`(;ardening Basics
`Cmada olfer1 a complex growing envirvnmenl Whe11 planllng
`ourdoo11 choose plants that are native to your area. If a plant is sold
`in your local store, chances are that it will be suited for the climate
`in your a1ea. Before purchasing a plant it 1s besl to read the plant tag
`thoroughly and decide if il suits yoLir garden needs
`
`There are 3 basic categories of plant> :
`
`Annual> are plants that. complete therr
`entire life cycle, from seed to seed in one
`growing season Annuals have the potential
`to reseed and grow into a separnte plant
`the next season and their reappearance
`year after year can lead people to mistake
`.~nnual1 lor perennials Common annuals
`rnclude I lowers such as pelunlas, 1mpatiens, (
`daisies and also vegetables like cucumbers,
`rPppers and tomatoes
`
`Biennials take two ye~1s to go through
`a c~omplete life cycle They grow and
`estabii~!1 themselves the first season by
`mostly producing foliage In the second
`season they bloom, set seed and die.
`Hollyhocks and parsley are examples of
`biennials
`
`Perennials continue growing, blooming,
`;md seeding for a numbei of years The
`root system or bulb, and someclmes the
`stern and foliage, last through the winter
`Peonies, tulips and hostas are common
`pe1ermial plants as well as sh1ubs,
`evergreen and deciduous rrees
