Popular Garden Plants in Missouri: Some popular garden plants that thrive in Missouri include: Perennials such as coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and bee balm. Annuals like petunias, marigolds, and zinnias. Vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, squash, and corn. Fruits including strawberries, blueberries, and apples. Herbs like basil, thyme, and parsley. Gardening Techniques and Tips: To maximize success in Missouri gardening, consider implementing the following techniques and tips: Soil Preparation: Test your soil and amend it as needed to ensure proper pH levels and nutrient balance. Mulching: Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, particularly during Missouri's hot summers. Watering: Provide consistent watering, especially during dry periods, ensuring plants receive adequate moisture without becoming waterlogged. Pest and Disease Management: Monitor plants regularly for pests and diseases, and take proactive measures to control infestations using organic methods whenever possible. Seasonal Care: Adjust your gardening tasks according to the seasons, from planting and fertilizing in the spring to harvesting and preparing for winter in the fall. Missouri gardening offers a rewarding experience for enthusiasts of all levels, whether you're cultivating a small backyard garden or managing a larger plot of land.
