Understanding your soil type is the foundation of successful gardening. Test your soil's pH and texture to choose the right plants and amendments.
Deep, infrequent watering encourages strong root systems. Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and prevent fungal diseases.
Match plants to their preferred light conditions. Observe how sunlight moves through your garden throughout the day before planting.
Learn your local frost dates and plant according to seasonal requirements. Some plants thrive in cool weather while others need warmth.
As temperatures warm and days lengthen, it's time to prepare your garden for the growing season ahead. Spring is ideal for both cool-season crops and getting a head start on warm-season favorites.
