I am planning my garden and need some ideas and tips?
Every year my mom and I design our garden around this time but I have been assigned to find the plants I want this year. We already have lilies and tulips planted, they’re so pretty. We have these three azalea bushes that I can’t wait to get rid of but I want more flowers that will be eye-catching and pretty. I don’t mind if I have to replant them next year. I really like Bleeding Heart flowers, they’re gorgeous. What are good flowers to plant in the early spring? I am thinking of planting a Cherry Blossom tree but I don’t know. Ideas?
I live in Baltimore, MD and the weather isn’t supposed to drop back down under 50 again and this upcoming week its gonna be high 60′s with rain 
The springs are normally warm…
I’m near the Chesapeake Bay–about ten minutes away by car. My neighborhood is mostly grass, my garden is against the kitchen and right next to my neighbor’s huge tree. My yard gets ALOT of water when it rains, to the point of little pools in the grass

If you get "little pools of water in the grass" you need a Weeping Willow Tree for that spot or maybe just a Joe Pye Weed flower which is very tall & loves moist soil.
If you want something "eye-catching" you need Oriental Poppies. You may still have time to plant these from seed. Peonies and Iris are also eye-catching.
I hope you don’t get a lot of shade from your neighbor’s tree because plants that grow in the shade are not usually eye-catching. Astible is one that is and it looks good with Hosta and ferns.
Hope this helps.
Go with what grows well where you are. Fertilize the azaleas. Panzies go well till june or so. I like (red) impatiens for the shade.
What is the climate like?
Need more info….where area are you located?
That will help us help you decide what plants to get.
Azaleas are WONDERFUL!!! Give them to me!!!!!!
How about growing your own food instead of flowers? It can still look pretty, and there’s nothing quite like eating fresh vegetables and fruits grown by your own hands. It also means you can eat good wholesome fresh food, as opposed to the ‘chemically grown’ rubbish you get from the supermarkets.
