About Flowers

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?

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.

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!

I want to plant a flower garden in the front of my house. My problem is that the spot that I want to garden gets a lot of rain because of the run-off from the roof. This is the only spot that I can put a flower bed for the front of my house. Any ideas on some flowers that are easy to grow?

I know when it’s hotter out you need to water your plants and flowers more often, and I’ve heard that you shouldn’t water your flowers everyday, unless it’s hot out. But, my question is, how much water should I give my flowers. I have a variety of flowers in pots. I’ve heard you should water them until it starts to drip out from the bottom, is that true? Can you over water flowers?

I want to plant some colourful flowers in my garden, but I’m a complete beginner. I’d prefer some that are already flowering and which will last all the way through to the autumn.

Does anyone have any ideas? My garden gets about 4 hours of sun each day. Thanks.

I just saw a cool christmas craft on tv. White paper flowers on a styrofoam tree shape. Use some white branches randomly on the sides and place a single chocolate cupcake on the branch here and there. They also used the white flowers in a 2 big bowls on either side of the tree! Would look great on my table but I never made tissue paper flowers.

How long after the flowers bloom on a lime tree will the limes come?

A lot of my flowers have bloomed but im not sure when the limes will actually come? Does anyone know?

I had them last year in my garden and I can’t remember what those flowers are called. I’ve also seen them with orange petals and purple centers. They kind of look like shasta daisies. The one thing I know for sure is that it’s not a cone flower.
they aren’t gerberas, cause they don’t come like that

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and as they are slowly dying off, I was wondering if I could somehow plant them in the ground, and have it grow into a plant. After all, flower seeds come from flowers, right?
