The Fall is a great time to consider planning renovations or additions to your garden. Fall in New Orleans is the second spring in the Big Easy. As the temperatures turn favorable for planting and the humidity starts to decline making our plants actually smile.
Here are a handful for gardening ideas that can entire you into the hall of Gardening Fame in your neighborhood.
1. Start by looking at all the plants and the condition have this summer and recent Gustav challenge. If you notice broken limbs, damaged leaves, fungus or insect damage then consider replacing.
2.Revisit your long term gardening plan. Maybe its time to remove those old hedges by adding some new hedges. There are new varieties of plants released every year with improvements as well as pest resistant.
3.Make sure you are feeding our plants as this will provide a return on your investment 10 fold. A solid feeding program throughout the year will make all your plants healthier as well as stronger. Healthier plants need less care.
4.Add colorful potted accent plants at entrance ways and focal points in the yard.
5.Plan your garden thinking about all 4 seasons. Fall-Winter-Spring-Summer with annual rotations for each season. Planning will give you something to look forward to in your yard and rather than be a follower..you will be the leader.
