Gardening can be a very enjoyable and fruitful activity especially if the weather cooperates.
Garden plants differ in their hardiness to both cold and heat, in their need for sunshine or shade, and in their tolerance of drought or excessive moisture. For successful gardening and landscaping, you need to understand the needs of the individual plants and the climate and weather conditions in your local area. Furthermore, the success of the homeowner can be maximized with proper use of weather information. Temperature and moisture are the key elements for the gardener to monitor through the growing season. Each plant has unique set of temperature requirements for germination, growth and maturation.
