  A garden is more than just a way to decorate. It is also more than just something people with green thumbs can do. A garden provides its owner with serenity, contentment, and a deeper understanding of the things in life that truly matter. The dividends you yield are considerable, in particular when you mature into a great gardener.
  
  A lot of annual plants prefer the cold winter months. These plants can become a bit leggy and need to be pruned back to look their best. This will allow them to bloom again, creating a beautiful contrast to the brown that dominates winter gardens. Annuals that look pretty in cold weather are petunias, snapdragons and dianthus.
  
  If you have a lot of low-growing plants to take care of in your garden, purchase gardening knee pads. Gardening is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable; you don't want to finish every gardening session with aching, throbbing knees. Investing in a comfortable pair of knee pads made specifically for gardening can really reduce the pain you may feel from the pressure of being on your knees for extended periods.
  
  Increase your property value with landscaping. One of the best things you can do to increase property value is to have proper landscaping. Some plants can even raise your home value about 20%. Get low moisture plants for your garden and yard that are suited for your environment.
  
  Clay soil can be very hard to work with, and you will often find that it sticks to the shovel. Rubbing wax on the shovel prior to digging can kick this challenge to the curb. The clay won't stick to it, and the end will not rust as an added bonus.
  
  To make it easier for large trees or shrubs to develop good root systems, plant them in the fall. Given that the soil will be warm in comparison to the ambient temperature, and the plants will be free of foliage, they will be able to dedicate nutrients and energy to growing stronger roots than might otherwise be possible.
  
  Develop your garden plants around the colors that can end up blooming in fall. Most deciduous vines, trees and shrubs look most beautiful in the autumn, when they transform into fiery oranges, vivid reds and glowing yellows. It is at this time that the plants cease production of chlorophyll and their natural pigments begin to be revealed. For maximum color, make sure the shrubs and vines get plenty of sun, most of it during the afternoon. If you are interested in these kind of colors, purchase maple, boston ivy, chestnut, barbery or burning bush.
  
  You should always have a planting calendar when planning your garden. This will tell you what you need to plant each season. Used properly, it will also be your go to tool for proactively preparing ahead of time, including timing what types of seeds to buy and when in the year is best to purchase them. You might want to create your calendar on paper so you can refer to it easily, or you could use a program on your computer to create and store it.
  
  Protect the soil around your vegetable plants with an inch or two of organic mulch. The soil around plants can stay damper through the use of mulch. It also keeps weeds from growing. This could save you lots of weed-pulling time.
  
  Regardless of whether you plan to garden on your own or in a group, these tips will still be beneficial to you. Take what you have learned here, and help your family enjoy gardening, get together with your friends or just have fun by yourself.
