Spring Garden Tips
09/05/10

Gardeners, it's time to put your gardening skills to the test. If temperatures
are cooperating, the merry months of May and June will be your busiest until
September, with planning, planting, and patio projects to lead the way into
summer. Don't be fooled by a late frost; find out the mean freeze date in your
area, and be sure soil is warm and workable—not too wet, not too dry—before
putting tender plants in the ground.
By the time your garden is prime for planting, you should already have a plan
of attack in place. Are you going to be planting bulbs, annual, more perennials,
or a vegetable and herb garden. Maybe even all of the above if you are blessed
with a big yard. Once you have a plan, its time to acquire your new plants.
The quickest and easiest way is to buy your plants online. Everything you need
from seeds, bulbs, and tools can be found through online merchants, and many
sites even offer online coupons for increased savings. Small starters usually
cannot be shipped directly to you, but can be sent to a store close to home
for pick-up at your convenience.
If you are going to be putting in sensitive vegetables like cucumbers, squash,
tomatoes, and melons, you may wish to wait a few weeks after the last thaw to
ensure they don’t get damaged by an extra cold night. If you want to plant
early, consider sowing heartier vegetables like potatoes, peas, beans, carrots,
and lettuce. Not sure about when to plant, then ask an expert at your local
gardening center.
For all the beautiful colors of spring, consider planting both annual and perennial
flowers. Although your perennials will still be around from last year, you may
want to add a few of your favorites to replace flowers lower on your list. Annuals
are an important part to every garden. They bring some of the richest, most
vibrant colors to your garden. Plant your annuals from starters if you want
an early spring bloom. Make sure that you plant annuals in areas of your yard
that get at least five hours of direct sunlight per day. Don’t be cheap
on the plant food and watering, and you will ensure your flowers get the right
ingredients for full, healthy blossoms.
Once the initial preparing and planting are finished, you can sit back and
relax, letting your sprinklers do the rest of the work. If you work hard early
on, your hardest task in summer will be choosing which flowers to make cuttings
of and create bouquets for the kitchen and dining room. Enjoy the fruits of
your labor… until next spring.
