Introduction

Spring is a great time to start gardening, but there are some things you can do to make sure your garden has the best chance of success. Here are 5 steps for ensuring a successful spring planting:

1) Determine Your Zone

To determine if you are in the right zone, check out the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to see if you are in the right area. If you are not sure, you can call your local county extension office and let them know what type of garden you plan on planting (vegetable, flowering, etc.) and what your climate is like where you live. They will be able to give a better idea as to whether or not certain plants will grow well in that area or even if they need to be taken inside during hard freezes.

If it turns out that some of your plants will not do well in that geographical location or climate zone then try looking for other plant varieties that are more suitable for growing in areas with cold winters so no one has an excuse anymore!

2) Observe Your Garden

Two) Observe Your Garden

Check the garden for the following:

• Frost damage. You may have heard that springtime frosts are not as big of an issue in spring gardens as they are in summer gardens, but this isn’t always true. If you live in an area with a short growing season and/or cold temperatures at night, you could still suffer from frost damage to your plants. Check for signs of browned leaves and “ice crystals” on leaves (this looks like tiny white dots). If you do find signs of frost damage, try to salvage what’s left of the plant by trimming off damaged parts plus about an inch around them, then compost them if possible.
• Pests or diseases. In springtime especially there can be more pests hanging around than usual because their natural predators aren’t around yet—look out for aphids, spider mites and other insects that might be eating away at your plants’ leaves! Also look out for fungus diseases like powdery mildew on cauliflower or blackspot on roses; while they’re not necessarily harmful to humans they can cause major problems when it comes time harvest time because they make food less tasty (and sometimes even poisonous). If something looks wrong with one part or another part of your garden it may just be due something getting munched up by wildlife–but if it’s happening everywhere then consider calling an expert instead so they can tell

3) Clean & Prep Your Garden

• Clean & Prep Your Garden

Now that you’ve got your garden ready for planting, it’s time to do some cleaning! Make sure to remove any weeds or grass from the area. Make sure you have properly prepared the soil by removing rocks and debris (rocks can be removed by using a pick axe). You should also remove dead plants, leaves, diseased plants, or those that have died, but are still standing in the ground.

4) Prep a Cold Frame

When it comes to the cold frame, you have a lot of options. The most common ways are as follows:

• A greenhouse
• Sunroom
• Grow room

5) Start Seeds Indoors

It’s that time of year again! The weather outside is getting warmer and you can feel your plants starting to wake up. You want to plant a garden but what should you do?

What if I told you there is an easy way to grow your own plants without having to buy anything or spend any money? This may sound too good to be true, but the truth is that it’s not only possible, but also very simple.

If you’re interested in planting something simple like lettuce or spinach then this method will work just fine for your needs. If however you are looking for something more complex such as tomatoes then this is probably not going to work as well for you because they need some special care when growing indoors that most people aren’t willing/able (because they don’t have access) provide them with outdoors where conditions are much better suited for their growth needs than inside our homes which lack proper lighting conditions needed for optimal production times per day needed by these particular types of plants before flowering stage begins its final run before harvesting becomes possible (this process takes place over several months depending on how long each variety takes).

Spring is around the corner, but there’s still time to prepare your garden for its first planting of the year.

If you live in an area where it gets cold in winter and the ground freezes, wait until after April 1st before tilling up your soil (don’t forget to water it during this time). If you don’t have that luxury, consult a local farmer or gardening expert online. The experts at Gardener Direct are happy to help as well!

Now that you know when to start preparing your garden, let’s talk about how…
