Winter home maintenance chores are not warm weather projects for me because I can’t seem to get into the right frame of mind to work when the temperature is in the 80′s. Winter preparedness projects should be done in cool weather, so you can feel just a hint of the conditions for which you’re preparing.

We’re expecting the first frost of the year tonight, so I guess I should bring in any surviving delicate plants that have somehow managed to live through a miserably hot summer. Everything else can wait until after tonight’s chill.

Clean up the yard. Disconnect the garden hose and store it in the garage, garden shed or under the floor. Concrete bird baths should be taken down and turned upside down so that water won’t pool and freeze, eroding the surface of the basin. Anything else that might be harmed by freezing weather should be stored someplace where they are protected.

Container gardening is an excellent alternative or addition to a real garden, but require special treatment.  For many years I really enjoyed planting container gardens in giant clay pots while living in rented apartments in Calgary.  Here are a few tips I learned from professional gardeners.

1. If you live in an apartment and want to add a window box, check with the landlord to see if you’re allowed to have one.  Certain landlords ban them and fear that they will damage the structure of their buildings.  Realistically, a well prepared window box won’t cause any damage as long as it’s anchored firmly in place. You can buy special brackets to do this and stores also have drip trays so that you can catch any excess water that drains out of it. Not only are they attractive, but window boxes make it difficult for intruders to climb in through windows.

They have to tackle the plants first!

1. A very key part to a successful container garden is to have sufficient drainage. On the other hand, you will need to cover the hole or holes at the bottom of your pot to prevent the soil from washing out. What do you use to cover the hole(s)? This will depend on climate conditions.

If your container will be outdoors permanently and it is the warmer season, use a folded piece of newspaper. For those cooler or colder seasons, use a piece of screen or clay shard(s)

2. After purchasing your pots, you will need to remove them from their original pot to their new home. To accomplish this, you’ll just need to knock them free and loosen the roots. Position your plant in the new pot and fill it with potting soil. Note: (Make sure you use soil made for potting.

Let us know the simple tips to create durable and thriving garden container as well as hanging basket suitable to any kinds of plants on summer season.

The first thing to do is to collect artificial soil that mostly are from peat moss. You need to use good soil like Fafard or Pro Mix that use perlite, peat, and other components to create or produce soil that would not harden throughout the season. On summer using genuine soil in plants is not perfect, it will become solidified by constant watering and eventually turn into concrete, preventing the roots of the plants from growing as there are no spaces in the soil that should have been the way out of roots as well as the nutrients to be absorbed by the plants. When it happens the plants eventually become malnourished because nutrients cannot get in. One more tip is to keep dump aside your artificial soil when summer is ended and use it again the next coming years during hot season. Crush it up with a shovel to cut up the roots of last year’s plant, dump some more artificial soil or compost, and the plants will sure be growing very healthy because compost provide more nutrients to the plants.
