The correct soil can make a big difference in how your garden grows.

It can happen where one artificial area is designated to have just one type of soil.
Bulbs will give you wonderful flowers that you can enjoy in early spring and right through the summer. Not only are bulbs hearty and easy to grow, but they'll continue to grow as time goes on. If you choose your plants carefully, you could have flowers in blossom from the first weeks of spring to the end of the summer.
It is important that you give your plants the chance to gradually adjust to the change in temperature and conditions, or you risk shocking them. The first day you transfer your plants, you should only allow them to sit in direct sunlight for a few hours. As time goes by, slowly increase the time they spent outdoors. The plants should be prepared to move outside permanently at the end of this week.
The approach of fall means you need to start planting autumn goodies. A pumpkin makes a great container, and costs less than a clay pot. After cutting an opening and removing the meat and seeds from inside the pumpkin, use Wilt-Pruf, sprayed throughout the inside and cut edges, and prevent rot from occurring. Finished? Now you're all set for planting!
When you decide to add vegetables into your garden space, be aware that they must be placed where they will receive direct sunlight for a minimum of six hours daily. Proper sunlight is a prerequisite for proper growth. This is true of some flowers.
Always have a plan for the garden prior to the start of planting it. This is a good way to remember which plants have been planted in each area before they grow. Another benefit is that you won't lose the little plants in a big garden patch.
Use biennials and annuals to beautify your flower beds. These flowers grow quickly and can be planted at any time during the year.

They can be used to fill in gaps in your garden between the perennials or shrubs so your garden looks fuller. There are many different varieties to choose from such as daisies, marigolds, impatiens, and lantana.
