Tip #3: Begin planting annual bedding plants in flowerbeds and containers.

If weather forecasters say there will be no more frost, you can begin planting annual flowers. If you will be planting in existing flowerbeds, remember to refresh the soil by tilling or turning in a 1/2-inch layer of organic matter such as mushroom compost, composted cow manure or your own homemade compost. If you are planning on building new beds for annual flowers this season see: How to Plant An Annual Flowerbed After planting flowers, fertilize annual bedding plants with long-lasting granular or capsule-type flower food that will last for the entire season or as directed on label with a well-balanced flower food. If you like feeding your plants on a more regular basis, use a water soluble fertilizer to liquid feed every week or two, or on an as-needed basis. You may also want to broadcast Treflan Weed Preventer Granules over your newly planted flower bed to control weeds for the entire season.
