TIP! If you would like to have flowers in your garden that last through the spring and summer seasons, plant bulbs. Since bulbs are easy to grow and resistant to poor weather conditions, they will grow without fail year after year.

You will need to properly lay sod. Before laying the sod, have your soil prepared. Break the soil into fine tilth and make sure you remove any weeds as well. Compact the soil gently but firmly to be certain that it is indeed flat. Be sure the soil is thoroughly moist. Staggered rows with offset joints is the best way for the sod to be laid out. You want the sod to end up as a flat and even surface. If there are any gaps in between the sod pieces, then you can fill these in with some soil. Once it is in place, the sod requires frequent watering for at least two weeks. This is usually the amount of time it takes for the sod to grow roots, making it ready to grow seamlessly into place.

TIP! If you’re growing veggies in the garden, they need to be in a spot that lets them get about six hours of sun daily. Almost all vegetables need this much sunlight, so that they can grow correctly and in a shorter amount of time.

It is important that you give your plants the chance to gradually adjust to the change in temperature and conditions, or you risk shocking them. Put the plants outside in the sun for one to two hours in the beginning. Slowly, day after day, you can leave your plants outside for a little longer. If you do this correctly, the plants should be able to make their final move at the end of a week’s time.

TIP! As the weather turns colder, it is important to prepare your sensitive shrubs for the change. Cold weather significantly affects these plants, especially if they are in pots.
