You can find a ton of information for making your garden<\/a> grow this spring and summer! Compost, aerate, weed, feed, water, repeat – that about covers. This article talks about tips to help you garden in safety and comfort since there are dangers that can lurk among the flowers and tomatoes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Practice these 5 tips and you will have a great gardening season.<\/p>\n

Protect Yourself from the Heat<\/h3>\n

Vegetables and Lillis enjoy a setting that is in full sunlight. Your skin does not! Wear a broad brimmed hat and cover your arms with either sunscreen or a light cotton shirt. We need some sun light for the production of Vitamin D. Too much sun is not healthy. Limit your time in the direct sun and you will keep your skin safe and healthy.<\/p>\n

Wear Gardening Gloves<\/h3>\n

Nettles, bees, thorns, pruning shears, tool handles and other menaces can sting, nick, poke or blister our hands. A good pair of gloves, preferably leather, will keep your hands in good shape, safe from the dangers they encounter every gardening session.<\/p>\n

Carry Water With You To Hydrate!<\/h3>\n

Keeping all your green things watered as needed is essential to their growth and fruitfulness. Keeping yourself hydrated is much more important. Take a water bottle or two with you and remember to sip on it with every row you water or bed you weed.<\/p>\n

Save your Back and your Knees<\/h3>\n

If you are a serious gardener, then you know how it feels to have a backache or sore knees after working in your garden all day. A soft knee board or even knee pads will really take the pressure off your knees. If you have a gardening stool, you can sit down a while you weed the flowerbed and it will keep you from having to hunch over so much. Your knees and back will definitely appreciate it!<\/p>\n

Keep your House Cool<\/h3>\n

You can get overheated while gardening, sometimes before we know it. If you feel light-headed, see spots, or feel your pulse pounding, head inside immediately. Its important that the house be cool, too, not hot and stuffy. So have the central air conditioner<\/a> running. Soak a washcloth in cold water and put it on the back of your neck or forehead. These practices will help your body temperature cool quickly. Since having a cool home environment in hot weather is more than just an issue of comfort, make sure you have your hvac system<\/a> maintained, fixed or even replaced if it’s getting old. You need a cool place to truly beat the heat.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful season out in the garden. If you tend your garden well, it will provide beauty, pleasure and lots of fresh veggies. And a well-tended gardener,can enjoy your pursuits more fully when you have taken precautions to keep yourself safe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
