Bre21 asked:


i live in Nevada. I have no clue whatsoever on how to take care of a lawn let alone plant flowers but i know i want to learn being this as our first house with a backyard.

Pretty decent size i’d estimate around 25×15. The grass is totally dead (if any at all) at the moment but the owners are planning on resodding it for us.

So any tips or websites on how to care for it and what types of flowers to choose for Nevada’s climate.?? Really want something low-maintenence.

I have my first house and I get to plant flowers! I’m so excited! I bought some flowers and I have planted them. I have a feeling I am supposed to be doing more though. I mean I just dug a hole in the ground, put the plant in, tried to break up the “bulb”, covered it with dirt, patted the dirt, watered and moved on. Do I need to fertilize? Should I have used special dirt? Any tips or good websites to visit? I have many more plants to plant as our landscaping stinks.

I just bought my first house, and I have no idea where to begin in planting and designing a flower garden. If it helps I live in Virginia where it’s a little warmer.
