When is the best time to start a garden?

We are in Spring, almost April, when is the best time to start a garden?? what kind of flower seeds can i buy that will grow every year without re-seeding again?

When is the best time to start a garden?
depends where you are at. usally when the danger of frost has gone.
Reply:I started mine last weekend but I live in an area not prone to frost. If you do live in an area where frost is prevalent, check to see when the last frost date is and start it after that. I would seek seeds that yield periennal flowers because they come back every year. I am more of the instantaneous gratification gardener so I buy the flats or small container plants so I have an immediate garden and don't have to thin seeds or wait for germination.
Reply:Check the internet for a Planting Calendar in your area. Most states have an Agricultural Extention Service with offices throughout. Check the telephone book. Good luck.
Reply:june will be best. as for seeds that come back up hostas and cone flowers are nice as well as swamp sunflowers, cannas, irises, and morning glories.





morning glories re seed them selves
Reply:Probably May 1. If you have a sunny area, grow coreopsis, shasta daisy, and galardia from seed.
Reply:I suggest to start planning your garden in the winter. You have lots of time to think about how you want your garden to look, what kind of garden you want, when you can actually start tilling, cleaning, %26amp; planting it. Do you want plants %26amp; flowers to climb, do you want low growing plants, do you want fruit that you can pick and eat or make jelly or wine out of.


There are endless possibilities when starting a garden. Annuals only grow for one season, perennials come back every year, bi-ennials flower their second season.

Reply:I start my garden around mothers day and i live in Utah your local garden shop should be able to tell you when and what to grow in your area annuals only grow 1 year perennials grow for more then one year so if you want it to come up every year look for perennials
