Now to get things started successfully, there are several things to consider before you even choose which flowers to plant. Those include:

• Climate
• The amount of sunlight the area receives
• Soil type and condition
• Water drainage
• Time for care and maintenance

Any of the first four factors can be overcome if you have the time. But, if you want a low maintenance garden, it makes sense to choose plants accordingly.

Seed packages and most seedlings bear labels concerning when to plant, what climates they will grow in and how much sunlight they need. But, before you go shopping for seeds, take the time to prepare the area and do a little planning.

In order to prepare the space for planting, you will need to turn the soil. Depending on the size of the area, you may be able to do this by hand, but you might want to rent a rotary tiller.

The blades of the tiller will break up hard clumps of dirt. Rocks will need to be removed by hand. Large stones can be removed as you are preparing the area. Smaller ones can be tossed outside the space as you are planting.

Rocks and hard-packed earth interfere with growing seeds. They cannot push through to the surface.

One of the best gardening strategies is to start the seeds indoors, in potting soil, before planting time. You can use pots made of peat moss that can be placed directly into the prepared garden area. This reduces stress on the seedling and makes planting easier.

If you have an open area with full sun growing anything is easier. When you are planning the space, remember to plant tall species towards the center and shorter ones towards the outside, so that the smaller plants will continue to get as much sun, as possible, as time goes by.

Most people have a partly shady area, usually a bed next to their homes or around a tree. The best flower gardening tips for these areas is to plant with the sunlight. East-facing beds will have full-sun in the morning and lots of heat in most climates, while the afternoon is cooler. That combination is actually ideal for growing most flowers.
