Avoiding Pitfalls of the Summer Garden

Here is a common pitfall some gardeners make when planning and designing their summer garden. It is failure to consider the long-term impact of the plants and flowers you choose for your garden. If you don't want to spend all your time tending to your garden, then it makes little sense to buy plants and flowers that, by nature, require lots of time and effort. Choose plants according to your summer garden needs and not just because you think they will look beautiful adorning your lawn.It's time well spent when you make the effort towards creating a solid plan for your summer garden based on personal tastes and how much time you want to spend on maintaining your garden to keep it looking great.When you take the time to plan your garden, you will discover that you will enjoy it much more than if you just throw some plants in the ground and hope they will survive. One thing to remember is that you can create a summer garden that requires less maintenance, than others, but understand that there is no such thing as a no maintenance garden. Expect to spend some time and effort keeping your garden looking beautiful and healthy. Once you have planned your summer garden, then you can focus on the things you want to plant, where you want to plant them, and the needs of your plants. Next, it is time to really dig in and get your hands dirty!

Pitfalls of The Summer Garden

We all love to create a summer garden that's a show stopper. However, what we don't consider are the things to avoid when planting our summer garden.If you avoid those pitfalls from others mistakes, then the results for you will be much more successful in the long run.

Landscaping for the benefit of the neighbors is something we are all guilty of at one time or another. If you spend alot of time indoors, then plant your garden where you can easily view it from within the comfort of your home. In other words, garden for self enjoyment and place your garden where you can enjoy the fruits of your labor everyday!

Keep your garden on scale with your lawn to avoid too much clutter or so it doesn't look like its under maintained. Try keeping everything in your garden in perspective and appropriate to the size of you lawn and the climate of the area in which you are planting that summer garden.

Another point to consider is avoiding the lack of planning when planting that summer garden. Thinking through what you want and where you want that summer garden is very important. Without a good plan from which to build on will result in the failure of your garden. Invest the biggest portion of your energy and time to the planning stage of your summer garden. You will be rewarded with not just a beautiful summer garden, but a unique design too!
