Prior to planting your garden, devise a plan. Doing this makes it easier to keep track of where you planted what when you first start to see sprouts. It can also keep you from planting any of your garden favorites too close to each other.
Increase the value of your property! For landscaping your yard, pick out plant species that fit your climate and require little watering.
Some plants will thrive when you re-plant them, while others won't do nearly as well. It's simple to check the plants that need re-potted. Simply turn them upside down and tap their container until you notice the plant falling out willingly. If you see a lot of roots, it is time to get a new pot. On the other hand, if only a minuscule amount of roots are showing or none at all, then your plant will be all right in the pot it was already in.
Do you want fresh mint leaves without having to worry about them growing too quickly? Keep the growth under control by growing them in a large gardening pot instead. If you would like, go ahead and plant the container and the plant right in the ground to prevent root overtake.
Bulbs planted in the spring can flower all the way into summer. Bulbs are hearty and will continue to grow every year. Different types of bulbs bloom at different times, so if you choose appropriately, you can have blooms from early spring to late summer.
If your garden space is limited, try a dwarf variety of your favorite fruit tree. While many city lots especially have small gardens, it's so easy to find some room for these tiny little fruit trees. A dwarf fruit tree will begin to produce fruit in around 3 years, and the fruit will be full sized. Plant in the early spring, and make sure the tree is well-watered.
Remember to always keep your gardening tools stored in a secure, safe place. Do not leave your belongings in sight, and get a lock for the garage or shed where you keep your tools; you do not want your valuables to go missing.
Use a wheelbarrow and a kneeling stool when you're working in your garden. In order to relieve stress on your knees when gardening, always use a small garden stool to be more comfortable. A wheelbarrow will come in handy to easily move dirt, rocks and other heavy objects.
A garden needs the right type of soil to grow properly. For a tiny fee, a soil analysis may be done, and based on the results, the soil can support a growing garden by you enriching it as necessary. Cooperative Extension departments often offer this testing service. It is a worthwhile effort so a garden can be productive on the first year of planting.
With these tips, you're better equipped to grow the most beautiful garden you can imagine. In learning how to create your dream garden, you'll also be growing as a person. That's because learning how to nurture your plants will not only help you reach the goal of having a great garden, but it will help you learn to nurture yourself.
