Right plant, right place Match plant needs with your garden spaces that will enable them to thrive. Struggling plants are susceptible to pests and diseases. Keep sowing and transplanting With attention to differing variety choices, our mild weather throughout the year affords us to repeat sowing and transplanting for consecutive harvesting of edibles and ornamentals. Space plants closely Be aware of each plant’s mature spread, and plant so individual plant’s foliage will barely touch. This enables shading of the soil to discourage sprouting weeds. Choose appropriate watering tools Match watering devices and plants so soil areas are moistened so plant roots can be satiated wherever they grow. Water deeply Be aware of differing plants’ root depths and water as deeply as each plant roots will grow. Water only as frequently as needed to keep soil barely moist. Visit plants frequently Monitoring how your garden grows enables you to catch and treat problems early, and to harvest at many stages to determine which timings you like the best. |
