area with welldrained, fertile soil is the best for flowering plants. Make sure
that the area is sheltered from strong winds that could defoliate and destroy
the blooms.br br 2. Preparing the soil. Dig the soil thoroughly with a
shovel until it is fine and loose. Add a large amount of compost or organic
fertilizer to the top layer and mix it a bit with the soil. Fertilizers are
vital to ensuring that your plants have all the nutrients they need for growing
strong and healthy so make sure to do it properly.br br 3. Planting the
seeds. You can buy the seeds at any department store or gardening shop here

only at the surface. br br 4. Watering. Water the seeds or plants at
least twice a day. Moderate the amount of water as overwatering could kill your
garden easily. br br 5. Fertilizing. Fertilize the flower bed periodically to
make your flowers grow well.br br 6.
Pest control. Always watch out for pests that could damage your flowers
and take care of them early. Common pests are easily killed with the pesticides

buy.br br 7. Deadheading. Remove diseased, infested, rotting or old
blooms and leaves. This will prevent the disease from spreading or attracting
the pests. Also, the plants will bloom longer since dead flowers signal that the
plant should start producing seeds.br br These are only basic tips so make
