7 Must-Follow Rules of Gardening

1. Make a Maintenance Schedule

Plants, like all living things, appreciate tender loving care and will reward you for providing it. Conversely, neglecting lawn and garden maintenance can do lasting damage to the landscape. Protect your landscaping investment just as you would your good clothes, your car, or your house. Familiarize yourself with the needs of your plants, including watering, weeding, pruning, and fertilizing. Then literally mark dates on the calendar to remind yourself when each type of job needs to be done.
