Spring plants?

What are spring flowers and or foods that grow great in spring or summer?

Spring plants?
It really depends on where you live and what you'd like to grow.





Spring bulbs (like tulips, hyacith, daffodils, etc.) are gorgeous but they need to be planted in the fall. Other spring flowers can be planted in the spring, but depending on where you live, certain plants perfom better in certain areas and then there's the hardiness factor...tropical plants that thrive in Florida will die with the first frosts in Minnesota!!





I suggest taking a trip to your local garden center to see what they have in stock. They should have plants that are hardy to your area and will perform well for you. Talk to the employees to find out what does well in sun, shade, and what watering requirements they need. If you don't have time to spend watering a plant that needs a lot of it, then go for a plant that can take dry conditions.





I like to grow native plants, because they are perfectly suited to my climate, don't need any special care or extra watering (so they are "green" so to speak) and the perform beautifully.





Foods...again, that's dependent on where you live. Most fruits %26amp; berries are perennial (meaning they'll come back year after year) but most will produce in the summer. Others, like veggies, you'll have to plant each year. Ask at your garden center, they should be able to help you.
