There are many ways to spruce up the look and feel of your patio. Fall is a great season for planting ground covers in your garden.

If you are planting bulbs in the spring, you can do so as soon as the threat of frost has passed. An important consideration is whether the succulent comes from a wet or dry area, the soil it is used to, and whether there is a lot of rainfall or very little. You should definitely water them less often that you would herbaceous plants.

Choose cool-season annuals, such as Iceland poppies and pansies for spring and fall displays. You can make almost anything from a dome to a wigwam with some willow branches or plastic tubing. Sometimes just using the strength of the water hose will get the little bugs away.

The key to transferring good indoor growing herbs is to make sure they are thick and full before you transfer them. You can also find pruners that mount on a pole that will extend your reach.
