      Gardening Tips: Borders

      If you want to add ground cover such as creeping thyme or alyssum to your garden here is a

      great way to get started early and a fabulous way to create instant borders without the backache

      of having to plant each flower. Measure the area you want covered with ground cover. Let’s

      say you want to create a border along an existing garden that is 10 feet long. Cut newspaper

      (about 2 pages thick) into two feet long by one foot wide strips. To cover 10 feet you will need

      five of these two foot strips. Place the strips in a slightly sunny area but where the seeds won’t be disturbed or pelted with rays of light, such as basement shelving near a window. Place

      garbage bags on the shelves then add the newspaper strips. Do not overlap strips.

      Sprinkle the seeds on the newspaper like you would if you were planting them in the ground.

      Place a layer of paper towel over each strip and then spray the towel, seeds and newspaper

      with a water bottle. You want to saturate the towel and the newspaper, but you don’t want it to

      drip. The paper must never dry out (if it does spray immediately.) Remove the paper towel

      when the seeds germinate (in about a week.) Two months later, weather permitting, you can

      plant your newspaper strips, now bursting with seedlings, outdoors. First carefully arrange each

      seedling strip where it will be planted. Once you are happy with the arrangement cover bare

      newspaper areas with soil to anchor the strip.

      General Gardening Tips

      Save all flats and flower pots that come with your plants. First, you can always use these to

      start your seeds next season (be sure to wash the flats to rid them of any disease.) Second, it

      may look funny at first, but if you cut out the bottom of plastic pots and place them over younger transplants it will protect them from rabbits. Additionally, placing pots around ornamental

      grasses is a great way to contain the younger, lower grass strands from rotting as they lay on

      the ground. The band created by the pot will keep the strands off the ground.

      Here’s a coffee tip. Humans are not the only ones to get a boost from espresso. Plants do too!

      Caffeine and theophylline, two ingredients of coffee are popular ingredients in expensive skin

      care products, and key ingredients in asthma medications, but also make excellent fertilizer for

      plants. You can get it by the big bagful and for free just by contacting your local coffee shop.

      Just mix the espresso in with your existing soil every few months and watch your plants grow.

      Successful gardening means that you don’t always have to buy everything new, such as pots or

      fertilizer. Look around your home to see what you already have that you can reuse.

      Late Autumn Gardening Tips

      Come fall gardeners are usually a little teary-eyed over parting ways with garden tasks. For a

      little late season planting run to the nearest garden section and buy California poppy, candytuft, cornflower, dianthus, phlox, cosmos, soapwort, spinach, larkspur, pansies, some marigolds,

      snapdragons, garlic, and/or sweet pea seeds for what should be half off at that time of year.

      These hardy annuals can actually be planted in the fall and will bloom in the spring or summer!

      Who doesn’t want instant blooming results in the garden? If you buy a plant you want it to be all it can be like, yesterday, right. Nurseries know this and so you will pay a premium for larger

      plants. Not only is there a demand, but also the overhead on a mature plant is more than a new

      one (larger container, more water, etc.) But if you are patient, buy the smaller plant. It will save you a good deal of money and in a couple of months, with the right conditions and some Miracle

      grow your plant formerly known as small, will be a force to be reckoned with.

      Autumn is a great
