Flower Gardening: A Wonderful Hobby
from: Lawn and Garden Magic
What better hobby can there be in all the world than flower gardening. Not only are flowers beautiful to look at, their colorful display enhances the beauty of your how and landscape for all to see. Even if your not blessed with having a green thumb, you can learn the tips and tricks you need to produce something of true beauty. Be patient and work your way through the process of learning and you'll soon enough be rewarded with the fruits of your labor, along with lots of health exercise and time well spend under the shining heat of the sun. Once you get started with your new hobby, you'll be amazed by all the different species sprouting up all around you.
Before starting your flower garden, you should initially do some planning. This is is where you consider a flower's life span and how long you'd like it to survive. If you choose annuals, they will thrive for one season only and then then die when the season changes. This means you'll have to plan annuals in the ground every year, however, the advantage here is that you have the freedom to alter the layout each new season. Perennials, on the other hand, survive throughout the winter and return in full bloom in the spring and summer. You may find this more convenient since once they're planted, they'll bloom year after year without a lot of extra work. However, this means you'll be able to make few changes to the original landscape unless you uproot your perennials and move the around.
How your flowers grow depends largely on the climate where you live. It's best to choose plants that survive locally. If you're in a a tropical area, don't plant flowers that will only survive during winter because they'll be looking for cold weather. If you're not sure where to get started, there's lots of help available online, at your local garden centre of by asking friends, family or neighbours who have some gardening experience. Something you should pay attention to is the sun and shade exposure. There different varieties of flowers have different requirements. For example, a plant that needs more exposure to sunlight shouldn't be kep in an area the is shaded most of the time.
Height is another consideration when flower gardening. When you've purchased your transplants, they'll likely be the same length but at have a variety of maturity. So don't plant a Bougainvillea in front of a Touch-Me-Not, since it's a very healthy shrub that will spread from left and right while the latter remains stationary. This means the Touch-Me-Not won't be seen. So you'll want to place taller plants at the back of the beds so they won't block the view of the shorter ones.
