Recently, I had read a blog post called 'Gardening Mistakes' that called on all gardeners to look back and take stock on the past year's blunders, mess ups, and general mistakes that took place in our flower beds.
New gardeners will do well to read the common mistakes the more experienced folks made as a learning tool and a confidence booster; just because we have experience doesn't mean we don't make mistakes.
The article I had read talked about some mistakes we have all surely made. One of the biggest for me is forgetting to plant anything for a particular season, resulting in empty space for months at a time. Be mindful of planting seasons. Gardening takes a significant amount of planning ahead and thinking forward.
If you miss a planting season, then there is really not much that can be done. You just have to deal with it and hope that not too many people notice. This mistake is really an aesthetic one and not one that will damage your garden or plants.
Another common mistake I find new gardeners make is when they set out to plan their flower beds. You may be eager to produce a bed that is absolutely bursting out with colorful blooms and foliage, but remember that less is more especially when it comes to flowers.
As you plan out your garden make sure that you do not squeeze too many plants into the space provided. Flowers and plants grow, remember, and while the first few stages in the plants' life may fit well within your garden, the next few months can easily become a tangled suffocated display of fauna and flora.
This is especially true if you want to try your hand at planting a meadow, which is quickly becoming in vogue and very stylish among gardeners.
Remember, your garden defines you and your home. A stylish and modern garden will accentuate your property and display your design savvy while a suffocated mass of flowers will only turn away any admirers.
As you plant, keep in mind the flowering seasons, the number of plants, and how each plant will work with the others in both size and color. Use the example of the mistakes of other orchid growers to shortcut your gardening success.
