Make sure your soil is healthy enough before you start planting anything. For a small fee, a soil analysis can be obtained – based on that report – the soil can be properly enriched to support a vibrant garden. The cost of the analysis will be easily offset by the benefits of a healthy and vibrant crop.
Fill your garden with bulbs if you want to enjoy beautiful flowers through the spring and into summer. Most bulbs are hardy and require little to no care in order to develop into beautiful perennials that will reappear each and every year. Different bulbs bloom at various times, so choosing appropriately, you may have blooms early spring to later summer.
Start Planting
When it’s autumn, it’s time to start planting all of your fall edibles. Try using a pumpkin as a natural plant pot. You can plant fall vegetables such as lettuce in an empty pumpkin shell. Simply cut the pumpkin open at the top, so you can remove the seeds and insides. After that, spray Wilt-Pruf along the edges and on the inside of the pumpkin, so it doesn’t rot. You can start planting now.
Do you love fresh mint leaves but hate how they quickly grow to take over your garden? Rein their growth; you can do this simply by planting mint inside a larger garden container or pot. You can then plant the container down in the ground if you like, but the walls of the container will hold the roots captive, and keep the plant from taking over your garden!
The best way to start a garden is from first principles: seeds. When you begin a garden, it’s most eco friendly to do so with seed. The plastics used in nurseries are rarely recycled and ends up in landfills, so it is best to start with the seeds or buy from nurseries who use organic materials in packaging their plants.
Heat softens vegetables, so you can damage them immensely by pulling them out of the ground or cutting them off vines when it is too hot outside. Also ensure that you use a tool to cut the vegetables off at the vine. If you just yank or twist the whole plant, it may become damaged.
Heather can be planted to attract useful insects. Bees are attracted to heather, and they can bring a source of nectar early in the spring. Since a heather bed is normally left undisturbed, ground beetles, spiders and other beneficial insects tend to live inside it. Bearing this in mind, it is always a good idea to wear gardening gloves when pruning your heather!
Like you were told you at the beginning, horticulture isn’t hard to do if you understand what it is you are doing. The tips we have shared with you in this article should have armed you with the needed information to produce a garden, which is a work of art.
