Garden & Landscape - March 2007

I want to start a flower garden, but I don't have any experience. Can someone give me advice how to get started, and what flowers are easy to grow for beginners?

I see this plant all over the place outside but apparently the lawn mowers get to them before the pretty little blooms have a chance to grow is there a way to grow it indoors? I think this plant is extremely fascinating and would like to take photos of the blooms.

I have a young sweet gum tree planted in a small front yard. I know these trees can grow to be very large. I would like to keep this tree smaller in height and width...no more than 30 feet high and no more than 15 to 20 feet in witdth. Is is possible to keep these trees pruned to this smaller proportion? Also, I have a sprinkler system in this small yard. Will the roots from this tree interfere with the sprinkler plumbing?

I am looking for red anemones or poppies to use in bouquets for a July wedding, and have been unable to find any to order (no help from local florists either considering budget restraints). Do I have time to grow my own? I am in zone 9-10. Any specific varieties?

I have one that a friend gave me. At first it looked ill and had some kind of mold in the dirt. I replanted it and watered it all winter and now it is starting to look pretty good. My question is - How big will it get?

I have a spider plant that has suddenly sprang to life. It is full and green. My questions are - Do I need to put it in a larger pot? and How do I tell if it is root bound?

I'm tired of buying vegetation killers and having to re-apply them several times a year. I want this grass and weeds DEAD! I am never going to want growth between my pathway cracks, or between my patio bricks, etc. seems so redundant to keep spraying over and over. I want a more pernament fix. Is there anything more powerful to use? Something that destroys grass/weeds forever?

I put a post on here a few wks ago & some1 suggested WalMart by the flowers & stuff.
Well, this past Sunday I went & looked in the areas by the Fake Flowers & the Garden Center, And couldnt find any.

I've tried the Home Depot & Lowe's websites & had no luck.

I guess it's not very popular in Arizona. I live on the outskirts of Phoenix & am lucky if I get mail twice a month out here in the Desert Country, so I dont wanna buy this stuff online. I know some1's taking my mail that I like ie Gardening Magazines so the odds of me get'g these r slim to none.

So where else can I find these in Phoenix?? ~ they're for a Bamboo Tee~pee.

Last year I planted some hostas here in central Indiana around the beginning late summer of early fall. I also planted a number of other perennials around the house. Most of my other perennials are starting to protrude out of the ground, but I see no evidence that my hostas are coming up. Should my hostas be coming up by now or am I a little over anxious. I'm wondering if they were killed off during winter. Does anyone know when they start protruding out of the ground. I've heard they are very hardy, but they are on of the few perennials that hasn't come up yet.

I just moved here from Wisconsin and I am really looking forward to starting a garden. I know in WI you can't really plant until May. I am sure that it is sooner here. Also how do I find out what zone I am in and what grows well here? Thanks for the help!!!

New buds and small bright green leaves are forming above and below the large old leaves. But the old leaves are basically dark, with only partial green. Plus of course they are much larger at this point in time.

I kind of thought with the mild temps and a little spring rain that they might pop up a little earlier this year.

Last year I planted eatable plants in pots on my lawn. The landlord puts all sorts of crap into the lawn, pesticides, etc. What are the chances that my potted plants, and thus probably my body, became contaminated. I would like to grow them again this summer, however this time I would like to be as informed as possible. Thank you very much.

I have a pretty large plot to work with and i have never done a vegetable garden yet. I am looking for different ideas for root veggies that can be stored for long periods of time or frozen. They have to be root veggies or the dog will eat them. Any ideas or sujestions about veggie growing would be great. Thanks!
