  If you have visions of a healthy, lush, green garden, there are things you should consider on your way to that goal. While gardening is lots of work, it is also enjoyable! This article is full of tips which will help you enjoy gardening more and more every day!
  
  In the cold winter months, you can salvage certain plants by bringing them into the house. You should probably save the most resistant or expensive plants. Cautiously avoid the roots while digging, and put your plant into a perfectly sized pot.
  
  If you would like to have flowers in your garden that last through the spring and summer seasons, plant bulbs. A hardy perennial addition to your garden, bulbs will continue to delight every year. You can select bulbs that bloom at many different times, so with a little work, you could have flowers popping up all the way from the start of spring to the end of summer.
  
  Vegetables get softer as the temperature goes up, so you could damage your vegetables if you pick them during the hottest hours. When you remove the produce from the plant, use shears or a knife to cut them from the vine without twisting, as this can damage the plant.
  
  Try to plan a variety of perennials that are slug-proof. Slugs and snails are voracious eaters that can destroy a plant literally overnight. These pests gravitate to young perennials with smooth, tender, thin leaves. Perennials that have thick, furry leaves and unpleasant tastes are less likely to attract slugs and snails. Selecting an unappetizing perennial, such as campanula or heuchera, will help stop them from being eaten.
  
  To keep pests away, you can use plants in the garden or other natural materials. Forming a border around your vegetable garden with marigolds or onions are ideal for repelling slugs. Wood ash can be used as mulch, and if put on the base of shrub and tree seedlings, will keep insects away. You will be able to stay away from harsh chemical based pesticides by incorporating these techniques into your gardening.
  
  To keep dogs from disturbing your garden, spray some old aftershave, cologne, perfume or other strongly-scented products in the dirt or grass surrounding it. This will mask any scents that might attract your dog and make your garden less interesting to him.
  
  When gardening, don't use any broad-spectrum pesticides. These pesticides will kill every type of pest in your garden, including beneficial bugs that eat garden pests. In fact, beneficial insects are more likely to die than pests if you spray these types of pesticides. As the population of "good" bugs dwindles, your garden may become overrun with pests. This might result in you having to use even more pesticides to get rid of the pests.
  
  Gardening gives you instant access to all of your favorite fresh fruits and vegetables. You'll feel great using ingredients from your own garden to cook delicious food. Apply these guidelines in order to get the most out of gardening.
