We’ll know what flowers and vegetables will flourish in our area. Annuals are planted every year, so it doesn’t matter for them. But perennials and shrubs need to be suited to our specific zone. We also don’t want to put anything in the ground too soon. For example, peas should be planted when the soil is cool in early to mid-spring. But heat lovers such as tomatoes and peppers can’t be planted until the soil warms up in late spring, otherwise, we risk exposing them to a late frost.

Prep your garden for spring. After a long winter, it’s time for a serious cleanup. First, rake up sticks from the lawn. Remove leaves and debris from your planting beds, and cut back any dead perennials. Trim broken branches on shrubs, but don’t get too eager to prune them into shape.

Nothing’s more amazing than snacking on a freshly-picked tomato that we grew our-self or actually stopping to smell the spring flowers. On so many levels, gardening is good for us. The activity can help boost mood and reduce stress and anxiety. Even if you’ve never grown a single flower or vegetable, it’s easier than you think. After all, we do the preliminary stuff and Mother Nature does the rest. If we don’t have a yard, container gardening is just as satisfying—plus, it’s often a better choice anyhow if your soil isn’t ideal. And when we follow our best gardening tips and tricks.

There’s no better time to visit a garden centre than during a cloudburst. Nurseries are less crowded, lines are shorter and staff members are more available to answer our questions. Once the rain eases, go out and pull weeds—even clumps of crabgrass and deep-rooted dandelions pull easily out of wet soil.

Keep garden tools handy, Stash a spare set of hand tools and garden twine in a waterproof container in our garden. That way, when we spot weeds, broken rose canes or a stem that needs tying up, we won’t have to run to the garage or potting shed for supplies.

One of the best gardening tips that landscapers can offer is to shrink the size of our lawn. We’ll be amazed at how much time we’ll save on lawn chores simply by reducing the grass-covered areas in our yard. Combine trees, shrubs, boulders and decorative mulches to fashion eye-catching, maintenance-free island beds in our front and back yards.

Maintaining a beautiful garden is a lot of hard work, but we can labour more efficiently—and put less strain on the purse strings—with these brilliant gardening tips.
Plant vegetables and herbs near our back or front door. Since we’ll see them often, we’ll remember to keep them watered. And they’ll be nearby when we need dinner fixings.

When we can’t get anything to grow beneath trees or along fences, set up a multitier container garden in the shady location. Plant shade-loving perennials and compact shrubs in appropriately sized containers; set the containers on stands in varying heights. Or use simple green pots that blend into the background, and won’t compete with the flowering show.

Start our garden with good soil. Work in compost, manure or dried peat moss for nutrient-rich planting beds. Amended soil is lighter, drains well, makes for easy weeding and allows roots to establish themselves more quickly.
