Reply:lol You're welcome. =P Report It
Reply:I already planted everything except 2 sweet breath of heaven that are waiting for hubby to dig the holes. I planted thyme, basil, oregano, tomato, peppers, spearmint, parsley, fennel in the food garden. In the window boxes I planted, geraniums, petunia, vinca, and some hens and chicks. In the hanging baskets I planted, petunia, geranium, spider plant, sedum, ivy and impatients. In the beds, I planted freesia, columbine, upright fushia, hydrangea, boston fern, rose of sharon, oleander, dwarf peter pans, jasmine, begonia, peony, aloe and a jade plant. I probably won't stop there, though, everytime I go to the home improvement store I come home with at least 5-10 more plants.
Reply:I went to our local Green house and spent $98.00.I bough 6 green pepper plants.3 Lg tomato plants,6 cucumber plants,Mush melon and honey dew plants.Corn,green beans,peas,turnips,radishes,carrots,Onio...
with foods and gas prices the way they are I am going to try and can and freeze all I can.I am thinking of making salsa this year and Spaghetti sauce.I always freeze my Onion and green peppers.I am also going to buy a dehydrator.I did buy a few flowers and My Kids and Husband Bought me a Beautiful flower for Mothers Day that is very Lg and will come up every year.
Reply:Don't have one right now. (boo hoo) I live in an apartment. But the balcony is as full as I can get it with pots. A bamboo I dug up on the side of a road, a miniature banana tree, poinsetia left over from Christmas, I even grow herbs and cherry tomatos and have a grape vine started. Don't know how I'm gonna handle that when it gets big!
Reply:Tomatos, cucumbers, onions, radishes, bell peppers. All I have to do is buy the lettuce and have lots of salads.
Reply:grass, no time to garden this year!!

Could perennial flowers be considered a type of "groundcover"?
I am just trying to clarify for myself the different categories of plants in designing a garden.
I pretty much have catergorized as thus:
1. Deciduous Trees
a. Lawn Trees
b. Flowering Ornamental Trees
2. Evergreen Trees/shrubs
3. Deciduous Shrubs
a. Flowering
b. Non- flowering
4. Decidous Groundcover
a. Flowering
b. Nonflowering
5. Evergreen Groundcover
6. Vines
I am trying to decide if i can leave it at this or should i make seperate categories for "perennials" like flowers. But I think that flowers are used as "groundcovers" arent they?
Could perennial flowers be considered a type of "groundcover"?
I can see why you're confused. The important point here is that in garden design, the plants must be classified by function, not by type. There are as many ways of classifying plants as there are designers but to get you going, try feature, focal point, groundcover, climber/wall shrub, structural, filler, do you see what I mean? classify them by function ie what they are doing for your design. Now as to perennial flowers, try to refer to 'perennial plants' or 'flowering plants'. A flower is part of a plant not a plant as such. The only plant with a perennial flower is an artificial one. Flowering plants can be used for all sorts of design purposes.
Reply:Yes, imo. There are low plants such as woodruff and crown vetch that are low to the ground and spread. However, there are also high profile perennials as well... so it would be better to list them separately, but keep in mind that their use could be for ground cover or vine-like as well.
You didn't list annuals or bi-annuals in your list.
In planning a garden, you also need to break it down to
shade, partial sun and full sun. Keep in mind, just about
all trees 'flower'.
Also groundcover is different than flowers. Groundcover is normally used to cover areas where you don't want grass.
short junipers, vines and even mulch is considered a ground
cover.
When planning your garden, first consider the amount of sun
and the sun's direction during the day during the growing season. Then plan on your tree placement, as you don't want
the trees' shade to fall on the beds that require full sun. Then
work with your flower bed arrangements. Take in consideration
also the type of soil you have and what growing range you
are located.
Have fun!

What type of flowers should a VERY novice "gardener" start with?
I know zilch about gardening, but I'd like to plant and grow some flowers -- the kind that are for cutting, so I can have fresh flowers available to put in my home or give to others whenever I like. The more colorful and the larger variety, the better! What should I begin with?
I live in central Florida -- figured my geographic location would be helpful. :)
Thanks!
What type of flowers should a VERY novice "gardener" start with?
You're in a great "planting zone" there, and looks like you are off on a grand adventure!
When I first started growing cutting flower gardens, I bought plants at a nursery. Gerber, pansies, petunias, marigold. Once I had more experience I started growing them from seed, which is an adventure all it's own! Naturally it's much cheaper to buy seed packets than pots or flats, and there are many which you can direct sow, rather than start in little flats.
Marigolds, for instance. If you get the packet, make sure they are not a dwarf variety, for a cutting garden.
Cosmos, a beautiful graceful bloomer...place it at the back of the garden, as it gets rather tall.
I, too, bought a small box of wildflowers from my local superstore, for a buck. This is the first year I've had any success with that.
Pansies and petunias are really easy to grow, but they are not great for cut flowers. You'll want something rather taller and more robust.
Snapdragons, celosia, dianthus, dill, statice, zinnia, yarrow, aster, zinnias, are some I've really enjoyed.
Here is a website that gives quite an extensive list of both annuals and perennials that are perfect for cutting gardens:
Reply:There are some very showy flowers that you can grow inFlorida that are easy to work with.
This amaryllis bears eye-catching, red single blooms with a sparkling velvety sheen. The increasingly popular African strain produces huge, beautiful flowers on shorter, sturdier stems.
Despite the funereal connotations of the white Calla Lily this spectacular flower should find a home in almost every Florida garden.
The Dahlberg daisy is a wonderful little daisy-like flower for the spring and summer garden.
Daylilly flowers can provide a wide variety of forms and color to your garden. The species, and older and newer cultivars produce flowers that may be triangular, circular, double, star-shaped, or spider-shaped.
The list goes on and on.
Reply:petunias or bleeding hearts, hostas are great in a garden, some even flower, and they are easy to grow. petunias want full son, and so do bleeding hearts, they like lots of water too. hostas like partial sun, if you get a blue hosta, they dont like much sun at all, the blue leaves will fade and lose their glossy.
Reply:Bulbs of any kind work well. The iceplant would be very good for you and also petunia work well also. Good luck.
Reply:My favorite are the Pelargoniums, commonly known as geraniums. They come in a lot of different varieties and are very easy to grow. They have some that have very fragrent leaves, and some that hang like ivy. It's usually pretty easy to grow them from clippings too. Just keep them very wet until they take root. You'll really enjoy collecting all different types!
Reply:You can get a mix of flowers for sun or shade, most can be used for cutting. You might try "straw flowers" they are fun and keep blooming into fall.
Beards Tongue is very pretty perennial, it will spread and blooms alot and come back every year. Great cut flower!
Lambs ear pretty much grow themselves and look awesome with flower cuttings. Super easy %26amp; Great background to any garden.
Lavendar is very easy to grow and smells wonderful, there are many varieties, try the "butterfly" one, it continually blooms from May - Sept. Trim it back in the fall and it should triple in size within 2 years.
Marigolds are easy to grow. Sunflowers you can get different sizes %26amp; types, they take virtually no care other than water %26amp; sun. They look fun in cut flower boquets.
Have fun!
Reply:zinnias are beautiful and colorful, cut flowers, they are drought
tolerant and grow in sun.....
Reply:have a rose bush
Reply:Marigolds and pansies are very hardy and easy to take care of. I would go with those for your first time. The only thing you need to remember about most flowering plants is they need LOTS of water constantly!! Good luck!!
Reply:I'd go with Sun Flowers. They grow well in Texas at least and they come in different sizes.
Reply:start with bedding plants
Reply:Last year my son ,age 6, decided he wanted a flower garden. We got a box of wildflowers( for sunny locations). I have never seen such a pretty garden. Once it started growing it didn't stop. We threw in some sunflowers also. The wild flowers come back every year.

How can I stop flower boxes from being stolen in the front garden?
I have a ground floor flat which is pretty close to the pavement and I want to put up some flower boxes on the window ledge. How can I stop them from being stolen?

Sad as it is to say think you would have to screw them down adn maybe plants also that are not as freindly with thorns.:) Hope you have better luck.
Reply:Concrete, or big bolts. Unfortunately, there's always going to be some idiot who will steal this kind of thing - and the worse bit is, they won't do it to feed a drug habit, or even buy food. If they do get knicked, you'll probably find them in pieces at the end of the road.

Reply:plant some cactus and nettles
Reply:A small motion light that goes on when someone gets close, have it shine on a sign that reads "stealing plants is bad Karma". Plant prickly plants around it, and/or place cardboard covered with honey around the flower box with a skull and crossbones signifying poison. It's probably the same people who think it's a fun prank, and have no idea how much your plants mean to you. Hopefully you'll be rid of them.
Reply:Mount a phony camera with a sign saying I'm watching you now thief!
Reply:Put them in the back garden!!
Reply:You could put something "gross feeling" like vaseline on the sides. They wouldn't likely proceed with picking the flower box up once they realized it was covered with an unknown slippery substance.
Reply:Fix a bracket and screw them in place.
Reply:Plant land mines.
Reply:screw them down
Reply:Just give up and emigrate to Spain. There the people respect and appreciate window boxes and plants outside your home. Here, well, there's not respect for anything.
Reply:Bolt them if possible or put blocks or someting very heavy in the bottom so that they would be difficult to carry
Good Luck

Do you know any thing easy and likable to put in a garden??
my dad is taking cars that have been in our backyard for years,especially a green pontiac grand am! my mom said that she was going to plant a garden if my dad doesn't put any more cars in the empty spots.
No,it's not flowers.it's vegetables
and have something besides lettuce and greens because my dad can't eat leafy green vegetables for a while and
plz don't say carrots.

Cucumbers %26amp; bush beans!
Reply:There are several plants that you cant grow here are a few:
Tomatoes
eggplant
cucumbers
onions
squash
zucchini
cantaloupe
watermelon
radish
beans
Kohl Rabbi (sp)
peppers
Here is a link with a lot of diff vegetables.... you might even grow some and sell them at the farmers market! People are always looking to buy fresh over store bought. Good Luck!
Reply:Zucchini and squash are pretty hardy veggies. So are green beans, turnips, and radishes. If you don't have a yard fence, put some chicken wire around the garden to protect it from critters.
Reply:Tomatoes.Carrots are hard to grow. Try some watermelon, pumpkin and canteloupe, they spread and take up a lot of space.
