What Should I Plant

Spring is in the air. I can think of nothing better than visiting the local garden centres in Spring.Tesco Garden Furniture is a great place to do your research before venturing to your local garden centre.

Annuals and perennials are an important part of all UK garden centres stock. Be very careful when choosing as if you dont know what you are looking for you could have a lot of problems later on.

You will find that perennials could be large plants like trees but also small dainty flowers so you cannot rely on the size of the plant as the main factor in picking perennials.

Perennials are the traditional element of garden centers, many with old-fashioned names and old-fashioned memories of simpler times. Perennials will last a long time but annuals will change regular as your tastes change. Winter will kill your annuals as they cannot survive the cold weather and you will need to plant again the following Spring.

When visiting a garden centre just look for the bright colours if you are looking for the annuals section. different coloured annuals can set the imagination alive at the thought of what you can create. Larger garden centres usually have their own nursery which means that the annuals are usually freshly picked.

Modern garden centres sell a number of different products which can include conservatory furniture, fountain, statues, mulch, books and gifts etc.

If you want to be a successful gardener then you will need a lot of patience, expert advice and practise.

If you want to produce professional looking gardens then you will need a lot of experience and knowledge and there is no better places to help with this than reading a lot of garden related books and joining an online gardening forum. Frankly, nothing will replace the accumulated green thumb understanding of the practical peculiarities of each plant in your garden, which you accrue through your relationships with your family and neighbors meeting at the garden center.

Horticulture is a science which can be learnt, you can start off small and become more adventurous as your experience grows.

Biology Scavenger hunt!?

A class within Phylum Anthophyta
60,000 species
These organisms have vascular tissue and produce seeds.
Their pollen (sperm cells) is transported by wind or animals (like insects, birds, bats, etc.).
They produce flowers; the least-showy flowers are usually wind-pollinated plants. Showy flowers are often used to attract animal pollinators.
They produce fruit to protect and nourish the seeds until they can develop into plants. Fruits are also useful in dispersing seeds; in some plants they are shaped like little kites to catch the wind, in some plants the fruits are especially tasty to animals.
They have one seed leaf, and leaves usually have parallel veins.
