Hi, this is Yolanda Vanveen on behalf of Expert Village. In this section we're talking about
flower gardening. And now were going to decide how do I plant spring, summer, fall blooming
plants to have a succession of color and is that what I want to do or not? It's fun to
throw a party all year long, so you need to have flowers that bloom almost every season
of the year and add color to your garden every season of the year. So, in the spring you
want lots of color, so you want to intermix them with your summer blooming plants. So
it's always easy a lot of times in the fall you'll see where your summer blooming plants
are dying off, there's empty spots. So at that time is the best time to plant your spring-blooming
plants, like tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, anything that blooms in the spring
usually you buy in the fall. At the end of the spring when all your spring bloomers are
finished blooming and have turned brown, you can see where all the empty spots are, vice
versa, you can put your summer blooming plants in at that time. Your cannalilies, your lilies,
your calalilies, your crocosmias, everything else. And that way your can have color for
years to come, spring through late summer to fall. Next segment we're going to talk
about mulching; when to mulch and how to mulch.
