Climbing plants and vines are great for covering fences and wall structures. These climbing plants will help beautify an old fence, and they are fast workers too. You may also be interested in training them over an arbor or trellis. You can also grow them among existing landscape trees and plants.

Plants such as clematis, wisteria, climbing roses, or honeysuckle are always great choices.

When winter arrives, you can save some plants by placing them in your home. Choose the plants that are most likely to survive. Dig around the roots carefully and transfer the plant to a pot.

Carbon Dioxide

Plants need ample amounts of CO2 to reach their maximum growth. A high level of CO2 provides an optimum environment for growth.

Irises should be divided. Splitting up overgrown groups of irises will allow you to easily increase the number of irises in your garden. When foliage is dead, lift bulbous irises.

Cut several new pieces out of the outside and get rid of the old center. Each piece should retain a minimum of one sturdy offshoot capable of spurting new growth. Set your cuttings into the ground right away.
