Preparing
The Flower Beds
We must
remember to distinguish the two uses of flowers, their part in a
landscape design or picture, and their part in a bed or separate garden
for bloom. We now consider the flower-bed proper; and we include in the
flower-bed such "foliage" plants as coleus, celosia, croton, and canna,
although the main object of the flower-bed is to produce an abundance
of flowers.
If you
don’t have room for a full garden, having flower beds along your
walkways, or in a windowsill pot are great ways to add some beauty to
your property, and can also be a place where you can grow a few choice
vegetables or herbs. Flower beds lining a walkway are only limited by
your imagination, and can be easier to care for than a full-blown
garden. You will need a lot of the same tools, but the time you spend
keeping flower beds beautiful will be substantially less than a full
garden would be.
It is well
to add a little commercial fertilizer each fall or spring. Although it
is well to emphasize making the ground fertile, it must be
remembered that it can easily be made too rich for such plants as
we desire to keep within certain stature and for those from which we
wish an abundance of bloom in a short season.
When
planning your garden design
make the
flower-beds as broad as possible. When choosing plants for your flower
beds, remember to consider how much space you have before you go about
and buy. If you only have six inches of planting space, you don’t want
plants that will spread out over a two-foot space. In this case, you
may want to buy some plants for your flower beds that will grow up
instead of out, and then get some greens that will fill out the space
below. If you get spreading plants, you are going to spend a lot of
time trimming down your flower beds.
There are
various styles of flower-planting. The mixed border, planted with
various hardy plants, and extending along either side of the
garden-walk, was popular years ago; and, with modifications in
position, form, and extent, has been a popular attachment to home
grounds during the past few years. To produce the best effects the
plants should be set close enough to cover the ground; and the
selection should be such as to afford a continuity of bloom.The mixed
flower-bed may contain only tender summer-blooming plants, in which
case the bed, made up mostly of annuals, does not purport to express
the entire season.
When you are looking for landscaping tips
after you decide how much space you have, and what types of plants and
flowers will go best in your flower beds, you can look online for
examples or suggestions. There are many gardening and home improvement
sites that have amazing and beautiful ideas for gardens and flower beds
alike.
A walk around your neighborhood can even help you with ideas,
and may give you an idea of what plants do the best in your particular
climate. You may also find color schemes and ideas that you love by
looking around, and this may help you figure out exactly what you need.
Ask a salesperson at your local garden center for ideas and suggestions
as well.
