Please suggest some plants which will flower all 12 months in shady garden?
The only flowers I know that will be there all year would be silk or plastic.
Reply:It depends on where you live... Begonias and Geraniums last all year in most places (as long as they are protected from the North wind in winter).

Bulbine is a tubular, almost-grassy looking plant with yellow/orange blooms. It withstands heat and cold...

Cyclamen (sp?) does well in shady, cool spots but need lots of water.

You can experiment with different flowers, just put some mulch over the soil in the pot for protection against the cold and against water evaporation.
Reply:no such flower exist.

Need some help with planting a flower garden!?

Hey Everyone!



I am moving to a new house in the next couple weeks and noticed that the previous tenants had a small flower bed in the front of the condo.



I have never planted my own garden before, only helped my mom. What is the best way to do it? Should I plants seeds or potted plants?



Also what are some suggestions for easy growing purple, pink, yellow %26amp; white flowers? can you grow gerber daisies?



Your help would be appreciated, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff!! Thanks!

Buy bedding plants at your local garden center. They will be in packs of 5 or in 4 inch starter pots. They are likely separated there by sun or shade, so choose plants for the amount of sun your flower bed has.



They will also be divided by annuals and perennials. Annuals will bloom all summer, but not return next year. Perennials usually only bloom for a few weeks, but will come back next year.



DON"T forget to buy some bags of mulch to put down, or you will have a bed of weeds before long, too.
Reply:I'd buy plants as it is getting late to start them from seed this year. Pansy's are easy and come in many colours, even black, even though they are annuals they will readily self seed for next year. Primroses also come in many colours and grow easily. Lily's are also nice and in assorted colours as well.

I have dug up my entire front yard over the last couple years and I go mainly for perennials and then fill in any bare spots with the annuals I particularly like.

Good luck and happy planting.
Reply:The type of flowers you can plant depends on several things; the light (shade, part shade, sun), the drainage (does the soil stay wet, or dry under normal conditions), the Ph level of your soil), the type of soil (clay, sand, etc), and how much work you want to put into it.



Visit your local nursery to get ideas of what will grow best in your area. And you could ask your Mom as it sounds like she knows how to garden. I'd imagine she'd be happy to hep you.
Reply:It's easiest to use plants, not seeds/ I recommend petunias, if it is realtively sunny. Just fluff up the soil and stick them in, about 6-10" apart. You might want to mix some composted manure in the soil and/or mix in a slow-release fertilizer, such as 'Osmocote' for best results.
Reply:well luckly i know a lot about planting about the plant it pots i think it would look much better not potted in plants if it's by your condo. And You can grow anything you want but some flowers you need to be careful where you put it.
Reply:u should be able to grow almost anything just have fun with it.

I like potted plants so you can read the labels on pot thy kind a tell you about the plant and how to plant it

Are there any plants with shallow roots for a bed along house?

I have a flower bed, roughly 2'x20', that I want to liven up with some plants--anything, even if just ground cover. The problem is that there is little soil before I hit landscape rocks. They were most likely put there by the previous homeowner.



I think the obvious solution is to dig out the rocks. I have gone out several times with a wagon, intending to take out the rocks. Each time I end up talking myself out of it after seeing how much work it will be. I was wondering if there is something I could plant that doesn't need much depth of soil.



At this time, I have three fairly large flower pots spread out evenly. It's not enough. It's too plain. Any ideas?

could you make a raised bed?



you could just simply get some railroad ties, drive some stakes in to make them stay put, and fill the boxes with dirt, and have ample room for some nice plantings.
Reply:Use the rock you take out as a border......put you some mums in there since fall is here...
Reply:Any type of moss would due , the rock's would work in there favor since the roots will cling onto it . great ground cover . happy planting............
Reply:Try Portulaca . Very drought tolerant %26amp; will self-sow , for subsequent years, if the soil is exposed to light . Also , look for seed , to fill in . It starts flowering in about 4 weeks, so there is still time . For something perennial, Hens %26amp; Chicks ( Sempervivum) %26amp; groundcover-type Sedums will work well . They aren't as colorful as Portulaca, though.



You could try some smaller(or even larger) pots between your current pots.

Reply:You don't say how far down the rocks are located, so this is only a guess on my part. Your location would also help to establish what plant would grow well in your locale. Iam going to go out on a limb here and suggest the "azalea". It has a fiberous and shallow growing root system and all the roots are found within the top foot of soil. They also make for a nice flowering shrub in the spring, and stay green after the bloom is done to add a nice touch to the front of the house. Hope this answers your question..

What can be used to fill container plants?

i will be planting several flowers in large flower pots; what can be used as a filler in the bottom, as the plants won't need so much soil.

What can be used to fill container plants?
Bust up an old styrafoam cooler - really light as opposed to rocks. Companies always trying to give away those darn packing chips that fly everywhere
Reply:Rocks are good natural rocks not bricks or crushed concrete. I always put a little gravel in mine to help with drainage.
Reply:I fill mine up about 1/2 way with packing peanuts....those styrofoam things..............
Reply:When I transplanted my plants to extra large pots,I took the pot they were in and turned it upside down in the bottom of the pot.Then sprinkle soil around the sides to fill in the pot.Put the plant in and add enough to hold it....

A flower pot falls off a window ledge 10.0 m above the ground. Its velocity as it hits the ground is?

u=0,S=10m, a=10m/s^2, v=?

using v^2-u^2=2aS.

v^2=2*10*10

v^2=200

v=14.142 m/s. ANS.

A flower pot falls off a window ledge 10.0 m above the ground. Its velocity as it hits the ground is?
gravity is about 9.8 mps or 32fps idk the velocity with out knowing the time it took to hit the ground though srry :(
Reply:Initial velocity is 0.

Distance is 10m.

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s^2.

Final velocity unknown.



No time is mentioned.



So what which equation do you use?

Is is considered rude to puke into flower plots?

As an Englishman I like a drink and quite often I exceed 20 pints of Stella in one nights drinking.My problem is that I live in a very up market area and as I stagger my way from the pub I am conscious puking the contents of my stomach into the street would be seen as rude and not in keeping with the area.To get round this problem I only puke when I am able to find a flower pot in somebodies garden as I walk past, thus keeping the streets perfectely clean.

Oh so that's why my flowers don't grow huh? Next time I'll leave the puke bucket outside the door--why don't you petition that angle, puke buckets all along your route home?!
Reply:lol...Try a drain hun!
Reply:That's not nice. You should take a bucket with you to the pub. Leave it outside, and then pick it up as you leave. If you need to puke on the way home, you can use that instead of peoples' flower pots.
Reply:not to me it isnt =)

How do I revive potted flowers?

I recently brought some potted flowers to work. I'm not even sure what type of flowers they are. They're yellow and I guess they can pass as miniature sunflowers. Anyhow, I think I might have over watered them because a couple of days ago they started to wilt. I noticed that the bottom of the pot they were in was full of water, so I drained it out and put the flowers in the sun. They still haven't came back to life. Does anyone has any suggestions?

How do I revive potted flowers?
Fill a bucket, sink or basin halfway with water. (With the container only half full, you won't need to worry about overflow.) Make sure the container is large enough to accommodate the entire pot, all the way to the rim.



Plunge the plant (in the pot) into the water-filled container. If the rim of the pot is not covered by water, add more. It's all right if water covers some of the foliage. You may need to weigh down the pot with a brick or a stone to keep it from floating to the surface.



Keep the plant in the water for at least a half hour after the bubbles stop, to assure that the soil is completely saturated.



Remove the pot from the container and allow the plant to drain.



Place the potted plant inside a large plastic bag and close it tightly. This step will provide much-needed humidity to the foliage while the roots go back into action. Keep the bagged plant in a shady area.



Remove the plant from the bag and move it back to its original location once it has revived (this could take as little as a few hours, or several days).
