A Balanced Blossoming Garden Year Round
Quite often new gardeners make the mistake of stock piling their gardens all at once. Usually only planting what they have seen in bloom on their neighbours property, or at the local nursery at the time of their intitial purchase. This leaves the garden ready to flourish in one season, but lacking in others.
A better, more balanced approach is to use the one third method. Segment the garden, and plant for different seasons. This will give you colour at every time available within your climate. This does not mean using the garden centre, or neighbour as a guide is wrong. It just means that you need to visit, or observe, in each season you wish to have blossoms, and plant accordingly.
