Spring Gardening Guide
By admin | February 27, 2007
The first Part of our Spring Gardening Guide begins here:
Get an idea. Is this going to be a fruit / vegetable garden? A herb or flower garden? If you choose to flowers, do you want annuals, which you need to replant every year but give the color you love most of the summer? Or do you like the idea of perennials, which have a shorter bloom time but come back stronger and stronger year after year?
Pick a place. Almost all vegetables and most flowers need about six hours of full sun each day. Spend time in and around the garden check out and note the sun moves across the garden, how much light and shade each area gets. Dont worry if your garden is largely sunless; there are a bunch of plants that tolerate shade. Check plant tags or ask in your local garden center to find out how much sun a plant needs.
