How to Plant Flowers in Your Garden
How to plant flowers in your garden is easier than you think. Most gardening tips tell you to go out and buy some flowers. But if you are like me that just don’t have the time, or money, or inclination to spend such things on flowers then here is some good news. You can learn how to plant flowers in your garden from instructional books and on line. And there are also videos available that show exactly how to plant flowers in your garden step by step.
When it comes to flower growing there are three main types: annuals, perennials, and flowering vines. Annuals are the easiest to grow because they need very little maintenance and are usually packed away in the fall. Perennials and flowering vines will thrive on your garden for a few years and then need to be replanted each year. Annuals will also attract bees and other insects to your garden if you provide them with plenty of water.
So, how to plant flowers in your garden? To begin with, you need to decide which flowers you would like to have in your area. If you live in a dry or cold climate then you might want to consider an annual. These flowers come in all colors and sizes. They can be placed in any location in your yard and still not seem to be the most attention seeking.
On the other hand, if you live in a warm or sunny climate then you will probably want to choose a perennial. These plants grow slowly and bloom for a few years before going dormant. They are a bit more difficult to take care of but once you master the art of caring for them they can be a wonderful addition to your landscape. They can be placed in any location in your yard and still not seem to get noticed.
Next you want to think about the size of your flower garden. Do you want a lot of small plants to go along with a few larger plants? Are you going to be planting herbs or fruit trees? All these considerations are going to affect the size of the plants that you will need to purchase. Some people plant vegetables and flowers in the same container, while others place only a few plants together in one large container.
One last thing you need to decide on is how to space your flower garden. You could place several small plants close together on a small bed or row or you could place several larger plants on one small area. The idea is to make sure that each plant gets enough room to grow. If you place too many plants too close together then the entire flower garden will end up taking up the same amount of space. This is especially true if you have more than one type of flower.
Most flower gardens are not all about the flowers though. Some people choose to plant flowers that can add color and beauty to their garden as well. These might include shrubs, herbs, or colorful vegetables. Just remember that the flowers are only the beginning of your flower garden when it comes to color.
For those that might be thinking that they do not have the time to care for their garden, there are a few things that you can purchase that will help you. Flower seed packs are a great way to get started. They come with everything that you need to get started including the soil and seeds. You can then just add your plants as they grow. You will be able to see the results rather quickly. These flower seed packs are perfect for people who are having problems getting started or trying to grow their first flower.
