Now is a good time to think and plan about container gardening.

A lot of us are thinking about our gardens for the upcoming season. The mailman has really been helping out by bringing all of the new seed catalogs. Many of us have already ordered all of the seeds we will be needing for the veggie garden.

But let’s think about container gardens for our flowers. One thing you need to keep in mind is to have the proper soil mix. You can go to your local garden center and they will be happy to help you. The soil mix you want for flowering plants actually isn’t soil at all, You will be looking for a soilless mix,there are many different companies offering this but they’re basically all the same they’re made up of peat moss, bark, and other organic materials. You will also notice that there is vermiculite and or perlite mixed in. This is to help with keeping the mix light and almost fluffy in appearance for drainage purposes.

There are some commercial potting soil mixes that contain granular fertilizer, they seem to work well to give the plants a good start but you will need to feed them throughout the growing season with an all purpose liquid plant food in order to keep them happy and looking good.

Container gardening is a great way to add color anywhere in your yard, you can change the look of your deck or yard daily if you like.
