Knowledge is the first thing to get your hands on! Contact the county agricultural agent in your county to get free literature and the names of any Master Gardeners. Join a garden club or botanical society. Hang around plant nurseries and pick the brains of the staff about your problem plants and recommendations of what to plant for color.
Plow the field, clear the weed.
Then spray material so that weed won’t grow out of control in your garden.
Then shortly on, mix some soil and place some compost as well.
Then plant your flowers.
After you have planted all of your flowers. Then buy some mulch like shredded bark, leaves, peat moss over the soil.
Then you are set.
did the daffodils bloom this spring? if they did you can remove the leaves this summer if the leaves are subdue green. if they have already turned brown you can cut them off. when beginning to plant flowers you need to reckon of your climate and amount of sun. when you go to buy flowers check the stick in the plant for requirements for sunlight and make sure they fit you garden. Also apply some compost after planting to help growth.
Daffodils are ahead of schedule spring flowers. They will die out ahead of schedule, but the excellent news is that they grow from bulbs which if left alone will grow new flowers next spring. Just cut the ancient ones down to about and inch above the ground once their done for the season. You can add more flowers around them that bloom shortly in the summer. If you go to any greenhouse or plant sales outlet, let them know if you have full sun, partial, or full shade and they can recommend a fantastic flower.
Hey
Sounds like a fun project you have ahead of you! The daffodils, first of all must be taken out, you can dig them out by uprooting the entire plant counting the whole root. Then you’d probably want some new soil for the area. I would try a light potting soil maybe mixed with some top soil. Then, you can just be creative and check out what they have at your local market and garden center. Make sure you choose between perennials and annuals, and between the sun plants and shade plants. Gardening can be fun to shop for and even research. It’s all in the creativity and what you reckon you’ll be able to keep up with.
A few examples for flower types that you may want would be pansies, which are very tough flowers, and impatiens, which are akin to pansies. The petunia is a very well loved flower along with the marigolds. You can even add the spike grass which adds height. If there is a fleeting wall surrounding the garden, you could even deliberate the Lobelia which would trail over the wall. Color is excellent!
Delight in.

regarding the daffodils. Once the flowers have died cut off the flower stalk as fas down as you can reach and then allow the rest to die naturally.
Don’t try to do too much this year because you need to see what is already there.
attack your local library.- I establish this a wonderful source of information
visit garden centres – see what you like. Look at the different types of plants and shrubs and grasses etc. Look at the height of plants and the colour and shape of the foliage ( leaves)
watch the garden to see how much sun you get in which areas and how much shade ( and when the sun is there)
to get some colour this summer you will need to get annuals. But also choose some perennials that you can plant together.
an annual is a flower that will bloom all summer and then die.
a perennial will have a shorter bloom period but come back next year
delight in your new home and garden
Wait until the daffodil leaves turn yellow, then you can remove the leaves, they will bloom again next spring.
For summer color plant some annuals such as verbena, zinnia, vinca, marigold. Visit a garden center to see the types and varities available.
