Deadhead Flowers Regularly
No, you don’t have listen to the Grateful Dead (though it would be cool if you do). It just means you have to remove the dead flowers regularly so that there is room for new ones to sprout. Aside from encouraging more flower buds, deadheading will make your plant look neater. You can do this by using hand pruners, pinching flowers off between your fingers, or shearing the plant back by roughly a third. Deadheading has to be done throughout the growing season.

Make Sure To Rotate Crops
It’s vital that you plant different species in one spot of your garden every time you start your yearly gardening. Different plants use different amounts of nutrients in the soil and a few plants even add nutrients. By simply moving crops around your garden you ensure that the soil remains nutrient-filled. For example, you can alternate between a tomato and a bean every year. Or you can replace broccoli grown in spring with peas.
