by Wiley Geren and Bryan Traficante
Plants often give off warning signs when
they’re not doing well. For new growers, it
may be difficult to translate what these signs
mean. Wiley Geren and Bryan Traficante of
gardeninminutes.com help identify some
problems that are easily fixed.

ardening is a fun hobby that can yield beautiful flowers,
delicious food, and personal satisfaction. Anyone can
enjoy the delights of gardening, whether they are younger,
older, city-dwellers, or country-folk. Most everyone decides
to try their hand at gardening at some point in life, but not
everyone continues. Similar to the challenges associated with
other hobbies, some become apprehensive when progress
isn’t made or unforeseen issues arise. Eventually, the garden
(windowsill hanger, raised bed, row garden, wall hanger, etc.)
is left untended, and almost-gardeners move on.
