Lisa F asked:


I live in NC and I’d like to start a small flower garden in front of my home. It’s in an area that gets sunlight periodically during the day. I believe there used to be flowers there because there’s a decorative brick border around the area but it’s overrun with weeds and there are no flowers there now. The soil is pretty good I’d say…not too dry or hard. How do I start a flower garden? I’m interested in some periennials and some annuals…can those be grown together?

holiday? asked:


I have some planters full of dry dirt. What would be good to put in there and how? If flowers, what are some good ( low cost) flowers I could plant that grow well in summer in SoCal heat? The area gets some shade and sunlight. I also have a dog who loves to dig, so if there is something else I could put there, those ideas are good too. I have no idea!

cher I asked:


Husband wishes to experiment with different flowers (from seed.) I say great - what about a plan? Focal point? Other features? We’re stuck! I need pix and great ideas -pronto!!!

if this helps; Sidng is white, colonial style 2 story, some red brick front and chimney. This is mature landscaping area. Area underneath square bay window is bare although a little ground conver is beginning to take. Red metal roof above window. We’ve tried rhododendrons, roses and hydrangeas. All failed. So what to do? Please help with your ideas, pictures, web sites etc. Thanx!

I’m looking for a couple good plants to hang on my deck and some good potting flowers i can plant in front of my deck with some mulch around them… very sunny areas, especially in the afternoon when it’s the strongest! I live on a lake and the sun beams on the front of my home all afternoon. I don’t know a whole lot about plants so please help.

missytjg asked:


I want to plant some tulip bulbs so that they’ll be ready for my garden in the spring. I’ve always been told that you can’t plant tulips until spring. Can I plant the bulbs in flower pots and keep them in my house until spring? Or will they still not grow good during the winter.. I’m new at this.

Sunshine asked:


I’m going to start the flowers inside and then repot them outside is Miracle grow the best soil to use?
