Every spring, people dust off their trowels and take out the gloves, getting ready for another gardening season.  They often convince themselves that that this year it will be different.  You will have beautiful flowers, an awesome display of colors and the whole neighborhood will pause in your front lawn to admire
your handiwork.

Does it have to be an illusion?  No way.

The reality is, you can start planning and preparing your garden at any time and expect to have a beautiful garden to enjoy all year long.  It just takes a little planning and prep work and you’ll have the garden of your dreams.

One important step that some people tend to forget is that you have to plan the “perfect garden” for you and your family.   Take the time to measure-out the space you have set up as your garden area and give it a second and third look.   Evaluate the soil and even test it to see if you may need to add some organic fertilizer or nutrients.

Some other questions might be:  Does the space you chose get enough sunlight?  How is the irrigation?

It doesn’t matter whether your area has the best of all of this, just make sure it is what you need for your particular garden planning.  Some plants need little water, not a lot of sunlight and tough soil.  You just need to be aware of this, as you will want pick plants that are suitable to your environment.

Talk with people at your local greenhouse about setting up a garden you like. They can offer suggestions as to how to structure your garden and to put out your plants so you get to enjoy.  You’ll certainly want to be able to take care of them easily.  Obviously, some plants are more maintenance free than others.

It only takes a little bit of prep work and a little expert help and you’ll be on your way to having the sort of garden you always wanted.  With a little planning, you’ll be ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor all year long.
