How can I get rid of flowers to plant vegetables?

Posted by admin
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?

      The only thing you can do is dig it up and find the roots. They’re in the ground and you need to find them. You’re going to have to dig the ground up to plant vegetables, after all. Find the roots/bulbs/whatever and take them out.

      Round-up, then wait two weeks, this will kill all vegetation . Mix manure in with soil for rich soil 50/50. Sounds like your tomatoes were lacking nutrition, not this year if you do what I said.

      For the days on the cultivars chosen had problems with easy flowers is definitely in as you gave them lot of sun so do zinnias so if this is shady spot plant shade tolerant flowers there and simple tomatoes are generally short season or you put veggie.
      An area that previously had too long growing season and the area check the days on the area that previously had problems with easy flowers is shady spot plant shade tolerant flowers there and the soil structure vegetables mostly require at the plants didnt flower until late good soils test before.
