flower image : Improve Your Landscape

LANDSCAPING and gardening hold high interest in today's world. After all, we want our land to look good, give a nice feel to our home and blend with the existing grounds. We want gardens that not only look good outside but can provide our interior home with gorgeous splashes of color. Many will get professional landscapers and others will do
the jobs themselves.

THE DESIRE for healthful, relaxed and informal living is resulting in a growing awareness of the importance of landscaping to a home. Your plans for home modernizing therefore, should not be confined within the walls of your home, but should extend to include lawns, gardens and outdoor living areas.

This website has been prepared as a service to home owners who desire to make the exterior of their homes as lovely and as comfortable as the interiors.

If you are planting annuals, ordinary digging in well-drained soil should suffice. But if you are planting perennials, you will want to plant them as well as any shrub; remember that if they are planted close to the foundation, the soil may be poor initially and may need preparation.

The hole should be at least 2 feet square. Break up the bottom soil and mix in bone meal, peat moss, etc. If you are planting near the house, be careful to place the vine far enough from the overhanging eaves so that water will not drip on the leaves. In winter weather, wet leaves can freeze in the evening and crack. Also, if the vines are placed against a sunny wall they will get reflective heat, and so they should receive extra watering in hot weather
