I have no idea what plants I should be putting in the raised beds or around the pond or anywhere else in the yard for that matter. Need help laying out what to lawn, where and when.

As we've asked before what do you want from the garden? This will guide the decision more than anything else.
  • Do you like the maintenance of the lawn?
  • Do you have kids that need a place to run around?
  • Do you want a veg garden that will provide pounds of food over the season?
  • Do you want low maintenance perennials?
  • What about a small orchard and or vineyard?

Lawn and garden maintenance is easy and interesting if you understand the procedure. First of all test the pH level of the soil. The pH level should be between 5.0 to 7.0. Always remove the weeds and cultivate the soil before watering. Fertilize your lawn 2 to 4 times a year to reduce the growth of weeds in your garden. The best time to mow your lawn in summers is at morning and early evening when it is cooler. Prune your plants regularly to prevent them from over growth.You can refer http://infinitygardens.ca/blog/brighten-up-your-garden-with-these-winter-flowers/ for planting ideas. It had few plant varieties which will brighten up your garden. Hope you find it useful.
