UNSPLASH
1. Give your garden one long weekly soak (about an inch of water)
Short, frequent waterings won't penetrate to the roots.
2. And avoid watering during the hottest part of the day
Unless you want to burn your plants. (Shoot for morning or dusk instead.)
3. If transporting plants, do so after a rainfall
Damp soil will keep the roots from cracking.
4. "Insulate" your home with shrubs and bushes
Planting strategically along your facade can create a natural wind barrier...and save you money on heating costs.
5. Be careful not to overmow your grass
Never cut shorter than two inches: It'll weaken the grass and make your lawn susceptible to weeds.
6. Assess how much sunlight your blooms will get before you plant them
Most plants need six hours of sun to thrive.
7. Prune spring trees (like lilac and magnolia) right after they finish blooming
If you wait too long, you’ll dissuade next year’s buds.
8. Keep herbs separate from other plantings
Mint, in particular, is highly invasive.
9. Strip lower leaves on vegetable plants regularly
This will prevent fungal diseases from encroaching.
10. Stake your tall perennials (like peonies and hollyhocks) early
It’s pretty hard to do so once they’ve taken off.
11. And a reminder on perennials: They need three years to mature
Practice patience and you’ll reap the rewards, people.
12. Deadhead your flowering plants vigilantly
Remove wilted blooms to tell your plant to make more of 'em.
13. Improve your soil by working in a few inches of compost
Manure and peat moss work great too.
14. Tackle spring plantings on cloudy days
New plants take best to cool soil.
15. Use broth from cooking veggies to water your plants
"Veggie soup" is the best plant food.
16. Broken terra-cotta pots? Place their shards around plants like so
This will keep critters from tearing up your geraniums.
17. And edge your flowerbeds with rocks
To help discourage grasses and weeds from taking over.
18. Line container gardens with a thin layer of gravel
Proper drainage is key here, people.
19. Plant blooming herbs to attract butterflies
Like lavender and beebalm.
20. But make sure you have evergreens like boxwood and heath too
You want your garden to look good in every season, right?
21. Holes for bulbs should be two to three times as deep as the bulb itself
They need room to grow, after all.
