Can you plant plants straight into the ground?
You might not need to significantly prepare the ground provided the soil is of reasonable quality. From your images, it looks quite good, so you should be able to plant straight into it without the need for additional soil. You’ll want to remove the plants from their pots before planting. Another option is to tuck seeds directly into soil outdoors. planting seeds this way is called direct sowing, and it is an easy process that yields great results.The best way that I have found to plant seeds directly in the ground is to get the ground wet, sprinkles the seeds on top and sprinkle a little potting soil over the top of the seeds to just barely cover them. That’s it!

Do you need to water plants in the ground?
It is better to water the garden before drought really sets in, to keep the soil moisture levels even and avoid the soil being continuously dry. But, equally important, the soil doesn’t have to be really wet all the time because plants roots need air as well as water to grow well. Most plants need about 1 inch of water per week. So if you haven’t received an inch of rain, then you’ll need to give your plants a drink. Even if you have received rain, it’s still a good idea to check the moisture level in your soil to see if your garden needs additional water.How often you water your plants will depend on the plant itself. Some may need watering every few days, others will need to be watered once or twice a week and some plants who prefer a dry climate can get away with being watered just once a month.If your plants are in the ground (versus a pot), the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. However, this does NOT mean watering one time per week. That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain.Water your plants in the morning as early as possible. This allows the soil and your plants to absorb more water because, in the heat of the day, there is more evaporation occurring at the soil surface. Drip irrigation is ideal because it deposits water directly at the soil surface and can be targeted.
