Planting and maintenance: Planting is the finishing touch to all the preparations that have been made in the meantime. A garden grows and blooms and needs to be maintained. Of course, that doesn't happen automatically. It must be pruned, mowed and weeds removed. Not everyone has time for that. You have come a long way if you give your garden a good spring and autumn fair. This includes pruning, loosening the soil, fertilizing, tearing and replanting perennials.
