Choosing a Garden That Is Perfect For You

If you're thinking about starting a garden, the first thing you need toconsider is what type of garden you will have. There are many differentchoices and often it can be hard to pick just one, but hopefully you cannarrow it down. But by narrowing it down, you'll make the gardeningexperience easier on yourself and the plants. If all your plants aresimilar, then it shouldn't be very hard to care for them all. So here aresome of the main garden ideas for you to choose from.

If you're just looking for something to look nice in your yard, you'llwant a flower garden. These are usually filled with perennial flower.Perennial flowers are flowers which stay healthy year-round. They'rebasically weeds because of their hardiness, only nice looking. Differentareas and climates have different flowers which are considered perennials.If you do a quick internet search for your area, you can probably find alist of flowers that will bring your flower garden to life. These usuallyonly require work in the planting stage - after that, the flower take careof themselves. The only downside to this is that you don't have anyproduct to show for it.

Another choice for your garden is to have a vegetable garden. Theseusually require a little more work and research than a flower garden, butcan be much more rewarding. No matter what time of the year it is, you canusually find one vegetable that is still prospering. That way you can haveyour garden be giving you produce almost every day of the year! Whenstarting a vegetable garden, you should build it with the thought in mindthat you will be adding more types of veggies in later. This will helpyour expandability. Once all your current crops are out of season, youwon't be stuck with almost nowhere to put the new crops. A vegetablegarden is ideal for someone who wants some produce, but doesn't want todevote every waking hour to perfecting their garden (see below.)

One of the more difficult types of gardens to manage is a fruit garden.It's definitely the most high-maintenance. When growing fruits, many morepests will be attracted due to the sweetness. You not only have to dealwith having just the right dirt and fertilizer, you have to deal withchoosing a pesticide that won't kill whoever eats the fruits. Your fruitgarden will probably not produce year-round. The soil needs to be justright for the plants to grow, and putting in another crop during itsoff-season could be disastrous to its growth process. If you're willing toput lots of work into maintaining a garden, then a fruit garden could be agood choice for you.

So now that I've outlined some of the main garden types that peoplechoose, I hope you can make a good decision. Basically, the garden typecomes down to what kind of product you want, and how much work you want toput into it. If you're looking for no product with no work, go with aflower garden. If you want lots of delicious product, but you are willingto spend hours in your garden each day, then go for a fruit garden. Justmake sure you don't get into something you can't handle!
