Your plants need to adapt and must be gradually introduced to changes of environment. Put them out in the sun for approximately one to two hours the first day. Over the week, slowly increase the amount of time that you leave them outside. By the time the week ends, your plants should be ready to make the big move with no problem!

Transfer your favorite plants inside so they survive the winter frosts.You may be able to save your most resistant or expensive ones. Dig carefully around their roots and place it a pot.

Pre-soak your seeds overnight in a dark area. This hydrates your seeds to be watered and help them to grow faster. The seeds will have a better chance at lasting and blossoming.

You should make sure to divide irises. You can increase your stock of irises you have by dividing up overgrown clumps. The bulbs, and when you replant them, will flower about a year later. You can divide rhizomes with a blade. Cut the root stalk and throw out the pieces. Each piece must have a minimum of one healthy offshoot. Replant your pieces as soon as you have finished the cuttings.

A great garden must be grown from the seeds and not from the plants. The environmentally conscious way to start a new garden is starting from seeds. The plastic used in nurseries often end up in landfills, so it is best to start with the seeds or buy from nurseries who use organic materials in packaging their plants.
