What to Consider when it Comes to Garden Care

Before you head to the garden centre with your credit card, ready to buy up a storm, you should always have a brainstorming party in your head to determine what your goals, your limits and your plans are for your garden.

Think about your Sense of Style

Gardening is an expression of you.
Take your time when picking out flowers and do not be afraid to ask for help when it comes to choosing the right plants for your backyard.
When you visit a garden centre, the staff will be able to answer any questions you have.
Try to pick flowers that will work with your personality.
If you are bright and bubbly, choose flowers that are the same.
If you love order and structure, then look for a flower arrangement that suits you.
Consider your garden like another room in your house; get creative when decorating and caring for your garden.

Think about your Backyard

The first thing you need to think about when it comes to your back yard (or front yard) is where the garden would be best suited.
Do you have kids that love to play soccer and may try to use your garden as a goal net? Do you have a dog that adores digging, especially when the garden is right beside his dog house? Think about where the sun sets and how much sun certain areas get during the day.
Next, think about your outdoor décor.
Try to pair your garden to the theme of your outdoor area.
If you can, match the flowers to the table patterns, the potted plant designs and the sun umbrella style.
This can be a great decorating challenge.

Think about your Lifestyle

Are you outside a lot during the spring and summer months or do you usually work long hours and barely have enough energy to make dinner let alone tend to the plants on a daily basis? For those who spend their evening relaxing at home, enjoying weekend barbeques and lounging on the patio, it can be easy to simply incorporate a watering and fertilizing routine into your nightly or morning habits.
However, for those who work crazy hours, those who tend to forget easily and those who do not have a daily routine, watering the plants may escape you and thus, may cause your gardening hobby to flop.

Garden Care in All Seasons

Many people think that spring and summer are the two most important times for gardening.

However, although spring is great for harvesting and summer is great for blooming, it is also important to do your garden care in the fall to ensure a successful gardening season the next year around.

In the Fall
Fall is the time to prepare for your garden for its winter sleep.
Most people will start by cutting everything back and pruning your plants as much as you can.
Get rid of all the fallen or broken leaves and put them in the bin.
Make sure you till the soil during the fall season as well in preparation for the harsh winter.
Add some extra mulch to your perennials to keep them warm during the cold season. It’s also a good idea to add some compost or manure to the soil.
If you want to expand your garden during the fall, the best plants to buy are bulbs. You can plant them in the fall and they will blossom for spring.
As soon as the dreary days are behind you and the ice melts from the ground, your garden will sprout new beautiful bulbs in place.
Fall is also the best time to till any more soil if you plan on expanding your garden. Many people will wait until spring but it’s a good idea to prep the area for the New Year in the fall.

Time for Spring
Spring and garden care go hand in hand.
Most people will start their garden ritual as soon as the winter days are behind them.
Spring is the best time to get down and dirty, pulling and pruning your plants. Spring is also the time to plant new flowers, especially annuals and
perennials.
May is the best time for annual planting.
Make sure you also fertilize during the spring.

Summer of Garden Care
Summer is all about maintenance.
This means you need to pull out the weeds that grow, cut off the dead leaves, prune them back and constantly water your babies.
Summer time is the best time to spend in the garden.
Most people will water once or twice a week, more during those extra hot days.
Add fertilizer to the watering mixture twice a month as well.
Garden care is not something that can be done sporadically. It will take some time and patience, as well as trial and error, but, with the right garden care every season, your garden will continue to blossom and grow every year.

Garden Care for the New Neighbor

Ways to Make Yourself (and your garden) Known in your New Neighborhood

Are you new to the neighborhood and want to make a great first impression?
Why not show your sense of style with a great garden? Below we’ve listed four tips to garden care that will ensure your garden is the envy of the neighborhood and the talk of the town.

•Know what to expect from your surroundings.
Before you go ahead and rip out the old weeds and plan for a new garden in the front corner, it’s a good idea to watch how the sun rises and sets in your back and front yard.
You will need to know this in order to determine what flowers to get – sun lovers or shade seekers- and where to place your new garden.

•Get the whole family involved.
There is no better way to present your family to the neighbors than working on a garden together.
Get dad to mow the lawn and the kids to help plant the annuals while you work on weeding the overgrowth.
Your new neighbors will most likely come over to say hello and comment on your family orientated garden design.

•Show your true colors.
You cannot always judge a book by its cover but you are sometimes able to judge a person by their preference in garden care.
Are you a bright bubbly person? Why not plant some bulbs and colorful perennials just in time for summer? Are you more of a structured, organized person? Then make your garden bed straight forward, spacing out your plants to perfection.
Do you love to cook? Why not plant some herbs and vegetables in the back yard? •Be considerate of the neighbor’s needs.
If you neighbors have young kids, then perhaps it’s not a good idea to put your rose bushes right beside their fence as young children can easily prick themselves when playing in the yard.

Furthermore, consider asking your neighbors if they have any serious plant allergies, just in case.

Keep in mind that a great garden can actually add value to your home.
A beautiful front or backyard garden always look warm and inviting and, if you ever plan on selling your house, can also act as a welcome mat for a high offer.

A well kept garden is often a good clue that the house is in the same condition and can add thousands to your home value when (or if) you do decide to move on.

Garden Care for all Flower and Vegetable Life

All gardens are different and so are the plants, flowers and vegetable life that you choose to grow.

While some plants love the sun, others will only grow in shade.
While some plants need watering every day, others only need watering when they are young.

So how do you know what 7 type of care your garden plant life needs? Read on as we list four of the most common types of backyard gardens and tips for tender loving care.

• Shrubs:
shrubs that are well kept look great in any garden type.

However, the trick is to keep them pruned before they get away from you.
Shrubs need to be watered when they are small and growing but after the initial growth, shrubs can survive with just the rain from the sky.
To maintain shrubs you will need to cut them back but you will not need to worry about watering them constantly.

• Annuals:
annuals are seasonal flowers that come in a variety of colors and types.

Annuals need a lot of water and care as they have a very short life.
When it comes to caring for annuals, make sure you water them at least twice a week and every day during the hot months.
Sprinkle some fertilizer in with the water three to four times a month to keep them growing strong and healthy.

• Roses:
roses are one of the most common types of flower garden which is why they are in a category all their own.

Roses need about six hours of sunlight per day.
Make sure you place them somewhere where the sun shines.
To keep your roses looking their best, sprinkle some coffee ground or tea leaves in the soil around them.

The nutrients will soak into the roses for a more fragrant and colorful bloom.

• Vegetable gardens:
vegetable gardens are not only pretty but they can also save you the time, effort and money of hitting up your local produce section in the grocery store.
When you are planting a vegetable garden, give each vegetable a sufficient amount of room to grow.

Most vegetable gardens work the best when they are planted in rows.
Some of the fastest and easiest vegetables to grow include pumpkin and zucchini and other delicious and nutritious veggies that you can grow in your own backyard include carrots, beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, corn and cucumber.

Dogs Beware: Garden Care for the Dog Friendly Home

Sure, you love your dog.
He’s cute, he’s cuddly and he’s a bundle of rambunctious fun.

However, he also chooses the worst places to do his business.

That’s right, in your garden! But that’s not all.

Dog urine is harmful to the grass and can leave burnt patches all over the lawn.
So, how can you put an end to this horrible destruction of your lawn without forcing your dog to move away?


•First of all, if your dog is still a youthful trainable puppy, there is still hope! Keep him on a leash when putting him outside and guide him to the same peeing spot every time.
Try to create a potty area with wood chips or pea gravel as the surface.
Dogs tend to want to urinate on absorbent surfaces.
Another option is to purchase urine bags from your local vet which may teach your pup the right place to pee.

•Dog feces are another story.
Some dogs are embarrassed to drop anywhere and thus will choose a spot in the corner as their bathroom.
Other dogs will go whenever, wherever and even spread it around for your pleasure.
There are two ways to stop this: first, set up a designated doggy bathroom in a certain corner of your yard and reward the little guy anytime he go.
Do not allow him to go anywhere else.
You may need to monitor his activity for the first few weeks but eventually he will figure it out on his own.
Secondly, you can clean it up.
It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
Make it part of your daily morning routine before you have a cup of coffee or a shower.
Do a stroll around the yard with a pooper scooper and garbage bag and run a sprinkler on the lawn to remove the smell.

•Another annoying doggy habit is digging.
If your little pup is a digger, it’s time to put a stop to it now! Try putting a piece of steel or wood over the areas where your dog enjoys digging.
Choose a designated doggy bone area that is not your garden and burry bones there for him to find, or keep him occupied with other treats and games such as a kong.
And, if he does not stop his incessant digging perhaps it’s time for the doggy crate or maybe even doggy obedience school.
