Essential Gardening Tips

🌱

Know Your Soil

Understanding your soil type is the foundation of successful gardening. Test your soil's pH and texture to choose the right plants and amendments.

💧

Water Wisely

Deep, infrequent watering encourages strong root systems. Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and prevent fungal diseases.

☀️

Right Plant, Right Place

Match plants to their preferred light conditions. Observe how sunlight moves through your garden throughout the day before planting.

🕒

Timing is Everything

Learn your local frost dates and plant according to seasonal requirements. Some plants thrive in cool weather while others need warmth.
