For those willing to experiment, there are beautiful vines, which can be trained to climb around doors and trees as well as to hang from pots. Define walkways through your garden or gazebo.
It is important when choosing a plant to make certain that it is rated for your zone or for a zone lower in number than your own. When the plants are healthy, they store longer, taste better, are more resistant to insect attacks, and grow a lot more. Soil wetting agents such as Saturaid is a great idea, too.
The moisture helps palnts grow quickly. Select warm-season annuals, such as impatiens and marigolds, for ones that bloom from late spring to early fall. Placing your hedges in a straight line is important.
Most plants do not come back from water stress well; so do not allow your plants to wilt! Thoroughly water your plants, keep watering till you see water draining out of the bottom of the basket. Once you are ready to plant you will need to know which plants should be where. You start by slowly increasing the amount of time they are outdoors until you know they will survive.
Summer is almost here and now is a great time to start. It's never too late to have a beautiful garden.
