I want to grow my own flowers for my wedding, which is end of april, but I need some help. I am thinking either tuplis or lilies. If I wanted either of those two when would I have to plant them to bloom by the last week in April?
I am not getting married until 2008 Not this April

For some reason this year, I’m getting a number of tall skinny red mushrooms growing in my flower garden. I have no idea what type of mushrooms these are. Everytime I remove one, it grows back in a day and they seem to be spreading. Any ideas of how I can get rid of them?

Inge asked:


I have an old tree in front of my home. I like to add a flower bed around the tree, but I am new to planting and gardening. Also, my lawn needs a lot of care. Last year my husband tilled part of our lawn and we replanted new grass, but our lawn looks very unhealty with a lot of try, burned like spots. What can I do to have a healthy lawn, and how do I go about creating my flower bed around the tree. I like to put a border around the tree like a small wall maybe. I want the flower bed be higher than the actual lawn. We have mostly clay dirt. Can you give me some advice and/or help. Thanks.

I live in st. louis mo, and was wanting to plant flowers in my front yard. I have no idea what-so-ever what to do. This is my first house. There are bushes planted in the front yard, with mulch. I would like to plant flowers that are easy to maintain, since i have 2 children and 6 mo. pregnant. I would like something failry inexpensive , but will cover the front yard, with a variety of colors. I have no green thumb at all, so any help would be appreciated…do they make gardening for dummies???

Thanks everyone ,
Lisa
