Gardening or Yard tips

[carnation]

Check out the future height of any shrubs or trees before you buy them if you don't want to prune a lot. Also, make sure you look at how wide they can get so you won't plant them too close to anything.

I use hostas. They’re easy to maintain, they don’t need a lot of water and they come back every year. Before winter sets in, I use my lawnmower to cut them completely down, then when spring/summer comes around, they come back and they come back bigger and more than they were when originally planted. Plus, they also will choke out your weeds. Geraniums are great too. If you’ve got trees in your yard, hostas are nice to plant around them. Before you know it, you’ll have a beautiful yard.

I don’t know about a garden though. We have a lot of rabbits around and they used to destroy our garden. And then, Minnesota is kind of weird for a garden because the weather is kind of unpredictable. I’m not sure if you live in a cooler state though.

Good luck man.
