A simple bench can be constructed from driftwood and two concrete blocks if your heart desires. A new rose bush can bring decades of splendor and enjoyment.
A quality potting mix that can retain water is a good choice when planting; you can even enhance your soil with water storing crystals. Especially on those gray days in winter it is happy to see the bright cheerful bloom of a flower, reminding that while its gray outside, color and the beauty of the green of nature is close at hand. Bed need to be on the smaller side so that they are easily tended to for weeding and harvesting.
When planning your garden you may also want to consider that there are different climates and frost dates within planting zones in a region, as well as heat zone maps that rate how much heat a particular plant can tolerate. If you use fertilizer, it should only be used during the active growth periods. Using lukewarm water, gently mist the plants, letting the moisture just land on the plants.
Summer is almost here and now is a great time to start. Now get gardening.
