Gardening Tips to Make Your Garden Grow

Whether you want advice on basic gardening or home landscaping, the garden pros at Home and Garden TV have it all--from advice on perennial gardening to winter gardening and bulb gardening.

Garden Landscaping
A quick and easy way to add a burst of color to your yard is to do some basic gardening and home landscaping. One of the easiest is perennial gardening because it can add years of shrubbery, foliage and color. And if you choose your plants carefully and create a selective site plan, you can create a perennial garden that can give you a year-round season of color. Perennial gardening is ideal for borders along a fence or property line or against a background such as wall, shrubs or evergreens. The best part is that perennial gardening usually doesn't require much maintenance once established.

Winter Gardening
Even when it's cold outside, winter gardening is still possible. It's an ideal time for winter container gardening, with hardy winter annuals like winter pansies, trailing ivy, small evergreens, ornamental cabbages, primroses, dwarf deciduous hollies and variegated yucca. Broccoli, cabbage, kale, collards, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower are also ideal for winter gardening.

Bulb Gardening
If you want colorful blooms as soon as the cold weather subsides, then you should try bulb gardening. You simply tuck a small tulip, daffodil or narcissus into the soil during the fall, and once spring hits, you'll be rewarded with colorful flowers. But you put all the legwork into bulb gardening, get some gardening tips on things like choosing the right site, planting at the right depth, protected from pests and fertilizing perhaps from the garden pros at Home and Garden TV.
