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.
