How can I get rid of flowers to plant vegetables?

By admin | September 12, 2008

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?

    Just dig them up and make sure you get all of the bulbs or roots. They won’t grow back if their foundations are gone.

    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.
