Elaborate and complicated benches are fun but plans are an optional feature for this low-tech, natural look, anything from a log or lumber to stones or gravel and cement, anything that isn t necessarily symmetrical is perfect. Knowing a few of the basic concepts can decrease substantially the frustration in growing in your garden.
Hedges are also a great way to hide unsightly areas around your property. When the plants are healthy, they store longer, taste better, are more resistant to insect attacks, and grow a lot more. In addition to drought tolerance, these perennials were selected with an eye to soil-quality requirements.
Plan early enough in the season what you want to bring in when the temperatures start to fall. Instead of beans, grow cucumbers, morning glories, love-in-a-puff, mini pumpkins, or gourds. Sometimes just using the strength of the water hose will get the little bugs away.
It is easy to forget that one thing such as a simple nectar plant can affect everything in your world. It's springtime, and time to get started.
