Free Garden Catalogs

any good links containing garden plans or designs? ?

I am trying to plan my very first garden for next spring. I'm very confused. I'm not sure what to plant in the fall and what to save for the spring. I have some plants in containers such as, asiatic lilies, trandwinds hibiscus, calla lilies, bell flowers, and datura moonflowers. Can I keep these in the house over the winter or do I have to plant them beforehand? I'd also like to have a fall garden this year. Am I too late to plant one? I am having a hard time designing the gardens. That's why I've waited so long so if anyone knows where I can find some sample plans, advice on the aspects I should address as I make my designs or anything I maybe forgetting before I start planting please send your advice or some good links, books, etc. Thanks!

1. 1. Go to this link and click onto a plant on the left hand side of the screen. This will show you how to grow that plant: http://www.gardenersnet.com/flower/mossrose.htm 2. One of the best things you can do is get a beginners book from a book store or library. It will teach you about soil, mulch, compost, tilling, moving plants, when to plant what. 3. Send for free gardening catalogs and get acquainted with the different types of flowers/shrubs/trees.
