Creating a flower landscape is fun. Creating a flower landscape is fun when you create something unique and beautiful. Creating a flower landscape can be as easy as creating a simple flower bed. A flower bed is an oasis in your yard. A flower bed is a place where you can sit and relax with a book, a glass of wine, and your favorite book….or even meditate.
In our flower bed gardening guide, you will learn the easy, step by step process of planting a flower garden bed. First, select the type of plant you would like to plant in your flower bed. Next, choose a place in your yard for your planting. Next, determine how large of a flower bed you need for the area you have.
The first thing you want to do before planting is make sure your planting date is in alignment with the sun’s rise and set times. The best way to find out is to research sun rise and set times for the area you are planning to plant in. You can also search online for the information you need. Most plants do well at a certain time of the year. If you have chosen a rose plant for your bed, you will need to know if it can handle the sun at certain times during the season. Most roses need about six hours of direct sunlight to thrive.
The second step in planting is to choose and prepare your flower beds. Remove any weeds and sod from your flower beds. Do not allow any grass to grow through the soil of the bed. If needed, use a rototiller or fork lift to remove the grass and sod. If you have decided on using a garden fork lift, make sure it has not rusted through and is in good shape.
The third step in the preparation process is to prepare the soil. Loosely pack the soil into your flower bed. Make sure it is completely compacted and cannot be turned. If using a rototiller, you should turn the soil after you have placed the seed in the bottom of the bed. Place a layer of mulch over the soil to help the water stay in the bed.
The last step in preparing your l shaped raised garden bed is to cover the bed with plastic. Most greenhouse growers use polyethylene plastic to protect their plants during cold winter months. It also makes it easier to move the l shaped structure during the spring and summer months. Place the lid on the plastic covering and return the lid to the greenhouse until the spring.
Once the spring is here, the soil and mulch should be moving again to allow the water to fully drain. If you are planning to grow a bale of beans or a plant that likes to go into the ground, wait until the weather is warm and moist before you dig it up. This will give the new plant life the opportunity to develop a root system. Dig about one inch of soil out from the base of your l shaped structure. This will hold the new plant life and provide the area where it can grow roots and start growing.
You might choose to place a trellis on the l shaped raised garden bed. A trellis will provide support for the plant as it grows. The main thing to remember about a trellis is that you must clean it from time to time. Don’t get any dirt in the trellis and its root system. If you do get dirt in the trellis, use a root rake to remove the excess dirt and trim the trellis back to the original position.
After the initial preparation has been done, the actual planting can begin. Place the seeds on the top of the l shaped bed. Plant two to three bean plants per square foot. I would suggest three to four because they will all grow to different sizes. After planting, just water the bed and wait for them to come up. When the beans have developed and sprouted, you can remove them from the bed and place them in a nice planter that will provide them with shade and a place to call their own.
