Join our mailing list and receive our report on Gardening E-Books.	Location, location, location! When selecting flowers for your garden, you need to consider where you will be planting. If you get that right everything else is simple. Don't plant what can't live where you do. Some flowers like it hot, some like it cold. Planting species that don't like your climate is a surefire road to failure. What kind of soil do you have? Although you can improve soil drainage and fertility by adding amendments, you don't necessarily have to do it the first year. Start with varieties that match the soil you have and gradually improve it. Full sun - partial sun - shade. Again different kinds of flowers flourish in different kinds of sunlight. Don't forget to consider different times of day. If you're asking flowers to get by in a colder climate, the southern light in the morning is what they depend on to warm up. Where's the hose? If you have to hand water flowers, consider planting them where you can get them water without breaking your back. You might even consider planting species that are less water demanding.
Perennials versus Annuals! It's a big decision! Perennials are just the thing if you like something to do all year round - there's always pruning and feeding to be done. Those rose bushes need a lot of work, but in time your pride in their growth over the years will outweigh the sore muscles. Annuals are great if you like to do something a little different every year. They also make for huge boquets over a relatively short time of the year.

Don't Get Intimidated! Yes, there is a lot to know. But you can get by on trial and error if you prefer not to study up. You can also be selective; start by growing just a few different flowers and learn about them. Go to the state or county fair and visit the flower displays. You'l learn a lot in a single day. In many parts of the country, you can find groups of people whose hobby is growing roses, proteas, or orchids. If that is what you are all about, find one of these groups. The people in them are more than happy to share and may be able to prevent you from making mistakes that are specific to your neighborhood. And if everything comes up turnips at least you'll have someone to commiserate with!		Videos
