How to make your summer garden look lovely



A colourful summer garden is far from being a mirage with the help of a Garden centre Brighton. Nestled amidst the idyllic village locales is a Poynings garden centre that stores all kinds of garden supplies. Nature's answer to the scorching sun is seen in the multi- hued blossoms of the summer plants and vines like Begonias, Calibrachoas, Fuchsias and Black-Eyed Susans as well as the green hues of leaves. One can add a splash of sunshine yellow, gold, white or orange to the summer garden with Black eyed Susans which have a cute brown eye in the centre or cultivate Fuchsias for a vivid magenta or pink-purple colour. The summer can neither wilt the pink, yellow, salmon, red Begonias nor the yellow, white, bronze, magenta, red, blue, violet and pink Calibrachoa flowers. The theory of survival of the fittest in the summer garden holds true and also to a large extent the survival of the flower beds, trees and bushes with surrounded by mulch as it has water and nutrients retention capacity.

A bi-weekly watering schedule is enough for a summer garden if watered by a hose with holes evenly spread over the mulch. Placement of plants to suit their compatibility with natural heat and light through a long summer can help retain a verdant lawn or garden. Smaller plants and flowers should be in flower beds around trees or along a wall so that they are protected from the harsh glare of the sun at least for one part of the day. Planted in hanging pots or standing pots positioned for equal shade and sun increases their chances of survival. Not all summer plants can thrive in extreme heat therefore one should make a note of plants that grow in full sun, full shade, partial sun and partial shade. Desirable results can be had with an accurate estimation of indoor and outdoor planting time of seeds, germination time, transplanting period, flower and fruit bearing time.
