3. 4 Things to Consider
When Planting Your
Garden

4. • Choose a spot for your garden that receives adequate
sunlight based on the types of plants you want to grow.
• Most vegetables and flowers require at least 6 hours of direct
sunlight daily.
• Consider factors such as shade from nearby buildings or trees
that could affect the sun your garden receives throughout the
day.
Location and Sunlight

5. • Evaluate your soil quality and drainage. Amend with compost
or fertilizer as needed for nutrients.
• Proper drainage is provided to control waterlogging, which
can cause root rot.
• Raised beds or organic matter can help improve drainage.
Soil Quality and Drainage

6. • Select plants served to your climate and growing needs.
• Consider temperature, humidity, and frost dates.
• Follow spacing guidelines to avoid overcrowding, hindering
growth, and nutrient competition.
Plant Selection and Spacing

7. • Establish a watering schedule based on plant needs, adjusting
for weather and soil moisture.
• Water profoundly, but avoid overwatering.
• Monitor for pests and diseases, using organic pesticides or
crop rotation as needed.
• Regular weeding and mulching conserve moisture and
suppress weeds.

11. FAQ’s
Q. What month should you start a garden?
Q. What is the best season to plant a garden?
Q. What happens if you plant your garden too early?
The best month to start a garden varies by region and plant type. Generally, Spring is ideal when
the soil warms up, and frost risk diminishes, but it depends on your local climate and plant
preferences.
Spring and fall are generally the best seasons for planting, offering optimal conditions for seed
germination and root development. However, the ideal season varies based on your local climate
and plant selection.
Planting too early risks frost damage, poor germination, and stunted growth due to cold soil
temperatures. It also increases susceptibility to diseases and pests. It's essential to wait until the
soil warms up and frost risk decreases before planting.
