your soil to see if it is slightly acidic. Bulbs grow best in slightly acidic soil, which has a pH between 6 and 7. You can test the soil by using a kit from a home improvement store. Scoop a small sample of soil into the kit's vial, then add the included chemical to complete the test. If your soil needs to be adjusted, you can find amending substances at most gardening centers. To raise the pH, mix limestone into the soil. Lower a high pH by mixing sulfur or aluminum sulfate into the soil. Wait for a hard rain to fall, then watch as your yard dries. Most bulbs grow better in well-drained soil. Any spots that have pools of water a few hours after the rain stops should be avoided. A few bulbs survive in damp soil, such as some species of daffodil, summer snowflake, and snake's head. You can amend poorly-draining soil by mixing sand about 8in (20cm) deep into it. Bulbs generally grow better in areas that receive 6 or more hours of sunlight a day. A few varieties can bloom in shade as long as the soil receives moisture and drains well. For easier growing, keep your bulbs in sunlight. Watch your yard as the day progresses to see which areas get lots of sunlight. Snowdrops, begonias, and caladium are a few bulbs that may grow successfully in shade. During the spring and summer months, watch the planting area. If you already have other plants in your garden, you may spot some places that look a little empty. These spots are often good places to add bulbs as companion plants. For example, tulips, crocuses, and daylilies can all bloom together. Add lamb's ear, dogwood, and other plants to fill in your garden. You can also clear out a spot in your yard and use it to create a new garden. Once you have found a good spot, figure out how much growing space you have available. Take a tape measure and mark the planned boundaries of your garden. Each bulb variety needs a different amount of space to grow, so plotting out your garden helps make it look more cohesive once the bulbs bloom. Information on properly spacing out your bulbs can be found on the back of bulb packets. Draw a blueprint of your garden on paper. In your drawing, begin determining where you will place each bulb. This depends on what bulbs you choose and how much spacing each bulb needs. Also group bulbs to maximize your garden's colorful aesthetic. For example, plant all of your white lilies together, then plant white anemones on the other side of your garden for balance. Include red tulips and blue crocuses near your white flowers for color contrast. Plan on having larger, fuller plants, like shrubs or tulip bulbs, in the back of your garden. Note bloom times on your sketch to maximize blooms throughout the year in different spots in the garden.

Each lettuce plant requires 46in (1015cm) of space and a depth of about 8 inches (20cm). Choose a pot that can accommodate these measurements. Purchase pots with drainage holes on the bottom.

Dig a 46in (1015cm) deep hole and place your seeds inside at about 1in (2.5cm) apart. Limit your seeds to 4 per pot to avoid overcrowding the lettuce as it grows. If you want to plant more than 4 seeds, prepare several pots ahead of time. Take a handful of potting soil and gently sprinkle it over the newly-planted seeds. Fill a spray bottle with water and gently mist the seeds to avoid washing them away. If you don't want to wait for seeds to sprout, you can plant lettuce seedlings instead.
