Introduction:
Understanding the best times to plant different types of plants is crucial for a thriving garden. In this blog post, we’ll provide a seasonal planting guide, helping you decide what to plant throughout the year for optimal growth and success in your Surrey garden.
Main Points:
- Spring Planting:
Spring is the ideal time for planting most trees, shrubs, and perennials. We’ll discuss the benefits of planting species like Flowering Cherries (Kwanzan and Akebano) and Magnolias in spring when the soil begins to warm up and the risk of frost has passed. We’ll also cover early spring vegetables and annuals that can add vibrant colors to your garden. - Summer Planting:
While summer can be challenging due to heat, certain plants like tropical species and heat-tolerant perennials thrive when planted in summer. We’ll recommend options like Hilli Yew and Alberta Fat Spruce that can handle the summer heat, and offer tips on watering and care during the hottest months. - Fall Planting:
Fall is perfect for planting bulbs, perennials, and cool-season vegetables. We’ll explore how trees like Bowhall Maples and Serbian Spruce establish their roots in the cooler months, leading to vigorous growth in spring. We’ll also discuss why fall is an excellent time for planting because of cooler temperatures and more consistent rainfall. - Winter Care:
Winter is a time for garden preparation rather than planting, but there are still things you can do to protect your plants. We’ll provide tips on mulching, pruning, and preparing your garden for the cold months. We’ll also discuss which plants like Dogwoods and Oaks should be protected and how to keep evergreens healthy during winter.
