Getting a Spring jump-start on your garden

It's mid February, cold weather is coming and going and thoughtful planning now assures a quick jump-start once the weather cooperates.

The plants you choose for your gardens can really complement and balance your landscaping. Selecting a variety of types will allow for diversity and also assures that if a disease attacks one species chances are that others in the bed will survive. The same applies to trees and shrubs.

Be sure when determining plants for your front yard to note the colors of your siding, brick and trim. Selecting plants that repeat those colors helps bring symmetry to your landscaping and home. Keep in mind that Bellevue's planting zone is zone 6 when selecting new plants for your yard. And utilizing magazines and books for plant and landscaping ideas will help tremendously. Our local library and on-line sites provide endless resources.
