Home & Garden

Summer is almost here and so is time for starting to plant gardens and flower beds.

Some people are born with green thumbs, but some of us need extra help when picking plants and planting and designing gardens.

Many of my friends are avid gardeners and I always rely on their help and expertise when it comes to gardening.

Over the years they gave me many tips and ideas how to make sure that my garden is full of beautiful flowers.

If you are buying all of your plants and shrubs from a nursery there are few steps you need to follow to make sure that you come home with the best of the best.

There are 5 things you must remember when visiting nursery:

#1. Always buy at least 4 containers of each variety.

#2. Always pick plants that have flowers in a full bloom.

#3. Make sure you buy plants that look full and colorful even after they lose all the flowers.

#4. Do not buy plants that are marked down due to being dry or sitting at the nursery for a long time. You might save money, but you might have to replace then few weeks later.

#5. Do not buy flowers or plants with small roots.

After you bring your plants home there are steps you should remember to get the most out of your plants and make sure that your garden is the envy of the neighborhood.

3 things to remember after bringing your plants home:

#1. Make sure you replant your flowers when you get home or make sure they are well watered (evening or early morning is the best time). Try to plant them within 24 hours.

#2. Place your planters or plant your flowers and plants according to their labels. Plants that need partial shade won’t do well in sunny spots and vice versa.

#3. Chose a color scheme. If you have few areas you can have few different color schemes that compliment each other.

Remember these 8 gardening steps and you will have the nicest garden around.

Don’t forget to water, water, water.
