How to plant in the garden

When planting your plants, it is important to place them at a height of two to four inches higher than the soil around them. Never bury the roots. This will allow the roots to reach the earth's upper layers. The top of the root ball may dry out during hot summers. Make sure you monitor the moisture level and water accordingly. Plants that are too close can become susceptible to crown rot.

Regular watering is essential for plants after they are planted. You need to inspect for signs of stress, and make sure the soil remains moist. Also, you should be attentive to their health and whether they are suffering from irrigation or drought problems. If necessary, water them daily for the first few weeks. If you are planting seeds, water them every day to prevent bird damage and protect them from birds. If you don’t have time or the energy to water them regularly, fertilize them once every week.

It is vital to properly water shrubs as they require consistent moisture for their establishment. You should water your soil regularly between waterings. This will allow them to develop strong roots. However, the care of shrubs depends on their type. Some shrubs may require staking to ensure they spread evenly. Others may need trimming to shape them. It doesn't matter which type of shrub it is, water them regularly to maintain their health.

Once you've selected the right plants, it's time to plant them. Once you have selected the type of plant you want, it is time to determine if they need pruning. Evergreens are easy to prune, so be sure to select the right size plants for you garden. But they can become unruly and will not respond to pruning. Also, be aware of when they are young. Firs and spruces need to be pruned during the first summer. You can prune them further in July after the new growth has matured. Pines, spruces and other spruces will not grow dormant leaves and can't replace damaged branches.

Before you plant your plants, consider the climate. It is important to take into account the temperature, sun exposure, and type of soil. If you live in an area that is dry, you should ensure your area has a permeable pavement. This allows rainwater to drain through. Also, if it's sunny, you can plant in the shade of a forest or on a cloudy morning.

You can use nasturtiums in containers, hanging baskets, or for the garden. They're easy to grow and can provide ground cover as well as help suppress weeds. While they may not bloom as often in the shade, they are more likely to self-seed. Sweet peas don't require a lot of space and can be grown in a container or border with sun. There are many sweet varieties, including those that last year, available.
