You don’t have to be a master landscaper to create a garden full of beautiful blooms; you just need these easy-to-follow instructions.
To complete this How-To you will need:
A soil test
A landscaping plan
Bulbs, small plants, or seeds
Gardening tools
Fertilizer
A garden party
Mulch

Step 1: Test your soil
Test your soil to find out what nutrients it needs. Garden centers often sell do-it-yourself kits, or you can arrange a test through the Cooperative Extension System, a national agricultural network. Find a nearby Extension office on the USDA web site.
Step 2: Pick flowers
Choose your flowers based on which varieties will do well in your climate, and whether you want annuals, which live for a year, perennials, which bloom for several years, or a combination. Also, consider whether you can handle high-maintenance flowers, like roses, or prefer less labor-intensive ones.
Tip: Alliums, bearded irises, daffodils, daylilies, impatiens, marigolds, nasturtiums, poppies, and zinnias are among the easiest flowers to grow.
Step 3: Consider seeds
Decide between Planting bulbs or small plants, or growing flowers from seeds. Seeds require more work, but are less expensive.
Tip: Seeds offer more options because you can order just about any flower you want from a seed catalog.
Step 4: Plan your landscape
Plan your design, including placement and colors. Position smaller flowers in front of the larger ones. Make sure to place blooms that require a lot of light in a sunny spot.
Step 5: Till the land
Prepare the soil by digging out grass and weeds with a spading fork, raking away rocks and debris, and then breaking up the soil with a rototiller, shovel, or hand trowel. Next, work in any nutrients your soil needs with a hoe. Finish by raking the land into a smooth surface.
Step 6: Plant your flowers
Plant your Seeds or bulbs according to the package directions, and then water the area.
Tip: If you add mulch — a protective covering around plants such as sawdust or compost — wait until the flowers are a few inches tall. Don’t overmulch: An inch should suffice.
Step 7: Fertilize
Add an extended-release fertilizer. Use your soil test as a guide for which fertilizer to use.
Step 8: Keep them watered
Water your flower beds whenever the surface soil begins to dry. Giving them a good soaking a couple of times a week is better than daily light watering.
Step 9: Show off your blooms
Have a garden party to show off your blooms.

Start your own Seeds to save money, grow different plant varieties, and extend your growing season.

Seeds
Plastic sheets, wrap, or bags
A light source
A warm location
Bleach solution
Tray to hold pots or flats

Tray to hold pots or flats
Step 1: Prepare pots or flats
Wash the pots and flats in warm soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly and drain.
Tip: To kill fungi and bacteria in previously used pots, soak them for 30 minutes in a solution of 10 parts water to 1 part bleach, then rinse and drain.
Step 2: Prepare seed starting mix
Purchase seed starting soil from a local nursery, or mix your own. The ideal mix contains equal parts garden soil, vermiculite, which is a kind of sand, and peat or compost.
Step 3: Moisten seed starting mix
Add water to your soil mix, but only enough to lightly moisten it.
Tip: Do not overwater. Waterlogged soil can cause rot and prevent germination.
Step 4: Plant seeds
Plant your seeds according to the depth and spacing instructions on the seed packet, and then lightly cover them with soil. Gingerly press the soil onto the seeds and sparingly add water over them.
Step 5: Cover pots
Cover the pots with plastic sheets, wrap, or bags to create a greenhouse effect and keep moisture in the soil.
Step 6: Set in warm location
Set the pots in a warm location, such as a water heater top, refrigerator top, or sunny window. Check the soil moisture daily and water only when needed. Do not over water.
Step 7: Remove covers after germination
Remove the plastic covers once the seeds begin to sprout.
Tip: After germination, place the pots in a tray, and add water to the tray. Watering from the bottom prevents overwatering and helps thwart a kind of fungus that can kill seedlings.
Step 8: Provide light
Place the germinated seeds in or near a sunny window. To encourage straight growth and prevent a thin, weak stem, place the new sprouts directly under a light source, such as a fluorescent light.
Step 9: Harden-off plants
When your plants have several sets of leaves, and the weather is warm enough, set the plants outside for increasing lengths of time. Start with 2 hours, and gradually work up to leaving them out all day.
Step 10: Plant your Garden!
You’re ready to transfer those flowers and Vegetables you worked so hard to cultivate to the garden. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
