Wood Arbors And Tomato Plants For Late BloomersIf you've always wanted to have a lovely garden and yard, but are like me and every year find yourself already in the middle of summer without having made plans for your garden, then maybe this is the year to make those dreams come true! This year, even though summer was already halfway through, I decided that I wasn't going to miss yet another season, and decided that it couldn't be too late! Here's what I did, and no matter how big or how small your garden plans are, you should be able to use some of my advice to help make your garden plans a reality this summer! For me, step one was wood arbors. Once you have a lovely new wooden garden bench situated in your gardens, you need to have something focal to look at. One or two wood arbors are a great choice as they also enable you to grow flowers or produce over them.
Wood arbors really are an ideal place to start when creating a new look for your yard, as they plants that typically grow on them - vines - grow and bloom all through the summer. For my yard, I picked up two Fairchild wood arbors from Ace hardware for $169.99 a piece. From there, I transplanted the clematis that was already growing in my backyard to a spot under the wood arbors. Even though our yards probably aren't the same, you can still use this idea - take plants, vines, flowers and other greenery that is already growing in your yard, and then transplant them to different areas. This technique can be used for any types of plants and flowers that don't require planting in the early summer, and is especially useful for plants that are already present in your yard, or that you can purchase from a greenhouse. But what do you do when you want a vegetable garden, but the summer is already halfway over? I contacted the local greenhouse, and asked them about purchasing tomato plants and raspberry bushes that were already half grown. Most greenhouses will have things like this for purchase, which you can transplant right into your yard. And a bonus with those tomato plants was that I could use the wood arbors for the tomato vines! So there you have it, a few different ideas for beautifying your yard, even if you are a "late bloomer" this summer like I was! Hopefully you'll find them helpful for making your yard a great retreat. |
