I have a cherry blossom tree and it looks like it is growing a fruit. Doesn’t look like cherry’s thought. Looks like a round fuzzy green thing…just started growing yesterday. What is it and is it edible??

I’ve been trying to find some flowers, plants, and bushes to plant in my “island” looking area of my yard. You know when people put in a bunch of flowers and bushes and rocks and who knows what else.. I want it to be full looking and easy to take care of. I live in Montana.

I live on a Caribbean island. I’d like to put in a cut flower garden so I can do flower arrangements. Right now I have a lot of bird of paradise flowers, but I’m looking for some variety. I’d like to order some seeds from the US, and pick up whatever I can find locally. But I’m not sure what holds over well in a vase.
Know of any sites or forums on gardening in the tropics?

Just like there are gemstones to match your birth month, there are also flowers that go with the month you were born.  If you are thinking of an extra special birthday gift, look at Michigan flower shop ideas at online florists “Florist-flowers-roses-delivery”.  This website offers a wide assortment of flowers and flower arrangements for all occasions.  You can order flowers that corresponds to your recipient’s birth month.  Deliveries may be done within Michigan or in other States through tens of thousands of affiliate flower shops nationwide.

slscville asked:


I’d like to install a raised bed for vegetable gardening this year. I think this will allow me more control over the soil quality. What’s the cheapest and easiest way to go about it? Should I buy one of the ready-made beds available online?
In case I wasn’t clear, the soil is not my concern, it’s the actual bed itself. Should I try to build one, or buy one that snaps together?

Apparantly the home builder that I bought my house from did not put down some kind of weed or grass guard underneath the soil where my flowers and hedges are. Now grass is completelly taking over the bed. It looks terrible, I pull it often but it grows so fast I cant keep up with it. I heard using a grass/weed killer in your flower bed will kill your shrubs, hedges, and flowers too. Is there any help for me?

Georgianabelle asked:


I’m getting married on 2/20/10 and I was looking for some ideas for winter wedding flowers. My colors are light pink and espresso brown. I obviously know that roses are always in season, and they will be the staple flower in the bouquets, but I’m also looking for some supplemental flowers for the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. I want to stay away from red flowers (too cliche around Valentine’s Day) and I like the more traditional blooms. Also, I live in Minnesota, if that makes a difference regarding my selection. Thanks in advance!
