The desire for color in the garden is best satisfied by the
liberal use of annuals', perennials and bulbs in variety. All
three classes of plants have their place, because each has its
value as to season of bloom, height or mass of color.
Succession of bloom from early spring to late fall is the
goal of nearly every gardener. To achieve this consider first
that very few hardy flowers have an individual blooming period
of more than two or three weeks. Even annuals bloom only during
the summer. Therefore, even for a small garden, one may have to
select several dozen different kinds of plants' to assure bloom
from March to killing frost. Read More...
What are perennial bulbs? Bulb is a general term used
by gardeners for plants which are highly condensed; their
embryonic roots, stem, leaves and flower are all contained
within them. Their resting period will end and growth begin
when optimum moisture and temperature conditions exist. These
conditions vary as different bulbs have different flowering and
resting periods, but as perennials they will die down and
produce new growth year on year. Read

For small landscaping around your mailbox jobs you can buy
ready-mix products in sack containers. Some of these are
90-pounders (a cubic foot), others 60-pounders. Mortar mixes,
concrete mixes, grout, pointing mortar, sand, gravel, stone-all
may be purchased this way. But this is not the easiest or the
most economical way to buy large quantities.
Where you have a big slab to pour or a long walk, it's best
to consider calling in a ready-mix truck. With this setup you
get not only the aggregates, but the cement and water all
thoroughly mixed and ready to pour when the truck arrives at
the project site. Read

Anyone can work successfully with masonry materials for
outdoor fireplace landscaping and have fun doing it. It's true
that a good size job can involve considerable labor, but with
good planning the job—and the labor --can be stretched out over
a period of time. A large concrete slab can be gridded
(designed with a pattern of headers) so that the concrete can
be mixed and poured in comparatively small batches that won't
tax your patience or your strength. With brick and block faying
you can stop any time and pick up again when you're refreshed.
