Mulching is a great way to keep plants cool, and to help retain soil moisture. By putting a mulch around plants, you can help to create a shady and comfortable environment for them, as well as conserve water.
1. Start your garden in late fall or early winter, when the ground is cold but not frozen. This will help to promote root growth. 2. Dig a deep hole for your plants, and remove any stones, rocks, or excess soil. Make sure the hole is large enough for the roots of your plant to grow freely. 3. Fill in the hole with amended soil, and smooth it out with your hands or a trowel. Water well and give the plants plenty of sunlight and fertilizer. 4. Keep an eye on your plants during the first few weeks of growth - they may need water if there is a lot of rainfall or snowfall. Once the weather warms up, you can reduce watering in order to save water. 5. Harvest vegetables when they are ripe - usually around 80-90% of the way through their growing season. Signs that vegetables are ready to harvest include yellowing (indicating sugar uptake), a hard outer shell, and a bitter taste when crushed between your fingers.
It is important to choose the right garden location before you plant anything. Gardening in the wrong spot can be very costly, both in terms of water and nutrients wasted, as well as in terms of lost yield. Choose a garden spot that has plenty of sunlight, good air circulation and drainage, and a temperature range that is comfortable for your plants.
Watering plants is essential for their growth and survival. However, over watering can be damaging and lead to wilting of the plants. To check if the soil is wet enough, you can use a soil moisture meter. If necessary, you can water the plants gently, but refrain from watering them too much as this will only cause more damage.
Weeds can be a nuisance in your garden, and can take up valuable space. There are a few ways to deal with them manualy or using tools like hoes or weed whackers. Not using herbicides or pesticides means you won't be adding any harmful chemicals to your environment.
Perennials need a sunny location with well-drained soil, fertilizer and water during the growing season.
It is important to mulch and water garden plants in the fall to help keep the soil cool and moist through the winter. by doing this, you will help prolong the life of your plants.

Covering plants with a layer of mulch or adding a layer of organic matter can help your garden hibernate over winter. Mulch will keep the soil warm and protect the plants from wind and rain. Organic matter will help to feed the soil and create a rich environment for root growth in the spring.
