the activity of tending and cultivating a garden, especially as a pastime.”her love of gardening

Gardening is a good hobby but it asks for attention like a toddler at home otherwise the garden will be fade within days as a child falls prey to evil eye. It is business of God to grow landscapes to decorate the earth. To to plant for plants is a tough job for a lay man but it is easy for those who interested in plating a garden.

“Gardener. In a broad sense, anyone who cultivates a garden. In the restricted sense, one who has been trained in horticulture for a number of years, passing through the different grades of student or apprentice, journeyman, and foreman. Such a man or woman must possess plenty of tact, ability to manage a staff, be well educated, and above all be thoroughly practical with a sufficient knowledge of the scientific principles on which horticultural practice is based to appreciate and apply the results of horticultural experiment and research.”

The other key to growing organically is to choose plants suited to the site. Plants adapted to your climate and conditions are better able to grow without a lot of attention or input; on the other hand, when you try to grow a plant that is not right for your site, you will probably have to boost its natural defenses to keep it healthy and productive.

It seems interesting and I am impressed by that very garden you are managing. You must be enjoying the beauty of that garden. It will refresh the air present there. It will fill it with oxygen gas.

I wish I had some place for such a little garden at our home place. I tried the idea by placing some pots at the top of our building but it did not work and all the pots were ultimately broken down by kids. I am not in a position to think about such and idea. Hope in th near future I do something in this connection.

Thanks. My garden has a lot of greenery and that water body adds to the natural setting.

Well here in the US there are a few doctors who have started making house calls, but it is a service that few can afford. I am afraid that the old time doctor who made house calls is gone for good. At least there are some affordable clinics around though.

You are right in your thinking. Such type of great doctors are rarely found around us but still there are some doctors who care and give proper attention to the patients. These great doctors do not charge high fee and try their level best to improve the health of their patient.

Thinking back, one of the best doctors I knew was a GP. She set up her practice in a neighborhood where she could provide healthcare services to those who could pay and those who could not. She did not make house calls. But she was a really good doctor! These days it’s rare to find medical practitioners like her. I do miss that.

Hope old times get revived. That approach is so necessary to get back our health without having to run from pillar to post.

Yes, children are most important part of a family and children heath rest of exercise and the best exercise is to be athlete. It makes makes all human organs active and makes fresh human mind and soul in the broader sense.

All kids need to eat balanced meals and have a healthy diet. But should that balance change for kids who play on a sports team or work out?

Kids need to eat the right amount and mix of foods to support that higher level of activity, but that mix might not be too different from a normal healthy diet. Eating for sports should be an extension of healthy eating for life.

Kids who eat healthy, well-balanced meals and snacks will get the nutrients needed to perform well in sports. Kids and teens who are involved in all-day competitions or strenuous endurance sports (like rowing, cross-country running, or competitive swimming) that can involve 1½ to 2 hours or more of activity at a time, in particular, may need to consume more food to keep up with increased energy demands.

Most athletes will naturally eat the right amount of food their bodies need. But if you’re concerned that your child is getting too much or too little food, check in with your doctor.

Besides getting the right amount of calories, it takes a variety of nutrients to keep young athletes performing at their best:

Vitamins and minerals: Kids need a variety of vitamins and minerals. Calcium and iron are two important minerals for athletes:
Calcium helps build strong bones to resist breaking and stress fractures. Calcium-rich foods include low-fat dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese, as well as leafy green vegetables such as broccoli.
Iron helps carry oxygen to all the different body parts that need it. Iron-rich foods include lean meat, chicken, tuna, salmon, eggs, dried fruits, leafy green vegetables, and fortified whole grains.

Protein: Protein helps build and repair muscles, and most kids get plenty of it through a balanced diet. Protein-rich foods include fish, lean meat and poultry, dairy products, beans, nuts, and soy products. Too much protein can lead to dehydration and calcium loss.
Carbohydrates: Carbs provide energy for the body.

Some diet plans have urged weight-conscious adults to steer clear of carbs, but for a young athlete they’re an important source of fuel. There’s no need for “carb loading” (eating a lot of carbs in advance of a big game), but without carbs in their diet, kids will be running on empty. When you’re choosing carbs, look for whole-grain foods like whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, whole-grain bread and cereal, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.

This is hearty sturdy plant. It is a childhood memory. My late mother loved to plant them. 🙂

Really it is a beautiful flower because looks cute and charmful for eyes and senses and soul. Gerbera flowers are some of the most popular cut flowers included in all sorts of arrangements.

No matter if you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary or just want a floral gift to say thank you, gerbera flowers with their cheerful nature will surely brighten up the day of the recipient.

Thanks to their affordability, adding gerberas to your bouquet won’t cost you a fortune and it will make the bouquet a lot more impressive. Gerberas are the fifth most popular cut flowers after roses, carnations, Chrysanthemums (surprisingly) and tulips.

If you want a long lasting flower, gerbera should be your choice – they are one of the longest lasting flowers when used as a cut flower in a vase.

If you look at gerbera flower, you would think that it’s just one big flower head with lots of small petals. In fact, the flower head is a huge cluster of hundreds of flowers.

There are currently around 40 documented species of gerberas around the world

It’s an irony that at the same time folks are beginning to learn about the health benefits of honey, other folks are having to make extra efforts to save the bees!

Bess are destroyed when extracting honey from beehives that one sees in small gardens. Commericially collecting honey is done where bees are not killed.

Honey is most useful for human health but honey must be wild honey nor of farm honey. I think these are ten most important benefits as

Prevent cancer and heart disease. Honey contains flavonoids, antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease.
Reduce ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders. …
Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-fungal. …
Increase athletic performance. …
Reduce cough and throat irritation.

Discover the health benefits of one of the oldest sweeteners on earth, plus some interesting trivia, some great recipes and a few cautions.

Bees swallow, digest and regurgitate nectar to make honey; this nectar contains almost 600 compounds. We need our bees, so let’s do everything we can to save them and keep them here on this earth.

Honey is so good we have included it in our list of powerfoods that should be in your kitchen right now.
