Brighten up your flower beds with annuals and biennials. These fast growing flowers let you change how your flower bed looks season to season. Use these beautiful flowers to line your driveway, surround trees and shrubs, and for decorative hanging baskets. Some examples include sunflowers, marigolds, petunias, hollyhocks, cosmos, and rudbeckia.
Plants that climb can hide fences and walls. Climbing foliage is a great way to disguise unsightly features on your property, sometimes in the span of just one season. You can also train climbers to cover arbors and other things that you want covered, and they will even grow right through trees and shrubs. Sometimes the plants will require being tied to supports, but some climbers will attach themselves naturally. Trusted variations of climbers are honeysuckle, jasmine, clematis, wisteria and climbing roses.
Plants need ample amounts of CO2 to reach their maximum growth. The majority of plants thrive when they are exposed to a high level of carbon dioxide. A greenhouse is the best way to create an environment rich in CO2. Higher CO2 levels can provide optimal conditions for growing plants.
When you’re out and about in the garden, particularly in the fall, keep an eye out for sink bugs. These bugs like to eat beans, peppers, tomatoes, and many kinds of fruits. Decrease their presence as much as possible to avoid them wreaking havoc in your garden.
In a place that’s dark, pre-soak the seeds. Put some seeds (a small amount) in a container that isn’t too large for the plant you’ll be growing. Fill that container with water, almost to the top. This hydrates your seeds and jump-starts their growth. This improves the chances of successful plant development.
