Your plants will respond better to gradual changes in
temperature or condition. Put them outdoors in the sun outside for no more than
two hours the first day. As you continue the first week of the project,

will be more resistant and ready to stay outside all the time.
Select plants that produce higher profits and yield.
When you are mowing your lawn do not cut it as short as
possible. If you leave a bit more height, it will be able to absorb more sun
and moisture resulting in a lusher, which makes the grass less prone to drying
and other hazards. Short grass is more susceptible to drying out.
Most vegetables need that much sun to grow properly and at
a quicker pace. This also benefits some of the flowers.

gardening easier. Gardening also requires transporting heavy objects and lots
of dirt, so a wheelbarrow makes for a wise investment.

pants with plenty of pockets.
