Annuals to the Rescue
Annuals are plants that live for one season and then die. While they live they grow and flower profusely. Even if your landscaping plans have not been finalized make use of annuals. Soil preparation is important for permanent plantings. Most annuals will perform adequately in less than ideal conditions. Plant annuals as temporary borders and beds for color. Use seeds instead of flower packs if the budget is tight. After the beds have bloomed or when the plans are finished dig up the annuals, or turn them over to provide 'green manure.' Don't be surprised if the annuals reseed themselves as an added bonus.
