As the weather starts to get warmer and the sun shines just a little bit brighter, people are keen to get their gardens ready for some sunshine.
After winter, gardens can look worse for wear with patio’s being covered in dirt or moss, weeds strating the grow in the garden, and flowers from the year before having not survived.
Once the sun starts to shine again, most people crave seeing some more colour in their garden as they plan on spending more time there.
The perfect time to start planing in your garden is once the last frost has passed, and the weather starts to brighten up ahead of spring.
But as with most things, getting the most our of your space is all in the planning. With warmer months being just around the corner, Gardenary, a Tiktok account encouraging beginners to start gardening, has shared some advice on how people can make their own gardens look pretty.
The gardener said: “Here’s how to plan your garden in one minute. First, plan out your border. You want to have herbs and flowers all along the edge of your raised beds.
“These will repel pests, attract beneficial insects, and provide year-round beauty. After the border, I plan on my biggest plants, which is the fruiting plant. For spring, it’s going to be sugar snap peas.In the summer, it’ll be things like tomatoes and cucumbers.
” I grow these up a trellis right in the middle of the bed. Step three, you plant root crops right alongside your fruiting crops.In this case, I’m doing radishes by seed.
“Next, we’ll plant leaves right inside the border of the garden. I love to start mine from seed, but I’m also adding in some little starts so my client gets a harvest soon.This is a spot almost everybody misses.
“Right behind your herbs before you get to your leafy greens, put a biennial there, kale, Swiss chard, or parsley. Then I add smelly plants, garlic, onions, or chives to give me a little bit of extra pest protection.”
