The fire-hose-style nozzle goes from a light flow to a drenching shower, and can be used for cleaning concrete when adjusted to a nearly solid stream. The angled arm allows you to reach under foliage of delicate plants and also reach into hanging baskets. The valve slides easily with just the thumb.
For outdoor use, our editors recommend the Bloem Deluxe Watering Can with a dual-handle design and removable sprinkle nozzle. If your backyard has extra soil to be moved around, compost or mulch that needs to be added to garden beds, or any other heavy lifting and moving project, a wheelbarrow can help you haul hundreds of pounds! Traditional dual-handle, single wheel styles can be harder to balance heavy or unevenly distributed loads.
Single-handle two-wheel models are easier to balance, better for those with limited strength or when pulling over uneven terrain. Vines that clamber over a fence, trellis, or arbor add a layer of charm and interest to any garden. Flowering vines also attract pretty, little pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies. Consider cardinal climber, clematis, passion flower, honeysuckle, and false hydrangea. Small ornamental trees add character and structure to a landscape and provide a striking focal point.
Look for Japanese maples, which have delicate foliage, interesting bark, and lovely arching limbs; redbuds have teeny-tiny pink or purple flowers in early spring and pretty heart-shaped leaves; and smoke trees, which have clusters of airy seeds with reddish foliage that turns to orange in fall.
There's a flowering shrub for every season. Look for spirea, ninebark, and azalea for spring, and for summer bloomers, plant weigela, rose of Sharon, and butterfly bush new varieties are not invasive. Read the plant tag or label so you give it the right amount of sun and ensure it will survive winters in your hardiness zone.

Some plants seem to be responded greatly but some plants do not. I think i would start with a soil test so you can see what the pH and nutrient levels are like in your soil.
You may need to adjust the pH which greatly impacts nutrient absorption. Once you know if your soil is deficient in any of the major nutrients, you can figure out which fertilizer to use.
Hope that helps!! These tips are all very helpful. Insects such as ladybirds, ground beetles, and green lacewings will hunt and eat harmful insects. Ladybugs also pollinate your flowers. A lot of gardeners use pesticides to get rid of pests, but those chemicals kill the good insects too. In my opinion using beneficial insects is the best and safest way to have a pest free garden. Great tip, thanks! I included it as number 5 above as it is just so important! Glad I could be of help, Niki.
And sorry for the huge picture of a tree. This year I had a vegetable garden for the first time. I used galvanized water tanks for beds. Most things are growing well. The biggest challenge I have is to time the growth in a way that not every single tomato plant is giving tomatoes at the same time. I have the same issue with peppers. So, I have too many tomatoes at once but then I will have none in a couple of weeks. Great question Mariana! Typically, that would be because of variety selection.
Most heirlooms ripen over a period of a few months, producing new flowers and growing very tall. Hope that helps! We planted our first garden last year and it was a real learning experience for us. We would like to know what vegetables to plant together for watering purposes. We were told that some vegetables require more water and others less, so we wanted to plant those that used more water together to make it easier when watering.
Our garden includes tomato, potato, squash, zucchini, okra, radish, onion, jalepeno, cucumber, corn, bell peppers and green beans. We appreciate any help you can give us.
Hi Jason, Thanks for this — great question! Fruiting crops need even, steady moisture from the time they begin to flower until the fruits have formed. This is especially true for crops like beans, cucumbers, squash, peppers and tomatoes. Fast growing crops like radishes appreciate steady moisture as they grow from seed to root formation. I like to mulch my crops with straw or shredded leaves to reduce the need to water.
