Introduction

Are you ready to install a beautiful new garden in your home? Plan ahead! Successful planting is all about knowing the growth requirements of your plants and picking the ideal time to plant. In the following sections, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about planting so that you can create a garden that will flourish for years to come.

Know your hardiness zone

Know Your Hardiness Zone

Knowing your hardiness zone is a great way to plan for the weather and find plants that are going to work well in your climate. Your hardiness zone tells you how cold it gets in your area. It’s a number between 1 and 10, with 1 being the warmest and 10 being the coldest. The more winter-like temperatures get, the lower your hardiness zone will be (so if it gets into single digits or below zero frequently, you can expect a low number). If you live in an area that only experiences mild winters or doesn’t get very much snow at all, then this number won’t be as important to you as those who live further north where winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing.

Plant Hardiness Map

A plant hardiness map is used to determine which plants can thrive in different areas of North America based on the average temperature over several years of record keeping data provided by organizations like The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These days most people use zone maps since they provide more detail than just using average high/low temperatures during specific months throughout each year (which was all we used back when determining what would grow best).

Understand the growth requirements for your plants

Before you get started with the planting, it’s important to understand the growth requirements for your plants.

This means knowing the water requirements, soil requirements, light requirements, fertilizer requirements and pest control needs of each plant. This will make sure that you don’t end up over- or underwatering your garden which can lead to death or stunted growth—or even worse: mold!

Know when to plant

It’s important to know when to plant, because the weather is a big factor in how well a crop will grow.

In general, spring and fall are the best times of year to plant since they offer mild temperatures and lots of rain. These conditions make it easier for plants to get established in the ground before they start producing fruit or flowers.

If you’re planting a crop that grows only in warm weather (like tomatoes), then spring is ideal because it has enough heat but not too much yet—and you’ll have time for your plants to mature before winter sets in. If you’re planting something cold-hardy (like kale), late summer is perfect because it still has some warmth left over from the season but hasn’t gotten so cold that crops would be damaged by frost yet—plus there’s plenty of daylight hours left for photosynthesis!

The first thing you need to know is that planting a garden can be very rewarding, especially if you take the time to do it right. The second is that there are many different types of plants available for your garden and some are better suited for certain climates than others. And finally, planting isn’t necessarily as easy as some people make it seem.

Let’s get into detail about each:
