how to do organic gardening, organic gardening tips, techniques:

Dear Organic Garden lover,

When I was a little boy I sp most school holidays with my grandpars. We lived many hours drive from them, so I was always excited to be going to stay for a week or two.
I h many warm memories of wandering around after my grandpa in the garden. He'd talk to me about this plant and t, showing me how to look after them, when to pick them and even how to store them. He'd let me plant seeds with him. And of course te was the feeding of the chooks (chickens) and collecting the 'googs' (googy eggs) as we'd c them.

My favourite part of the day was mid-morning when we'd rituy go pick our oranges. We'd bring them into grandpa's work shed, slice them and slurp away! They had a Valencia tree and a Nl, so te were oranges ready to pick almost year round. Their home grown fruits and vegetables tasted so much better n w I was used to at home (my pars didn't rey care much for gardening, so pretty much of our food came from the supermarket).
It was those cished times sp with my grandpa t g me my love of gardening. But when I finy bought my own home, some years later and started to garden - well let's just say t I didn't h a green thumb. It was embarrassing! Surely te's a gardening gene passed on from generation to generation? Even if it skipped a generation t should h still worked out for me.
Several seasons in a row I started out with so much husiasm, only to watch my veggies start off OK, then become straggly and wit, or bolt straight to seed. W was I doing wrong???
When I think back now on those early years I can see clearly each and every mistake.... well it's the bleeding obvious ones t rey stand out in my mind. My biggest problem was t my grandpars had both passed over by the time I had my own "garden".

And my pars didn't h a clue about gardening, so they were no help. Most of my friends grew up with the same dilemma as me - our pars just weren't gardeners.

So te was quite a bit of hit and miss in my first few years of organic gardening. I managed to h some things give me sm yields, but many of my plants didn't thrive. The thing is, t I rey loved the time I sp in the garden - especiy the veggie garden. It was the one place we I could feel calm... to recharge and restore some sanity to my life.
I decided to get a serious amount of learning into my head, one way or anot. I decided to educate myself so t I could get good at growing my own food.
I studied horticulture at TAFE, completing certificate III in Horticulture. Then I became the co-owner of an edible plants nursery for several years.

By this time I was growing enough vegetables to keep my family going over the main growing season. I was quite proud of myself - and still am. The thrill of saying "I grew t" about things we were eating - well I can tell you - it's joyful. Truly joyful!

But you don't h to spend the time it took me, effort and money to learn how to become a successful organic gardener.
