When spring blooms and summer is approaching, thoughts about the garden usually appear. Maybe it’s anxiety about the weeds having to take over last year and the fear that it will come again or thoughts about how this year’s planting will go? In any case, below are tips and advice regarding gardening that will hopefully make the whole thing a little easier to deal with. Let’s take a look at it.
Consider the nature around you
Looking at your garden and the nature around it is one of the best tips for success. Then you know when it’s time to start doing different things. If tussilago has sprouted and the frost has come out of the ground, it is time to plant trees and shrubs. When the white anemone blooms, it is good to start raking and cleaning, but until then, just sit down and have coffee. The soil is too wet, which can cause you to tear up too much once the rake is in the ground.
Animals in the garden
It is even now in the time of the white anemone that you have the best chance of getting away with the mother snails. They are still small but big enough for you to discover. By fighting the snails now, you avoid the big work then.
In addition to the mother snails, many people have problems with deer in their garden. They eat everything in the flower beds and vegetable garden, which is not always so appreciated. But there are tricks to avoid. Setting up a fence does not have to take that long, choose a simple fence and keep the deer away.
That eternal cleansing
You do not have to lie on your knees and clear weeds every day, but it makes it easier to clear weeds once in the spring when the weeds are in bloom. If you clean early, they will not have time to freeze.
If you have potted plants at home in the city, you can take them out to the country. If there is still some space in the car, it is a great way to decorate quickly in the country.
Another way to avoid weeds is to plan already at the planting of the plants. Put the plants quite close together but not too close, they must have room to grow. When there is not so much bare soil, it becomes difficult for the weeds to grow and that means less cleaning for you.
Water infrequently and stop fertilizing
The fact that there is more soil in large pots is probably something you already know, but it also means that you do not have to water as often. Invest in the larger pots and fill them, but a lot of soil so the plants thrive well. Then collect all the pots in one place and the flower beds in another when you structure in the garden, it will be much easier when watering.
Walking barefoot in the grass is like balm for the soul, you do not have to mow the grass so often ignore the fertilizer instead. If you ignore fertilizing, the grass does not grow so fast, a few flowers in the grass have never damaged it, it is even quite beautiful and summery to view. Pull out the lawnmower once a week and take a break from mowing the rest of the day.
The rose bushes
Most people visit their farms and cottages mainly in July because they have a lot of plants in bloom and the holidays are approaching. Old-fashioned roses are a real classic and bring back many childhood memories. A nice favorite is’ Mme Plantier, a white rose bush that smells fantastic and takes you back to those sweet summer moments as a child. Plant the roses freely in places with a lot of sun.
Fruits in the garden
A vine is needed at every summer place. They are very easy to care for and you have fruit to harvest in the autumn. Ziliga is a kind of vine that manages up to zone 5 without problems. You can place it in the middle of the garden and let it climb on a plant support. In this way, it also contributes with privacy protection.
If you have a fruit tree in the garden, I can congratulate you. You do not need to feel stressed about the fruit being wasted, it will be food for birds and other animals instead.
