others besides our selves.

At-home composting has become more popular than ever thanks to a growing interest in sustainability and eliminating food waste. But for beginners, the undertaking can be daunting — not to mention, tainted with the fear of smelly apple cores and rotting banana peels stinking up the kitchen. Luckily, at-home composting is a fairly simple process if you have the right tools and some basic knowledge. Here’s everything you need to know to start composting today.

While the kids may be at home from school. Now is a great time to make home composting a family event. Use this opportunity to teach and have some family time. Right now food waste ends up in our land fill. which prevents it from decomposing properly.

Listed I hope will be some useful help to many. To the people who like to Garden as much as I do. Let's go play in the dirt. Worry less about the Virus let's have some fun, into the fun of the dirt in our fingers, the sights that we will see in the coming months of flowering plants and vegetables starting to form. There is a lot to be Thankful for .

Top 10 Planting Tips for Springtime
1. Assess the Land.
2. Ready Your Engines.
3. Prune Trees and Shrubs.
4. Test your Soil.
5. Get to Planting.
6. Position is Key.
7. Garden in Spades.
8. Work in Pairs.
9. Fertile grounds.
10. Compose a Compost.

Determining when to plant in the spring can be harder than predicting the ups and downs of the stock market. Part science and part superstition, deciding when to plant is the biggest decision of the year if you farm for a living. For the rest of us, it usually just means a little extra work and another stop at the nursery if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Or for your editor you wish that some one dropped into your basket a winning lotto ticket and you could have everything you see at the Nursery. And some one to just find a way to rid your self of ever pulling weeds or the testy morning glory. Why is it that something that is so pretty to look at is such a bother and it winds it self around a perfectly good rose bush and it is so hard to get rid of the Morning Glory with out killing the Rose Bush. Isn't there a Morning Glory be gone.

Solve my maze.

1. Shoulders Roll your shoulders forward and backward 10 times each to relieve tension and ease the muscles. Breathe in, lift your shoulders, crunch your neck, hold your breath for 30 seconds and then release your shoulders. Do this 10 times. Move each shoulder forward and backward alternatively, 10 times on each side.

2. Neck Stretch your neck forward, backward, to the left and right. This move reduces the strain on your neck, shoulders, and clears your mind. Clench your neck muscles until they’re taut. Hold for a few seconds and then release.

3. Chest Open your arms wide push your wrists and thumbs back and stretch your arms away from your shoulders. This will expand your chest and allow you to take in more oxygen. Repeat this exercise every hour or so.

4. Tummy Breathe in, suck in your tummy, hold it in for a few seconds, and then release it as you breathe out. Repeat this move every few minutes during your day. Breathe in and pull in your pelvic floor muscles. Hold this position for a few seconds and then release.

5. Arms Grab a full water bottle and hold it up over your head. Keep this position for 30 seconds and alternate with your other arm. Sit straight, move your chair back and hold both your arms out straight in front of you. Hold this position for 30 seconds and then relax. Rotate your arms clockwise and anticlockwise 10 times on each side.

6. Wrists Roll your wrists both clockwise and anticlockwise every now and then, at least 10 times with each wrist. Wrists are prone to Repetitive Stress Syndrome and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; you can prevent these from occurring by constantly working out your wrists. Flap your wrists frontwards and backwards as though you’re serving a tennis ball. Repeat this move several times.

7. Hands Squeeze a hand gripper repeatedly for at least a minute with each hand. You can do this while reading something on your screen. Keep your palms straight in front of you, and spread your fingers as far as they will go. Keep the position for a few seconds and then release. Repeat several times.

8. Fingers Get hold of exercise rubber bands or any strong, thick rubber bands. Loop a band around your forefingers and stretch it as far as you can and then release. Do this with your other fingers. Interlace your fingers and push your elbows apart. Do this as often as you can. The stretch feels good for fingers that have strained on the keyboard all day.

9. Ankles Roll your ankles clockwise and anticlockwise every hour or so. Take off your shoes if possible, stand on your toes and lean back. Your ankles will strengthen with this exercise.

10. Feet Clench all your toes and release them after a few seconds. Move all your toes and allow air to pass between them.

11. Calves Stretch your leg out in front of you and pull back your feet. This stretches your calves. Hold this position for a few seconds and then release. Do it 10 times with both legs. Lift your legs on the balls of your feet; hold the position for a few seconds and then release. This exercise will prevent blood clots from forming.

12. Thighs Breathe in, lift both legs together upwards towards your chest, keep your legs up for 30 seconds and release as you breathe out. Repeat every hour. This will pull at your thigh muscles and tighten them. Clench your butt and thighs and hold the position for 30 seconds. Release and repeat several times.

13. Butt Clench and unclench your buttocks alternately, holding them in the clenched position for 30 seconds each time. Clench both buttocks together and release them after 30 seconds.

14. Back Push your shoulders back until they meet in the middle of your back. Push your body slightly forward and exercise your back muscles. Hold the position for a few seconds and then release. Keep your body straight and twist your upper body at the waist to the left and the right. Twist it as far as it will go, moving your head along with your waist. This will relax your back muscles, which take most of the strain during your workday.

15. Eyes Shut your eyes twice every hour. Place the pads of your palms on your eyes and apply mild pressure. This will relieve eyestrain. Take your eyes off your monitor and let them wander around for a few seconds every now and then. This exercise keeps your eyes alert and reduces possible headaches and eye irritation.
