Do you know who wrote this poem...it is one of my favorites but can't remember. I really do want to know the answer to the posted question!
Do you plant your own garden, decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers?
I used to rely on others to make me happy until I realized that it is not to others to do so as much as it is to me and now I find true happiness in my Savior because He never leaves me nor forsakes me and sometimes people do. We are not to put our faith in them but in Him who died that we might live eteranlly with Him.
I don't know your poem's author,Peapie-hope you are doing ok with all you have to deal with but you know His arms are holding you.

New Home owner who knows nothing about gardening/flowers!?
My husband and I just bought our first home. We have been living in apartments for years and know nothing about gardening, etc.
We pulled up a bunch of dead flowers, bushes, etc. around the house and now want to replant some. We know that we should plant perrenials, as I don't want to do this every year. I would like something that brings a little color to the garden. We have three different areas to plant them in. Two of the areas are not shaded, one is partially shaded.
Any suggestions?

Where do you live? Knowing your climate is necessary for people to give suggestions.
Reply:Please be more specific,need to know where you're living,the situation (I.e seaside,mountain,farmland,etc;).Also,the aspect of your land (Which compass point does it face),the type of soil,(Sandy,stony,rocky,loam or clay).
Is the garden sheltered or exposed,all have a bearing on the most suitable plants.
Suggest a DVD or a subscription to a gardening magazine before investing a lot of money in what may be unsuitable plants.
Hope this helps,good luck with your new garden-it'll provide endless amusement!
OK,Back again.Buy a cheap soil testing kit.Check if the soil's acid,alkaline or neutral.
That'll give you an idea what type of plants will suit,any good nursery will advise and most plants are labelled.
Container grown roses are a good bet if the soil's fairly good.Considering the temps;mentioned they'd need watering well,but can be bought in bloom for an instant show.
There's a start for the sunny areas,consult a local nurseryman for the shady part.Ferns,hostas,lily of the valley and rock geraniums might suit,but take local advice.
Reply:One thing nice about mother nature - If you plant a flower it pretty much knows what to do. You definately don't need to be an expert to garden and you learn as you go. Go to the garden store and just plant what you love. Check the tags to make sure that you are planting in the right area (Full Sun - Part Sun - Shade) My absolute favorite Perennials are Daylilies. They are easy to grow and I love to find different varieties. Congratulations on your new home and gardens. I'm sure you will become an expert gardener soon. Gardening can be addictive.
Reply:Keep in mind that perennials start small, but get larger every year. You need to leave them plenty of space to grow. This means that for the first 2-3 years, your garden may look a little bare. This is why it is a good idea to plant some annuals the first couple of years, as a filler until the perennials get a little larger. Also, as they grow larger, they can be split into 2, and used to plant in another area of your garden. All things to remember when choosing your plants.
As for what to plant, go to a local nursery or garden center, and they will carry plants that will work well in your climate. Just find something you like. Each will be tagged with information about what type of environment it likes, from full sun, to full shade, to a mix of the two. Check how much water they require (some like a consistently wet soil whereas others don't mind a little dry period between waterings), especially if you're a "low maintenance" kind of gardener. Match the type of plants you like to where you'd like to plant them, and your style of gardening. If in doubt, ask someone to help you pick plants that will be a good fit for your garden and your gardening style.
Most gardening turns out to be trial and error - something you expect to look beautiful one place, you find a year later it just doesn't give you the effect you wanted. You can always transplant or remove anything that seems out of place or that you don't like. It will take several years for your garden to get really established, and each year you'll start to learn a little more about what you like, what works, and what will grow best.
Remember it's best to start planting by turning some fertilizer or compost into the soil, to give the new plants lots of nutrients to grow. Once you've planted, a nice layer of cedar mulch makes the garden look beautiful, gives off a lovely "woodsy" scent, helps your beds retain moisture, and makes it a little more difficult for weeds to take root.
Good luck and have fun!
Reply:A good thing to do is to visit a local garden center/nursery and discuss your situation with them. They will know what plants to suggest that will grow well in your area. They can show you what works well for sun, shade, etc. You'll also be able to see what they look like so you can narrow down your choices even further.
I am also in Southern NJ and a professional landscaper for about 20 years. I could list hundreds of plants that will work, but you should really see them first to get an idea for your garden design.
If you care to, you could list your town or at least county, and I will be glad to point you towards some reputable nurseries I have done business with. You can email me directly too, if you want more help. I am in Cumberland county.

Sick of my Garden! Can I move stuff around before fall?
I stare at my garden, and it seems like it's all messed up, tall flowers in front, shorter, stuff in the middle. I've been a little leary about moving stuff now, in August. I live in Rhode Island, so we don't get frost until November or so, but I have never really been up on when you can and when you can't move things with out killing them! Mostly Hosta, Beebalm, cone flowers, black eyed susans, small yellow bushy flowers that I forget the name of. I also have a new Rose of Sharon that sprouted off the mother plant, and is flowering, but shadowed and I would love to move that too, into a more sunny, prominent area. Any advice?
thank you!
Sick of my Garden! Can I move stuff around before fall?
I have been gardening for many years. I just started removing my garden and saw your question. The rule for pruning, dividing perennials is two fold answer. One divide when it is finished flowering. Two divide when it is dormant before it flowers. You get frost late so flowers are still blooming. I would plan what flowers when and what is short to tall. Unless you have a large flower bed try and plant tall in background or bulbs in the back so perennials cover them for the summer.
Time also to add compost to tired soil for roots and shoots. good luck, start reading garden mags.
Reply:hostas- I started with one plant and ended up with about 15 of them by splitting and transplanting.
as long as you are careful to keep the root system attached, you can move as little as one leaf and have a whole new plant the next spring.
from my experience, it is a little trickier with trees or small bushes. they don't like to be moved.
You need to be careful not to disturb or damage any of the root system.
when you first move things, they will look droopy but just water them frequently until they get their footing in the new spot. most of your flowers sound like hardy varieties that should do fine.
Reply:i don't recomened it. youu would be cutting it close. to transplant just before fall the roots wouldn't be strong enough for the upcoming winter.
Reply:You really need to wait until frost because that is when they become dormant. I know it can be difficult because most of these dye back to the ground, but one thing you can do is stake and label your plants while noting their height and width. By doing this you can dig them up and place them back in the ground in a way that works better for you. You can make out a diagram or create a garden plan now so that you know exactly how you want your garden to work.
Anyhow, I hope this helps a little.
Good Luck

When will my watermelon vine grow a watermelon? It is 2m in length and has small yellow flowers, but no fruit
A few months ago I planted two watermelons in my garden from seedlings. One has barely grown at all, the other has gone absolutely berserk and is at least 2 metres long and has 5 or 6 different 'arms' on it. A few yellow flowers have appeared recently, but no actual fruit to speak of. When (if?) will it grow an actual watermelon? Thank you
When will my watermelon vine grow a watermelon? It is 2m in length and has small yellow flowers, but no fruit
You have to wait for night temperatures to reach at least 50 degrees before the watermelon plant will start to produce female flowers, which is a tiny watermelon with yellow flowers just like the male flowers you probably have noticed on your plants. Once this occurs, it will not be long before the female flowers are pollinated by the male flowers, however depending on the variety of your watermelon, the fruit may not be harvestable for up to two months.
Reply:if you live in a very worm place have very good fertilize soil and vary moister not dry water melons need a Lot's water and heater and son should have fruit in 3Mont's.
Reply:the average time for the watermelons ive grown is 90 - 110 days. You still need to wait a month and maybe a half more. If your not sure if the watermelon is ripe, dont pick it. Wait. Ive done that to many times where i get so excited, yet the watermelon isn' t even ripe. You can even wait for the vine to die. Then your gaurenteed ripe watermelons, but make shure the fruits dont rot or even start to soften.

Prettiest and easiest flowers you have in your garden?
I have a 4 by 6 foot raised flower bed in my backyard that is currently flower-less and I imagine it just overflowing with colorful flowers during the spring! But I need some ideas on which flowers will survive out in a flower bed like that because there is no shade and they will get full sun and I am known as a flower killer because I tend to be forgetful. But I am willing to learn and make an effort. Please help! I want bright colors! lol
Prettiest and easiest flowers you have in your garden?
Hibiscus and hostas under close to them would more than fill your flower bed.Buy a variety of Hibiscus that is a perennial version..not the annual types.Comes in a varity of colors and so do hostas.Good luck!
Reply:It really depends on your climate zone.
Some of the easiest flowers that can thrive practically anywhere and are super easy are perennials! You buy bulk seeds and you can plant them anywhere that has full sun.
Places like Walmart and Target sell them in canisters, there are about 20,000 per canister but like I said they are not expensive. It sounds like your flower bed is the perfect spot for them-- as long as it gets full sun.
Remember, not all of the seeds will germinate (naturally) but just plant a bunch of them, keep them watered and they will grow in no time. Some won't flower right away but they have such lovely foliage. Others will flower right away and the various types and colors are so breathtaking. Soon you will see the ladybugs and butterflies and the garden will just explode with life!
You can research online how to take care of your perennials, it's really easy. The cool thing about the assorted seed mix is the variety you'll get.
Have fun and enjoy your garden! :)
Reply:I have some yellow coreopsis that do well in a very sunny spot.
Orange daylillies also do well. Peonies and poppies are good for spring bloom.
Reply:panseys, daisies, mums, impatients, begonias, these are all easy to maintain, colorful, and grow fast
Reply:Kind of depends on where you are in the country. For instance, out here in the cool Pacific Northwest, sunflowers tend to just sort of poke along -- while they take off like rockets in the midwest.
Tell us a bit more about where you are and we can make better suggestions.
Reply:well personally i like marigolds.they r easy 2 grow n dont take that much effort.they come in colours like yellow n orange.n there r various varieties.have fun gardening!

Pretty vegetable garden?
I want to use combinations of flowers %26amp; vegetables in my garden but I want the effect to be pretty, any suggestions?
Pretty vegetable garden?
There are some darn fine books on this subject that you will find at the public library.
So, I would never plant a strictly utilitarian vegetable garden, and in fact have gone to great pains to create striking ones. The most spectacular are always Formal Knot Gardens, in which you lay out geometric patterns in the garden area, the simplest to illustrate in words is 4 squares of equal size with a sundial or bird bath in the center. You follow? Then you edge these beds with your choice of greenery, typically something that will last all of the summer. You can go so far as to use a permanent non-vegetable material, such as dwarf box, or you can clip closely planted herbs such as hyssop or one of the very tiny-leaved dwarf basils. Then fill in the bed with either one type of vegetable, or another pattern of them. (example: diagonal rows of alternating red and green oakleaf lettuce.)
Be sure to bring in some height. It is always worthwhile to splurge on something that will add some real class in this department, such as a quartet of standard bay trees. Stunning! Also don't forget to throw in a few frivolously showy flowers for color and interest.
Reply:Taller growing sunflowers - you can then plant climbing beans under them and the stalks act as supports while attracting bees and giving you flowers. Can get sunflowers in shades of yellow, brown/red and orange these days.
dwarf sunflowers around the edge of the vegies gives you flowers and edible seeds
Violets flower and you can add the flowers to salads.
nasturtiums have edible leaves for a hot adition to salads, and the flowers can be shredded for a colourful salad addition too.
marigolds (African in the summer and English in the winter) are colourful, and the flower petals added to salads.
the herb bergamot is very bee attracting, has large red fluffy flowers, and you can use the leaves for flavouring
Chives have purple flowers in summer, are edible and you get the leaves for cooking
carnations are pretty in full flower, can pick them for the vase, and flowers are sweet flavoured and used for garnishes and added to salads (petals only - base of flower is bitter)
Reply:Flowers:
Marigolds, Day Lillies, Tulips, Other assorted flower bulbs, if you want bulbs so you don't have to replant every year.
Vegetables:
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Green Peppers, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Pumpkin. All of these have flowers as blossoms before the vegetable starts to grow.
Reply:Definitely marigolds around the perimeter only and nasturtiums too this site gives more a more detailed list http://gardening.about.com/od/organicgar...
Reply:Nastursiums are nice - orange and yellow flowers that are edible.

Why is my florist afraid to work with these flowers?
At the end of July, my wedding arrives. I'm not a 'Bridezilla" although I ve been through three planners, 2 photographers, and now possibly, at the last moment a new Floral decorator...Why?...Because, after quite a bit of research, I settled on a designer who i thought would easily meet my expectations...I decicided on varied height centerpieces, using a array of summer blooms such as dahlias, Cockscomb, Peonies, Hydrangea, viburnum, asiatic Lilies, Garden Roses, and anything else that may be available the week of my party. The colrs are a mix of all shades of pink, orange, peach, butter yellow and chartreuse...But now my 'Hero" informs me that due to poor crops around the world recently he will have a difficult time procurring these types of blooms, in these colors...(However, he CAN get the flowers I prefer in shades of Lavender, Cinammon, Chocolate,Celedon and Hot pink) Interesting, these are the exact colors (minus the pink) that both he and my Fiancee suggested. What to do?
Why is my florist afraid to work with these flowers?
Well umm you sound a little like a bridezilla it is your fiancee's wedding too he should get some say, besides it is just flowers trust me nobody is going to care what everything looks like i guarantee they will not even remember what color flowers you had, they are there simply to get fed their dollars worth of whatever gift they bought you and leave.
Reply:Perhaps you are asking the wrong question. From what you've said it seems there is a lack of the colors you want or is it the florist prefers the colors your future husband likes? For me, your question isn't clear. You imply that you are extremely particular, why would you "hero" lie to you? I suggest that you call the local floral warehouse and ask exactly what flowers might be available during your wedding week. If a warehouse is not available to you, call several local florists and ask the same question.
Reply:Call around and see if other florist tell you the same thing...if they do, then he is being truthful, if not...dump him and go with someone else....hopefully this is the only wedding you will have...it should be perfect.
Reply:As you guessed , he's probably lying . Why? - ???? The Viburnum %26amp; Peonies area stretch at the end of July , %26amp; they %26amp; Hydrangea don't hold up well in the usual July heat .Also become more expensive out of season .(What your fiancee is worried about?) Might be what he's worried about . If you are OK with that ( should hold up for the wedding itself - more than that - ???) let him know. Dahlias, lilies, %26amp; cockscomb , are most readily available in a mix , so the rest of it sounds like bs. Good Luck
Reply:How about Mums. They could fill in the colors the other plants would be missing? Also, consider flowers that could be 'dipped' in edged dye.
