yep.. that's a vague question. so here's some vague answers:
Annuals in garden beds need the appropriate light, appropriate amounts of water, and fertilizer. Choose the right plants for your application. If you have a sunny bed, choose full sun annuals. if it's shady, choose shady ones.. you can tell by the little symbol of the sun on the plastic tag on the pot.
In my garden, I usually prepare the soil. I layer some commercial potting soil (a cheaper one) on top of the soil and spade it into the earth. This breaks up the soil and adds organic material.
I try to loosen the roots that have wrapped around the pot before I plant them.. then they go into the hole that I made for them in the flower bed. I make it just larger than the root mass.
here's the big one.. FERTILIZE! When I plant, I water the plants in with water soluble fertilizer.. like miracle gro.. the blue stuff. I mix it at twice the rate recommended and water the plants well. Then I spread some osmocote. it's a gradual release fertilizer and will feed your plants all summer.
After that, put down a layer of mulch around the plants... about 3" deep. It looks good and helps keep moisture in the soil and keeps weeds down.
After all of that, you'll need to water them once in a while. poke your finger into the dirt and if it feels dry, water.. if it's wet, don't.
I raise all of my flower beds. It looks nicer and is better for the roots.
hope this helps you!

Annuals are a delightful burst of color for your garden. Here's how to tend to these plants after you've planted them.
Instructions
STEP 1: Mulch most annuals. Use a mulch such as grass clippings, wood chips or pine needles. Mulch suppresses weeds, conserves moisture and prevents some soil-borne diseases. Apply a layer 1 to 2 inches thick. STEP 2: Keep annuals appropriately watered. Refer to the label. Most annuals are fairly thirsty - they'll need about 1 inch of water per week, either as rainfall or watering. It's better to water them deeply and well occasionally rather than giving them just a little water here and there.
STEP 3: Deadhead them regularly (see Related eHows). Nearly all annuals do best if their spent blooms are trimmed or pinched off every few days. This not only keeps the plant tidy-looking, it also encourages the plant to produce more flowers.
STEP 4: Tear out annuals when they're spent. For cool-season annuals, this usually means that hot or very cold weather has hit. For warm-season annuals, this usually means a heavy frost has blackened their leaves. Dispose of healthy annuals in a compost heap. If disease has been a problem, put them in a separate area or in the garbage.

properly, you have the vet bill for floating the horses the teeth two times a 300 and sixty 5 days, and customary photographs and verify-ups (fee relies upon on vet), AND emergency circumstances, yet we could desire that would not take place. Then, you have farrier costs each and every 5 to six weeks which additionally relies upon on the farrier and the form of shoe he places on, or if its merely trimming. you apart from could desire feed and/or suppliments and that still relies upon on the kind. Tack and kit are a diffrent tale, and that still relies upon on what style, what form, and what form of drugs. You a minimum of are looking around $800-$one thousand a 300 and sixty 5 days.

What type of annuals and where, what climate are you in? Different flowers/plants need different care and the climate matters.
