Can you keep flowers in a car over night?

winback asked:


I’m planning on buying flowers for my gf the day before valentine’s and keeping them hidden in my car overnight so I can get em out and surprise her in the morning. My only concern is whether the flowers will survive in only water overnight in the darkness of my car…anybody know if they can make it overnight?

How many flowers does a tulip plant produce?

Monday, August 11th, 2008
sahumansi asked:


I am planning to grow tulips in my garden. The flowers look beautiful but I have really not seen a second flower growing (after the first flower dies or breaks). I want to know how it works. After the first flower blossoms and dries up, do more flowers grow on it one after the other or the plant then is a total waste??

What flowers/plants to plant between now and the fall in Wisconsin?

Thursday, August 7th, 2008
princesscarmen24 asked:


We just moved and there is no type of landscaping in the yard. I would like to plant some flowers or flowering shrubs in the front and back. The front gets quite a bit of sun and the back is pretty shady. I am in Kenosha, which is southeastern Wisconsin, in the MidWest. I really like hydrangeas and dahlias, but don’t know anything about planting, care, etc. Please any advice for an extreme novice on a budget. Thanks a lot!

How can I get rid of flowers to plant vegetables?

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
library girl asked:


I have a flower garden approx 4′ x 20′. We have previously planted zinnias and other various flowers. We would like to plant vegetables…but every year the flowers come back. They don’t do great and look ugly. How can we get rid of them and enrich the soil to grow some vegetables.

Also what is wrong when tomato plants grow really large and have fruit, but the fruit stays green and never ripens?

I need easy flowers and plants to put in an entrance walkway?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008
Mandy asked:


We just bought our house last summer and we are totally clueless to landscaping. There is a flower bed about 6×1 right outside the entrance walkway. Ofcourse there is nothing but weeds in it right now but I would like to put something in there that is easy to maintain that can resist alot of direct sun. We’re in Texas and temps can get up to 105. Any ideas? Also, do I plant seeds or the flowers you get in the little containers. Much detail is requested as I have no idea what to do.
