What To Do To Winterize Your Garden

Landscaping Garden

Many people think that once the climate begins getting cooler and the leaves begin to drop, it's time to set aside the garden equipment and wait till the following springtime to work on the backyard once again. Completely wrong. Winter season is definitely an essential time for you to take care of your garden's health and ensure yourself a great harvest for the coming year. It may seem that it could take a extended time to get ready your back garden, but the reality is that it requires less than 1 day to get ready a person's back garden for the approaching winter season.

Once the night time temperature drop to below forty-five degrees Fahrenheit for longer than 4 nights in a row, or frost is predicted for your neighborhood (generally around late Oct or even Nov) you realize it is time to start preparing your back garden. You need to start by analyzing your backyard garden layout, check out which plants grew nicely during the past season, and which plants and flowers didn't flourish. Autumn is a great time for you to determine which plants and flowers will stay in your backyard the coming year, and which ones should go.

It's also a great time to determine which new plants and flowers you would like to grow. In order to help to make your backyard much more vibrant and healthy, make sure simply to plant the more hardy plants during the autumn to enable them to endure the wintertime. A few plants which will do great getting planted in autumn are: rudbeckia, Aster Novi-belgii, Anemone Japonica, panicle hyandea, endive, escarole, and Brussels sprouts.

You'll find many of these and much more in garden publications or even the local gardening shop.

Once you have completed this you need to start cleaning your back garden.

Start by taking out unwanted weeds that might have popped up, and raking fallen leaves. Unwanted weeds and decaying leaves can carry bugs and diseases that may end up being bad for your back garden. It's also wise to free your backyard of spent annual vegetation, and pick your veggies along with other plant life that can't endure the wintertime climate. Right after autumn has come and gone, the leaves will be off your trees and shrubs and you can begin to see the rotten limbs. Cutting off the undesirable limbs from the trees and shrubs is not essential to your back gardens health, but may well help down the road by not dropping limbs on the vegetation and not blocking too much of the sun's rays.

For those who have younger trees and shrubs you should look at wrapping all of them and supporting them with stakes to help them endure the wintertime wind and cold. Placing thick mulch over your back garden for the winter season can be quite a helpful method to safeguard plants and flowers from unexpected temperature changes and heavy snowfall. For thick mulch it is possible to use about 5 in . of shredded bark, pine needles, or a number of many other materials. You need to be cautious never to mulch too soon, because a few bugs may still be alive and capable of taking shelter inside it for the winter season.

When you are done with your gardening equipment you need to thoroughly clean all of them and make certain they are inside a secure location where they won't rust and you know exactly where they will be for the coming year. Just before the winter season arrives it is best to set out slug repellent, as slugs are among the worst bugs to have inside your back garden. For those who have a swimming pool or water feature inside your back garden, make sure to remove any fish which you have inside them and bring all of them inside. There is nothing sadder than a fish frozen inside a block of ice.

Finding the right Plant life for the Back garden

Landscaping Gardens

Often many of us purchase plant life on impulse then find there's nowhere within the back garden that actually fits them. Before choosing plants very carefully look at your back garden to determine just how much sunlight and shade it will get, if the garden soil is well drained or water logged and whether your area is sheltered or windswept. You will then be prepared to go and purchase the very best plants for your situation; shade-loving plants for those sheltered areas, sun-lovers for the warm places, drought-resistant plants for the dry locations which can be either sun-drenched or shaded, and swamp plants for the poorly-drained parts.


But wait! Test out your garden soil initially, to find out the actual pH level of your garden soil and what type of nutrients you have to include, if any. Is the soil acid or alkaline? The majority of plants favor garden soil that's somewhat acidic, but there are several that have to have alkaline garden soil to grow. It is possible to alter the soil's pH level, but it is easier to merely plant for the garden soil you might have.


Congratulations, you are prepared to plant. Well - practically. Are you going to plant in groups or singly? If you purchase 'one of everything' a garden might seem rather spotty. Group plantings tend to be organized, unified and you may vary the color for interest.


Prior to planting out, put your selected plants around the backyard bed in their containers to determine the way they will appear. Re-arrange all of them until you are happy. Group plants in sets of threes or fives generally looks much better than planting in groups of even amounts. Make sure that you have an intriguing mixture of colors and textures of plants. Taller plants ought to go to the back, or the center if your backyard is going to be seen equally from every side. Attempt to keep the plant life far from trees and shrubs. The roots of trees tend to be fiercely competitive and will grab all of the nutrients and moisture intended for your blossoms.


The best color scheme is an excellent method to maintain the harmony inside your back garden. Think of the color of the blossoms when they're flowering. A few colors might clash with others, but can nonetheless be grown side-by-side if they have a different flowering period. Foliage color can also be important. Many flower plants have silver, gray or even purplish leaves which is equally as appealing as the flower. Which means that they're still appealing well beyond the flowering season and so have got additional worth.
