PREPARATION OF GARDEN BEDS FOR SUMMER FLOWERS
For a good growth and exuberant blooming, summer flowers need a sunny and warm
place, as well as nutritious, permeable, and moist soil. They do not like a too moist soil
and stagnant water. Fertilisation should be moderate because if it is done too exuberantly,
it stimulates the growth of stems and leaves on account of flowers.
Garden beds should be cleaned of weed, the soil loosened and watered. In the middle
of the garden bed, higher flowers should be sown or transplanted, around them
a bit smaller plants, and at the border of the garden beds, smaller flowers should be
planted.
High plants with a weak stem should be offered support. Climbing plants, however,
need a certain framework which they will be able to climb up on.
