Using your Garden Made Simple planting plan, begin placing all your plants as shown in the plan.  4” annuals are spaced 8” part, 1 gallon plants are spaced 18” apart, 3 gallon plants are spaced 36” apart and 5 gallon plants are spaced 48” apart Plant space is accomplished by measuring from the center of one plant to the center of another plant. Face the plants so the best side is facing forward.   After all the plants are faced, check plants for spacing and quantity.  Make sure you have enough plants or not to many for the planting area.  Over planting will cause general decline in the plants in a few years.  In addition to general decline, it’s a waste of money.
