Reply:Marigolds are a good plant for a beginner to grow..there are many varieties so you can mix and match with hues of different colors...once they take off and start flowering..They will increase immensely...When a flower dies down and crinkles up..pull that head off and dry it and save it..You pull it apart each head will have 30 to 50 seeds in each one...
Reply:Call your local Drug Enforcment Agency. They will be more than happy to come out and help you. Look in the phone book under the government listings. (Blue Pages)
Reply:Millionbells. They bloom like crazy all summer long and look like miniature petunias.
Reply:The answer to your flower needs is a fuchsia, begonia (is a tuber), or geranium plant, or all of the above. They are easy to grow and will bloom their little hearts out for you. They all require lite shade,not full sun, never allow to dry out. I have several and keep them for the patio every year. All that is necessary to over winter is to cut them back and place in a cool dry area such as a garage and pull them out in spring. I have had mine for many years. The variety in each of these choices is amazing. Color,size, and even topiary size are available. Just up to your imagination. Good luck and have fun.Reebok

Stem to flowers on tomato plants turn yellow and the flower dies What to do?

why does the stem to the flowers on my tomato plants turn yellow and the flower dies?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersThe plant is protecting itself, and it does so by dropping the flowers. Something is stressing the plant and it can be as simple as the night time temps are not high enough yet to set fruit or it may have a virus. It would take a ton of information to even begin to guess at the problem.
Reply:The plant probably has a fungus. A lot of tomato varieties are succeptible to virus and fungus diseases. I doubt if there%26#039;s anything to be done about it. If you don%26#039;t want to toss them and start over call the county extension service, take them a sample and they can confirm what you%26#039;ve got. Usually its not worth the time and expense of treating a diseased plant. But that%26#039;s up to you.





Next year try a different variety than you planted this year. Or plant antique or heritage seeds.
Reply:Dont know I,m having same problem, so cant wait to get your answers!!!
Reply:It sounds like the branch has been broken, or you needed to put a collar of paper or cardboard down where the plant comes out of the ground, so the cut worms can%26#039;t chew the stem.
Reply:Without looking at plants it sounds like you may be are giving them too much water. Tomatoes don%26#039;t need to be watered every day if in pots. Too much water, if plants survive, will cause your fruit to burst open when ripe. Cut back just to keep soil moist, not soaking. Also if in ground, water late at nite. If ground is wet during hottest time of day, it will steam plants. Water when it has enough time to soak deap in ground before sun hits them. Hope this helps and good luck!
Reply:your tomato plant is dying Either to much water or not enough, Is it in a very sunny area it needs lots of sun
Reply:many things can cause the plant to start dying,





if you water in the morning, or noon, try watering in the evening, you can scorch the plant if it is too hot when you water





try plant food, or adding soil to the dirt there planted in, as they may not be getting enough nutrition





see if there are any bugs eating off the tomato plant, this can also kill itloan

What is the best way to protect flowers and plants from the cold?

It%26#039;s supposed to go to freezing here in Michigan tonight and I%26#039;ve planted so many beautiful flowers already. I don%26#039;t want them to die. I%26#039;ve covered them with sheet plastic. Is there anything else I can do?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersSheet plastic should work as long as the edges are not loose so cold seeps in. The ground itself should help keep them warm under the plastic.
Reply:Greenhouse.
Reply:I live in Florida, and have had to protect my plants many times.





Consider: refrigerator boxes (go to your local large appliance and/or furniture store and scavenge their dumpsters).





Also... neat trick that I started years ago: Christmas lights. I realized my plants that had Christmas lights on them did much better in the cold than did uncovered lights. so I started leaving lights on all my cold-sensitive plants during the entire winter and turned them on during cold snaps.
Reply:home?
Reply:Plastic milk jugs work too. just cut the bottom off and secure it over the top. It acts as a mini green house. It%26#039;s good too if you plant your tomatoes alittle early.





If you know the cold snap is coming and will stay for awhile, for future knowledge, you can cover everything with leaves and or wads of newpaper. It acts as a protective mulch of sorts.
Reply:For long term protection use liquid seaweed products or potassium silicate. The only silicate products I know of commercially is called standup used on golf courses.visual arts

Where is a good place to buy cheap fake flowers/plants? I have space on top of my cabinets need to fill up!?

It is the space between the cabinets adn ceiling in my kitchen. I thought some fake plants might fill up the space...

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersTry a place that sells really good expensive permanent foliage and look for close outs or special purchases. In my experience there are many good places to buy cheap fake flowers but no cheap places to buy good fake flowers, If the flowers/plants aren%26#039;t really well done they make everything around them look cheap. Where as good quality can give your cabinets the visual boost your wanting. Good Luck!
Reply:try a craft store
Reply:Walmart, Kmart, Marc%26#039;s alot of the Dollar Stores have things like that too. Craft stores charge twice what these places would charge.
Reply:Check out Hobby Lobby when they have their sales, it is better to spend a little more on the silk greenery and flowers as they will wash up nice and can be reused. I only have greenery in a couple of places on my cabinets, then a display of old canning jars, teapots and other antique items that draw interest to the eye. Any jars or other items you put up will have to be set on little blocks of wood if you have the crown molding around the top of the cabinets. Hit yard sales as well and look for things that you can use as well as the greenery, check goodwill stores as well, you never know what you will find there. Good luck and have fun!
Reply:Get some real ones instead, they will improve the air quality in the room, and they%26#039;ll look better. Something that doesn%26#039;t like direct sunlight would be sensible.
Reply:Go to your local Joann Fabrics, they always have sales on fake flowers and greens.makeup tips
