I live in an apartment and my balcony faces north and is surrounded by big trees. It does get some sunlight but not a lot. I don’t want fake plants. What’s my best bet for plants and flowers that will survive in this condition.

I will be moving to a place and have no back yard to plant. Right outside my door, I can put a planter and I would like to plant flowers. I would like to have color throughout the year, all 4 seasons. What are good choices in New Jersey?

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?

I live in Zone 7b. I am wanting to do a flower bed next to my house facing east. My thumb is not green. Does anyone have any suggestions as to tall flowers for close to the house, mid-high flowers for the middle, and a good border flower? I would like to do a variety of different colored Foxgloves for next to the house and some Phlox for the border. Any suggestions?
There are no big trees nearby, just a tall thin bush/tree on the south side of the garden that doesn’t realy give much shade. Otherwise it’s pretty much open. It’s in Oklahoma, like I said, zone 7b. so it can get pretty hot. I really don’t want anything taller than about 4′ or so in the back right up next to the house, that’s why I was thinking Foxgloves. Something that is really too much taller than that would be too tall in my opinion. Any more suggestions? So far everything sounds great and maybe my thumb will have a tinge of green this year!

I am about to plant some window boxes and was wondering if there are any flowers or herbs that flies dislike and therefore would discourage from coming near the window boxes and therefore the house. Any suggestions would be great. 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.

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 am having a very small reception at my mother’s house during the middle of July. She said that we could plant some bulbs and have the flowers in bloom around that time. My wedding colors are pink and chocolate with a little bit of white, so those colors would be wonderful as I would really like to skip the florist. Thank you!
