What to plant in spring?
It’s warming up, which means it’s the ideal time for your gardens to flourish.
What you plant in spring though, will depend on the climate and soil conditions of where you live.
If you live at Amber by Living Gems in beautiful Logan Village, flowers, fruit trees, vegetables and herbs can all be planted in early spring.
You don’t need much space to cultivate smaller-sized vegetables if you have a relatively sunny spot.
Hanging baskets, pots and small planters, raised vegie gardens, or self-watering courtyard planters are good. Just watch your water upkeep as soil can dry out very fast in the heat, and that will spell the end for your plant quickly. Some homeowners also opt for vertical gardens such as solar-powered, self-watering hydroponic set-ups.
