Here are some wonderful spring gardening tips taken from the Farmer's Almanac.

Container gardening with flowers is a great way to instantly introduce color, fragrance, and beauty into our lives. It makes flowers part of any landscape—even on a deck, patio, porch, or balcony.

Container Gardening Tips

• Be sure that any container you use has drainage holes.
• Avoid small containers. They often can't store enough water to get through hot days. Large pots also insulate roots better.
• Clay pots are usually more attractive than plastic ones, but plastic pots retain moisture better. Consider a plastic pot inside a larger clay pot. Cover rim with soil.
• New lightweight containers, such as those made of fiberglass, plastic, or foam composites, also make moving pots easier.
• Use soil-free potting mix; not only is it light, but the fluffy blend provides roots with more oxygen and nutrients.
• Geraniums, nasturtiums, and petunias are classic, colorful container plants.
• Plant pansies in pots outdoors in early spring.

How to Plant

• To plant, place the container where you want your flower to grow. Be sure it receives enough sun.
• Add a one-inch layer of fine gravel, horticultural charcoal, or clay pot shards to the bottom of the container so that water doesn't collect.
• Fill the container 2/3 full with soil-free potting mix.
• With your hands, make a hole in the potting mix about the diameter of the pot.
• Knock the flower out of its pot, spread its roots slightly, and place it in the hole.
• Add more potting mix to bring the level up to 2 inches below the container top.
• Water gently, press the mix to reduce air pockets, add more mix if necessary, than water again.
• Feed container plants at least twice a month with liquid fertilizer, following the instructions on the label.
• Keep the planting medium moist. The container plant is totally at your mercy for water.
• As winter approaches in cold climates, you'll need to store the container flowers inside.
