Fall is the time to spruce up your
garden. If you are not sure how or when the right time to do it is, don’t worry
we got you. Keep reading to find out some fall planting tips and tricks that
will help you make your garden something you are proud of.
Timing is Key
New planting is delicate. Therefore,
harsh weather conditions will cause the plants fail. They will not grow, leaving
you to have to buy all new ones and start again. Making sure you watch the
weather is key. The time to plant is from late September to November. So, you
still have time. Gather all your plants and vegetables and start!
Bigger isn’t Always Better
When going to purchase your plants
or vegetables bigger is not always better. The smaller 4-inch pots are way
better. They tend to be less expensive and easier to manage. With all the rain
they will eventually catch up to the size of a bigger plant with time.
Read the Plant Tags
Another important thing to note
when going to plant is reading the plant tags. The tags tell you how large the
plant will grow or if the plant grows best in shade or sunlight. This is
important for you to know before bringing the plant home. Take the extra 5-10 minutes
to read the tag so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Plan to Water
Do not just rely on the rain to
water your plants. Plan to water them on your own. Set a time every day or
every other day to go outside and water the plants. If your schedule is really
busy, you can put in an inground system that automatically water it for you.
Grant them Room to Grow
Lastly, give them room to grow. You
do not want to plant all your plants and vegetables too close to each other. IF
you do that they will not grow properly and not give you the results you are
looking for. Giving them room to grow will allow them to reach their fullest
potential and grow to your liking.
