Paying close attention to the measurements, use a black marker to establish each interval along the handle's side in a clearly visible manner. Now when you go to work in the garden, you will have a ruler that is large at your fingertips!

Choose perennials that slugs are not attracted to. Slugs or snails can kill a plant very quickly. They're particularly fond of perennials with smooth and thin leaves, especially if the plants are young. There are, however, certain types of perennials that slugs and snails hate. Most of these varieties either have tough leaves or taste unappealing. Good choices in this category are plants such as achillea, campanula, and euphorbia. Heuchera and helleborus also work well.

If you are new to gardening, make sure you read and follow all the directions on any tool or chemical you use. Otherwise, you are likely to have skin irritations flare up, which can be extremely painful and uncomfortable.

Know the ideal times to harvest each of the vegetables you plant. There is a specific time to pick every sort of vegetable in order to maximize its taste and cooking utility. For example, some plants, such as zucchini and baby peas, have the most flavor when harvested while young. Plant winter vegetables at the right time for a sweeter flavor. Find out what the best harvest time is for your vegetables.

Irises can be easily divided. You can divide those overgrown clumps and increase the amount of irises you have. Once the foliage has died off, lift out your bulbous irises. You will be able to split the bulb easily and replant it to get more flowers next year. For plants with rhizomes, use a knife to divide them. Cut out new pieces from outside the bulb and throw away the old center. Every piece needs to have a minimum of one good offshoot. Replant them immediately.

Try growing your peas indoors for the first couple months. When you plant the seeds indoors, your seeds will start to germinate better. They will also be stronger, and better equipped to resist disease and insects. Once they grow a bit bigger, the seedlings can be easily transplanted to an outdoor garden.

Involve the whole family in your gardening hobby; children find growing things to be very interesting. Growing a garden offers a unique learning experience, and you and your child can grow closer while growing healthy food for your family.
