-look for trees with large roots. It is best to have the root system larger than the top tree growth itself.
- Dig a hole 2 to 5 times wider than the root ball. Remove any grass or weeds within a 6' diameter circle around the tree. Build a ring 6-8" in height around the tree to create a watering saucer. Cover with 3-4" mulch, either store bought or made with bark, wood chips, compost, pine needles, etc. etc.
Flowers, Perennials - divide and conquer:

-agapanthus, garden phlox astilbe, aster, bleeding heart, coral bells, daylilies, and shasta daisies.
Flowers, Annuals
No garden would be complete without annuals and it's a great time to plant your bursts of color along borders, in planters and in your rock gardens with beautiful annuals such as...
-forget-me-nots, dianthus, English daisy, sweet William, and violas.
