I am going to do a a garden design today named Mary's garden in dedication to Mary the mother of Christ.It is a nice little theme garden that involves all annuals. I may make one for myself this spring, simple design and basic materials and plants. Also an interesting theme to say the least.
Choose a location for your garden that has at least 5 hours a
day of sun.
Prepare the garden soil with sand to make it porous for deep
penetration of water and air; humus to make it spongy to retain
water; and fertilizer to nourish plant growth.
After planting, firm soil around plant roots; water; then shade
several days to prevent wilting.
Sprinkle garden with as much water as soil will absorb without
forming puddles. Allow some drying from the top down to induce deep
root growth and to draw in fresh air needed for soil processes and
root vigor. Then re-water thoroughly, etc.
Remove any spent blooms and weeds, and loosen soil with a
cultivating fork if it becomes packed.
For container Mary Gardens, trim the plants back to keep their
blooms low.
That is it for today.Hope you enjoyed. Happy Gardening
Tanya
