I know my editor doesn’t like overstating but a multi colored spring flower garden is such a delight. After those dark winter months the sunshine and the flowers the energy of spring are really contagious.
Spring Flowers, most of them bulbs are planted in late autumn just before the
first frost. Bulb Flowers require a period of dormancy and a frost. If you where
too late last autumn you can substitute these in your refrigerator. The most
popular spring bulbs (there are autumn flowering as well are:
- Tulips
- Daffodils or Narcissi
- Gladiolas
- Hyacinths
From seeds you can grow:
- Cosmos
- Violets
- Marigolds
- Daisies
Starting Seeds indoors and transplanting them to your garden is a great
and cheap way to have the best quality plants around.
Spring is a time of renewed energy and cleanup. We start anew and make great
plans for our garden. Now is the time to actually act on your idea to have a
pond, perhaps already a bit late but plant the fruit tree you were thinking
about last summer.
Have the patio cleaned up, and perhaps get some new furniture. Your garden and patio are the places where you revitalize, so make them into places where you love to be and where you ”recharge the battery”.
Talking about the patio, have you ever thought of the idea of placing plant containers. It’s lovely and make you easily grow exotics like:
Figs,
Ginger or Pineapples, or more practical
Herbs. Your containers make a perfect natural
border between patio and garden.
