When it comes to planting your simple home garden, you likely have a lot of questions. After you planned your plots, sketched your layouts, and considered your natural terrain, you are still left with a very important aspect of the gardening experience: flower or vegetation choices. We’ve already covered the importance of considering your climate before purchasing the plants for your garden.
What else should you consider before selecting your plants?
Pick Your Plants with Prudence
When you are selecting plants for your garden, there are two major questions you should ask yourself: How long will this plant last? Is this a good price? There are a variety of plants from which you can choose. Will you go Annual or Perennial? There are tidbits on each plant type you should consider before you purchase either.
Since Perennials last for more than two growing seasons, they are an excellent plant choice that can save you money and time. If you decide to grow Annuals in your garden, then it can be more economically conscious to grow them from seeds. Starting with seeds will allow you to save even more. You can easily germinate your seeds with potting soil and plenty of sunlight.
