| We all know fall is the time to dress-up our landscapes for next spring by planting spring flowering bulbs like tulips and daffodils. There is another great way to use spring flowering bulbs a lot of folks don't think of. Plant a container in the fall with layers of bulbs to give your deck or patio a burst of color next spring. Here are the steps for this easy Patriotic Spring Bulb Display project.

| First, choose the proper location for your garden. Where you plant your garden will depend on what you want to grow. If you prefer sun-loving flowers, then you will want to choose a spot where that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sun every day. If your location isn’t negotiable—for instance, the side of your house—then consider how much direct sunlight that area receives per day. Plants vary in their light requirements, so select a spot with the right light for your favorite flowers. |

| Create a raised bed almost anywhere, even on pavement. Find a spot where light conditions best suit what you'll grow. If it is for a vegetable garden for example, you’ll want an area that receives full sun. Measure the bed narrow enough for you to reach comfortably across. If you're building beds side by side, allow at least 16 inches between the beds, so you can walk easily between them. Mark off the area with string and stakes. |

| Few tastes rival that of homegrown tomatoes or freshly picked corn. Plan your garden well and enjoy tasty, wholesome vegetables all season. For best results, sketch your plan on paper before putting shovel to soil. Choose your favorite vegetables and space according to seed packet or plant tag instructions.

| Of course, traditional terra-cotta, ceramic, metal and plastic pots work well for container gardening, as does the traditional window box. But think "outside the box." You can also use "non-traditional" containers such as kitchen pans, an old wheel barrow or an iron kettle. |

| Thatch is an accumulation of decaying matter on the surface of the soil of a lawn. A little thatch (up to 1/2" ) is O.K. If it is thicker than that, you have a problem. Nutrients and water will have difficulties getting to the root zone, and the thatch will provide a safe harbor for insects that destroy turf. |
