You can take organic gardening as a hobby, or as a science. The following suggestions will guide you on how to be a very successful organic gardener.
Shelter your deciduous shrubs. Cold weather is very hard on these tender shrubs, and potted shrubs should be shielded and protected. Tie together the tops, and then use a sheet or blanket to cover the wigwam loosely. People sometimes use plastic to wrap their plants, but plastic can cause the plants to rot because it impedes air circulation.
A great gardening tip to use is to always select types of plants that are more likely to produce a high yield. Frequently, a hybrid plant will produce a higher yield because of its disease-resistant properties.
Brighten your garden with biennials and annuals. By utilizing quick-growing biennials and annuals, not only will you be brightening up your flower bed, you can also alter its look each season and each year. In an area that is sunny, they make good plants to place in the gaps found between shrubs and perennials. Some flowers you can use are rudbekia, petunias, cosmos, marigolds, or sunflowers.
For showy flowers throughout the spring and summer, plant plenty of bulbs. Bulbs are one of the easiest plants to grow and are hardy perennials that return each year. The types of bulbs you use will determine the time of year your flowers will bloom, giving you the pleasure of blooms from spring to summer, if you plant them right.
