111 nursery and gardening

Succulents are distinctive and often difficult to grow. The back of the seed packet tells you the best time to plant the seeds.

Especially on those gray days in winter it is happy to see the bright cheerful bloom of a flower, reminding that while its gray outside, color and the beauty of the green of nature is close at hand. Most are without steady access to natural water and are in shaded spots, as they are being hung under pergolas or rafters. They can grow from vines that reach a certain point and will stop growing.

If you cannot do that, plow the area 6-8 inches deep in the spring once the soil is ready to be worked. Begin by digging a trench along the path you are creating. When you plant multiple bulbs together keep in mind the spacing they will need as they grow.

If everyone all could follow these few simple suggestions, everyone would be in the better. And remember, birds are a great addition to your garden.
