If you read our first post on the gardening mistakes you don’t want to make, check out the rest of our list!
• You planted in invasive variety, like a horseradish plant, Mexican feathergrass or English ivy.
o How to fix it: When ordering seeds from a catalog, words like “vigorous growth” and “prolific reseeder” are giveaways that the plant might be invasive tendencies. If you decide to go with the plant anyway, make sure to weed diligently, and consider solarizing.
• Your plants don’t have enough sun.
o How to fix it: Plants like tomatoes need a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight. Veggie plants like eggplants, chilies and most herbs also need a lot of sun, while lettuces and peas can survive in a shady area.
• You didn’t think about wildlife – and now animals are eating your plants.
o How to fix it: Install a fence around your garden to safeguard your garden from raccoons, deer and other animals. We’re your source for iron gate installation and repair. Daffodils contain poisonous crystals, so squirrels will avoid them, while snowdrops, fritillaries and winter aconite are also poisonous.
