Prepare the soil, fertilize, plant, and grow to maturity three different kinds of annuals. --> ===Soil Preparation=== {{:AY Honors/Soil preparation}} ===Fertilizing=== {{:AY Honors/Fertilizing}} ===Planting=== {{:AY Honors/Planting}} ===Growing to Maturity=== Water the plants after planting them, and keep them well watered afterwards. Watch for pests and take measures to control them as early as possible. You can keep the plants blooming for long periods by "dead-heading" them, that is, plucking off the blossoms as soon as they begin to wither. Dead-heading prevents the plant from producing seeds, so it will try again by making more blossoms.
