La Citta VitaPlanting a garden is a great way to prepare for the spring. Gardening is also a hobby that can be a rewarding way to display your hard work for all to see. The best time to plant bulbs is best done at the end of fall prior to the spring you would like them to bloom. Before beginning your gardening it is necessary to have all of the items you will need for starting the project. You will need seeds or bulbs, a tool for digging, markers, mulch and landscaping edging.

Remember when choosing seeds to read the packet and only purchase the ones that will grow well in an area you intend to use as a garden. If you only have shaded areas, there are plenty of pretty flowers that thrive well in shaded areas. The seeds will need to be planted in containers with good drainage when planting for indoor starts.

Read packets completely to determine if the will be good transplants to be placed in shaded or sunny areas. And take care to not get the packets wet or subjected to moisture before you intend to plant in the containers.
