Creating a beautiful garden is a process that shouldn't be rushed. When it comes to the design stages much thought should be given, especially as a number of plants are terribly sensitive. It's definitely worth all of the effort though.

There is a saying "fail to plan, plan to fail" which encourages gardeners to plan their garden first by sketching it out. This sketch will help you a lot in managing your budget because you will know exactly what you are doing. If you struggle to draw your garden then you could hire a professional to assist you but this will cost you more money. Available to the general public are computer-aided design programs for the computer which are another option. As long as you have a good computer and experience using it then they are simple to use but you do have to pay for the program. However, no matter how you choose to go about it, you undoubtedly should create a sketch to work from if you want your dream garden to become a reality.

Your plants need fertilizing, so you need to fertilize them if you want to succeed. To ensure your plants are healthy you need to provide them with a boost of minerals and nutrients. The main nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, are what most plants need. Nitrogen helps with stem and leaf growth and is usually the most important nutrient. Phosphorus helps in the production of flowers, fruits, seeds and the growth of roots while potassium aids in disease resistance and overall health. It is important to have a balanced fertilizer with all 3 nutrients, and these can be found on the market. For your garden it is easy to choose the best fertilizer as they are all labeled to help you decide. For lawns, a nitrogen fertilizer would be suggested, but for a garden with lots of flowering plants a phosphorus fertilizer would be suggested.

Container Gardening: If you don't have a garden or even too much space, that doesn't mean that you can't grow anything. Herbs and vegetables grow quite well in containers. It is of utmost importance to keep your plants moist, planters have a tendency to loose moisture quicker than in other cases. Individual plants require individual soil needs, bear this in mind. There are some plants that prefer a lesser grade of soil, such as lavender, thyme and sage. If you keep the soil too moist however, they may rot. So, to make sure you are taking care of your container garden properly, place your containers somewhere where you will see them easily and won't forget about taking care of them. In terms of herbs, you can use a window box in the kitchen to grow anything from basil to parsley and oregano.

It's definitely worth the effort required to make your garden beautiful. If you are not enjoying the process of gardening you need to take a deep breath and remember it should be pleasant and not a chore.
