we had a hard frost and it killed all the leaves that had already come out. Do we need to cut it back or will it come back out?

I live in kentucky and i just purchased night bloomer seeds and day lily plants, which came in sealed green bags. I have no idea how to plant any of these, or when. Do i need to use actual soil, or can i put them in the dirt? Do i need to water them, or will the rain be enough? Can i plant them now, or will they die (the temp is about 60 during the day and 40 at nite)? And what other plants can i mix w/ day lilies that will look nice and thrive?

I have bok choy from the market and want to plant my own. I don't have access to a wide variety of gardening seeds and I don't want to order anything off the Net. There aren't any roots on my store-bought bok choy but I've noticed the "heart" has buds steming from it. What can I use to grow my own?

I see several different formulations of fertilizer at store, but what is best to make grass grow. I have sprayed my yard with weed killer and now all that is left is bermuda grass,, I'd like to get it to spread and fill in the bare spots this summer. A guy at the store said he uses 10-20-10 on his garden,, but is this best for grass too?

We had an early and hot spring (several weeks over 85). It was beautiful, all the leaves and flowers bloomed, even the hydrangeas grew unseasonally large. Then we had a "dogwood winter", where the temperature dropped during Easter Week to below 27 degrees - Although we covered everything with plastic, it killed all the new leaves (even on the large Poplar trees). Will our established plants (trees and ornamental shrubs) re-leaf and survive? What about the perrenials? I am assuming the annuals will die? Is there anything I can do for them now that it warm again?

My husband tells me that you cannot plant seeds and expect fruit or vegetables from store bought produce. He says that they are some kind of hybrid seed that will not produce. Is this true?

My lawn has been neglected for three years. I just bought the house and the grass is brown in some areas. I want lush green grass. Where do I start? Should I cultivate the lawn and then plant seeds? When do I use a fertilizer or Turf Builder? Or should I just seek professional help instead of doing it myself? HELP!!!!

The place I am thinking of is clay soil, but has had evergreen-type leaves dropping onto it for a few years and then rotting down. It is in the shade of two large trees (although not under). I live in SW Britain, so there's enough rain.

I want to plant something productive - either fruit, vegetables or herbs, as it is an extention to my kitchen garden. If you can't come up with anything productive then feel free to say a flower or something.

TIA

Someone gave me potted tulips. They've already bloomed and it looks like the petals are just about ready to start falling off. I live in the upper northeast and there's still snow on the ground. There's supposed to be one more snow tomorrow (4/12) and I think there's a rule about when you can plant bulbs.

The tulips I got last year are in the garage, dead and they're still in they pot they came in! Please help these tulips live!!
