What is the quickest flower to bloom?
Garden experts agree that calendula is the undisputed champion of fast-growing flowers. Germination occurs just five to 10 days after planting, and blooms appear within six to eight weeks. These flowers make excellent additions to vegetable gardens since they attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Flower seed packets rarely list estimated days to maturity, but most annual flowers need about 95 days from seed to flower. The ones that made my list start popping blooms in 60 to 70 days when grown under spring conditions, and they also tolerate light frost.
What’s the best thing to plant in October?
October is a great time to get ahead and make early sowings of hardy annual flowers and bedding plants, along with vegetable crops like onions, garlic, broad beans and peas. October is the perfect time to plant trees, shrubs, conifers, and hardy perennials—or spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils—and if you’re looking to sow cover crops or install lawns, now is the time for that as well.August to November provide ample daylight, allowing plants to photosynthesise effectively and produce robust foliage, flowers, and fruits. Reduced pest pressure: Pests and diseases are less prevalent during this season compared to the peak monsoon months or the scorching summer.
