If You Fail to Plan You Plan to Fail

3 Planting

Planting is the fun part, but if you don't do it with some planning, you will be in for lots of work in the future. It is my belief that if you want a plant to be 4 feet tall, plant a bush that grows to 4 feet.  Most people go to the store and look for plants that look pretty, forgetting that most grow.... a lot.  They don't give them the sun or water they need.  Then they spend a lot of time cutting them smaller and buying chemicals to save them.  Who needs it?  There is a house in our neighborhood that has a garden like this.  It looked nice for about a month after it was planted.  But I knew as soon as I saw it that it was not going to look nice for long.  They had planted vines and spreading plants very close together.  They planted tall shrubs surrounding tiny plants.  It always looks like a jungle now.  A little planning will save you time and money.
