Can someone update me everything I involve to know just about a year round garden? I live in NC. What would be some polite plants...
I live in NC. What would be some polite plants to get? Should I buy them already grown from the nursery, or seize seeds? How should I continue the garden? For example, I know gerbera daisies are perrinials in NC, but what do I do when they die? Mow them over? Will they only just grow back the subsequent year? I've already got regular shrubs, but I want something that blooms. Any info would be appreciated! :)
Your best bet is to drop by local gardeners and find out what works in their gardens. Most gardeners are flattered to be asked give or take a few their gardens, the problem is getting them to STOP, haha. Buy some plants that are already established for some "instant gratification" but also get a few seed and try growing your own plants "from babies." Try Dragonfly Perennials in Cary, NC (on the trellis at Local.com) or Messenbrink's Perennials in Nashville, NC. Every courtyard has "microclimates" that will affect any plantings-closer to a house is more protected, smaller quantity likely to frost, so you could put a more graceful flower. Far from the house or out in the middle of a patio is unprotected so you need more durable plants. Even the marine flow and how much you can and will water be paid a difference in what you can grow. Another great source of information is a local university that have a Master Gardener program or a landscaping program. They are usually vastly good give or take a few giving out advice! Good luck!
My first impulse, which I'm going to walk with, is to say aloud:
"No"
Because no one know "everything" there is to know in the region of gardening. Even people who own been gardening for decades are other learning unsullied things.
That said, Start small. A novice gardener who puts within a HUGE garden is likely to be promptly overwhelmed, and be left beside a dissatisfying feeling, and will be more inclined to bestow up on the whole shebang.
Grow a few things you similar to. Start with plants first. Starting seed inside is a whole research curve in itself. You can other pick that up later. Herbaceous perennials (ones that die to the ground contained by winter), you can remove the tops when they turn brown, just for aesthetics, but you don't own to.
Browse your local garden center or nursery. Ask questions, look at plants, be inspired, and with the sole purpose do one new entity at a time. (or maybe two)
