The Best Way to Give Your Garden a Jump Start

One of the most interesting things I have recently heard of for gardeners is plant-by-number. Surely, we all remember the good old childrens paint books that guided you on what colour paint to place where on the picture. They were usually given to us right after we had grasped the art of colouring within the lines.

Anyway, the same approach has been applied to gardening. Now, I do recognize that for some gardeners this is close to blasphemy. But let me gently remind you of your early days in the garden. While you may not care to admit it, or you may have banished all memories of it from your pretty little head, there is a near certainty that you had some trials and tribulations at some point.

So, this plant-by-number idea should be valued for what it is worth. It is a tool to assist the inexperienced in making good choices. This, as we all recognize, will do wonders for the productivity and self-esteem of those just venturing into the world of gardening.
