About Annuals
( Added: Wed Jul 20 2005 Hits: 89)
|
| For most gardeners, annuals and biennials mean flowers, and lots of them — in various shapes, colors, and sizes. There are many flowering plants for garden use, but as a group annuals and biennials are considered by many to be the easiest to take care of as well as being the most inexpensive.

| It's better to water deeply, and less often, than giving plants a light watering each day. Deep watering encourages plants to grow deep roots that are better able to withstand periods of drought. The best method is to use a soaker hose, which places water right at soil level and minimizes the water wasted through evaporation. The idea is to soak the soil down to the depth of the root ball. |

Feeding Annuals
( Added: Wed Jul 20 2005 Hits: 118)
|
| In general, annuals and biennials are fairly undemanding when it comes to plant food, especially if they are planted in a nutrient-rich soil. Many successful gardens of these plants get by without any plant food at all, but conscientious gardeners know that a few well-timed applications of plant food will result in healthier, more robust plants and, in most cases, more flowers. |
