September 6th, 2009 by garden Leave a reply »

Spring time is coming soon, and it is a perfect time to start thinking about gardening. Petunias are popular in many gardens. Growing them is easy. Here are some helpful tips:

Plant seeds around the last six weeks of frost indoors.
If you are simply transplanting, plant in the beginning of spring, after the last frost.
Petunias do best in a lot of sunlight, so make sure they have plenty of access to it.
Make sure to use loose, well drained soil.
Fertilize regularly (about every four weeks), you can even use Great Big Plants.
Any worn blooms should be removed to promote healthy, robust growth.
Typically, you can space them about a foot apart. This can vary depending on the variety.
It won’t be long before people get spring fever, so it is never to early to start thinking about that garden. take a look outside and think about some of the plants you want to see this year.
