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!
