Flower Garden Planting & Maintenance

austinmy<3 asked:


I have a 6×4 septic lid that is flush with the ground I am planning to plant flowers on top of. I plan on covering the lid with soil and planting herbaceous flowers on top, since nothing else is safe to plat near a septic. If this works, how thick should I make the soil and will the flowers be able to survive? I figure annuals may, but will it be enough for perennials?

It has been very warm for the past 2-3 weeks. Today is was in the 80’s. Very sunny and beautiful. So I bought 2 bushes I think they are called “Roderdimdrum” (spelling is probably off) and I also bought tons of Panzys and a few other delicate flowers. I was planning on planting them tomorrow but the forecast says we are in for a very cold cool down. The tempertures are supose to drop to 30 degrees by day friday and 25 degrees by night. They even say we may get some snow flurry and frost.

Should I hold off planting my plants/flowers?
If so can I keep them indoors?
If I plant them now would they likely die from the cold or could I cover them with plastic?

Any answers will be great. Thanks

The foliage for the irises and the daylilies is too similar and they are quite dense together. I’d like something with different foliage that will not be overwhelmed by the other flowers foliage. The bed is partial sun/shade.

i live in northern oklahoma and this is always a problem each year. mulch is not an answer as the wind blows most of it away.

jenn asked:


I live in an area where the temperatures reach about 115 degrees in the summer. I want to start a garden with a mix of flowers, but I don’t want to start planting and have everything die because it’s so hot. What would be some good plants/flowers for me to start out with?

I don’t have very much shade in the front of my house here in florida and most flowers I buy seem to die quickly.What type of plants are best in the sunlight?

Corine asked:


I plan on planting the flowers in a fairly shaded area in my front yard.
I plan on planting in my front yard in a fairly shaded area. I’m only renting the house until next July, is it even worth planting?

I hatched and raised some chicks and I used kitty litter for their bedding. Now I wonder if it’s ok to use that in a flower garden. I know that the chicken manure is good, but is the kitty litter itself bad? as far as I know it’s just clay.
