i am thinking of making my own flower patch should i use seeds or pots?and should i use fake flowers?

Answer 1

One of the best aspects of living is the anticipation of what's to come, thinking about that candlelit dinner tonight, what'll happen? That cinema/theatre that we're going to next week, can't wait!.
Fake flowers? there all the time? eventually just part of the scenery, no feeling, just.... there.
Planting seeds, watching them germinate, seeing those seedlings, fresh and green, watching them grow nurturing them. The anticipation in your mind of how colouful the flowers will be and, when they do arrive, the pleasure of knowing you've seen them develop from a seedling to this gorgeous flower, and YOU did it! Geez, natures wonderful.The best things, are worth waiting for :-)

Answer 2

You are obviously new to gardening, firstly do not under any circumstances use fake flowers - that's gross. If I were you I would buy some potted perenials ( plants that come year after year ), once you have gained some experience I would then buy a few packets of flower seeds, but even then only ones that are easy to grow. Best of luck, you are starting an adventure that could end up being one of the most rewarding things you have ever done.

Answer 3

Please don't use fake flowers. I've seen this done and it looks ugly. Like the person wanted pretty flowers but was too lazy to actually plant them. Transplants are quicker but can be more expensive. Seeds take longer to grow but there is more variety. If this is your first patch, start with the transplants. Perennials are better because they grow back. Annuals don't. If you decide you do like flower gardening, then get some pots and good seed-starting soil and start your seeds indoors. You can start them indoors in the cooler weather (late winter to early spring depending on the flower) and you'll have good seedlings to plant out in the spring.

Answer 4

Early in the season you can use seeds and/or plants bought from a store. Use fake flowers for instant color or to accent the real ones, but remove them when they start fading.
I've seen nice 'potted gardens' too, but I prefer flower beds over them. Gives a little more room to play in. I have annuals and perennials in mine so I can change the colors around or plant something totally different every year.
Potted gardens outside require a lot more watering, too, since they have limited soil to draw water from.
I suggest trying both and see which one works best for you. There's no law that says you can't keep potted plants in a flower bed.
Just have fun with it, that's what I do.

Answer 5

Forget the fake flowers and grow your own, but do it in pots so that you can take them with you when you move and bring them inside when the weather gets bad. There's such an amazing choice of pots these days of all shapes, sizes and colour and you can plant seeds suitable to each type of pot. Go along to your local garden centre - they will be able to advise you on what to get, what to plant and most important, how much it will cost.

Answer 6

If you are restricted for space i.e. no soil, but patio, use pots and set seed or buy plants.If on the other hand you have a garden
I would recommend a layer of compost and plenty of water and then set your seed or plants.Remember in this dry climate without plenty of water plants soon shrivel up.last year I laid two bags of compost on a barren patch under a tree and then set winter pansies which gave a super display from October to June.

Answer 7

It all depends on what sort of accommodation you have, how much space and time you have.

If you live in a flat then you are better with off with pots. Also if you are pushed for time, or have a back problem.

But if you have a large(ish) garden and/or plenty of time then grow flowers from seeds.

If you want to see what looks in the space you have, talk to neighbours or someone from your local garden centre.

Answer 8

i'd use pots they are easy to look after and has each flowering season changes you can change the flower in them. Why not plant some bulbs in too ready for early spring

Answer 10

Use pots...or be sure you get late summer early fall blooming flowers. If you use the fake flowers, be sure to buy some fake gourds and melons and spray them with cooking oil so they glisten in the sun. (lol)
