Selecting Plants & Seeds (Flowers)

Before selecting plants and seeds for your garden, consider the amount of time you want to spend, colors you want to see, an area you want to dress up or hide. Then consider the amount of sun the plant will receive and if it will thrive in the area you want to plant it.

Selecting Trees, Shrubs and Ornamentals

Once planted, trees and shrubs will be around for decades, so choose wisely. Be sure to select trees and shrubs that will grow well in your climate. Your local nursery can provide you with the information you need. Choose plants with healthy, vigorous top-growth that have a good root system with no signs of disease, pests or damage.

Selecting Vegetable Plants & Seeds

Growing your own vegetables is one of the most rewarding activities of the summer. It may appear to be a daunting project, but if you start out slowly, you'll be harvesting your own food before you know it. Regular feeding, weeding and watering plus plenty of sun is really all you need.

Take steps now to protect your plants

Even we southern homeowners look forward to summer. True, our southern "winters" are much milder than those up north; however, we always appreciate the warmer temperatures of spring! If you haven't been much involved in your yard or garden this winter, now is the time to flex those green thumbs and get ready for spring. A little planning and work now will get your plants off to a good start!

What are some tips you can give me on composting?

Things that help speed up the composting process are: shredding the materials (smaller particle size), mixing nitrogen (green stuff) and carbon (brown stuff) material about half and half, keeping the pile moist (decomposing microbes need moisture), but not too wet (anaerobic decomposition produces foul odors), and finally turning the pile periodically to mix outer material into the center of the pile. Additionally, make the pile large enough to heat up well (4 feet in diameter is about right), and don't include dairy products, grease or meat as these tend to attract unwanted visitors to the pile.
