I am planting a flower garden from seed in Yucca Valley CA, what flowers grow best in that desert area? I am moving to Yucca Valley in Jan(from Ohio) and want to be prepared to plant the seeds in early spring. I want flowers that will grow in the natural desert soil without adding topsoil and ones that wont need much watering after they are established. I have a lot of area to work with so I want to do areas with wildflowers and also regular flowers. Ive been doing tons of searches but surprisingly enough cannot find any one book or source for desert flowers, so am trying to figure it out by searching : arid soil, sandy soil, zone 9, full sun etc and then trying to pick out ones common to all the lists. Unfortunately, while I have found a lsome useful information about wild flowers, I've found very little on *regular* flowers.. So if anyone has experience with flower gardening in the Mojave/desert any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much . Mykiel

How am I supposed to prepare a garden bed for planting a small flower garden? I'm trying to rehabilitate a small strip of soil in front of our house that had been overgrown with weeds, and "decorated" with those little white decorative stones that haven't been popular since the 60s. I've spent two days getting all the weeds out, digging down to the roots for the bigger ones. Now I just have some mounds of dirt peppered with those damn white stones. What should I do from here? I was thinking to just cut my losses, and shovel the stones, dirt and all, into a bucket and buy new soil. (It's only about a 12 ft by 3 ft strip). If there's something else I should do, what is it? Also, I just want it to be something very simple, just a few annuals with some mulch on top. Nothing high maintenance (lest it turn into a weed garden again! :) Thanks!

planting a garden in michigan? This spring, I am going to be planting a garden around my house. We have an old Michigan basement, and was told that by planting flowers and plants around the house, we could decrease the amount of moisture that comes into our basement.

What flower, garden plant is this? I have a new plant/ flower growing in my yard. It's not a weed. But I just moved to the property and the lady before me had a pretty good sized garden... The one I am talking about in particular is in rather small bunches, but it's a rather large group. The leaves are similar to that of a daffodil, but they are shorter and they are curved and shaped like a boat at the ends. In the middle of one is a bloom... the bloom kind of resembles the top of a piece of asparagus. Its reddish-purple, and small. The bloomed has not bloomed yet, but it's just showing out of hte very center of this small bunch of leaves... If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it... Lily Of The Nile has the right leaves, but the bloom is like a top of a piece of asparagus, there really is no other way to describe it. Lily Of The Nile has more of a bulb that splits off to the several individual blooms. I dont think thats it. But thanks anyways. If it helps, I live in arkansas... Thank you answerer, I do believe it is a Hyacinth... Thank you very much...

How much topsoil do I need for planting a flower garden? I could really use some good gardening advice on this one! Okay, here's the situation: We dug up our entire front yard to put in an entrance to our basement. What was left there was a mixture of gravel and compacted clay-like earth. (the entire yard was interlocked before it was dug up) After sitting for a couple years while we renovated inside and spent copious amounts of money doing so :( we have finally got the yard interlocked and left a large portion for a flower garden. The workers brought in a dump of topsoil, but it's only between 3-4 inches deep. Beneath that is the hard, compacted clay stuff. So my question is how deep does the topsoil need to be to have a healthy flower garden? I would assume that water drainage could be a big problem. So do we have to dig it all up and bring in another load to make the topsoil deeper? Or can we just till it all together to about a foot deep so that the clay stuff gets mixed in with the soil? As you can see, we're novice gardeners. Please help us out!
When should you use fertilizer in your flower garden? I am a beginning gardner and just planted flowers in my flower bed. I mixed the dirt in the flower bed with bagged soil that contained fertilizer.

Any advice would be appreciated! I have no idea what I'm doing.

What is a good garden plant (flower or shrub) that would look nice next to a white peony bush.? My fiance and I are not seasoned gardeners and recently pulled up some dead bushes. We want to replace the bushes with something unique, pretty, but relatively easy to care for. I say we're not seasoned, but we're not incompetent or first-timers, either. We can handle a certain amount of responsibility in the gardening arena. Just nothing too terribly complicated. The plant -whatever it may be- will be sandwiched between two white peony bushes, so I would like it to complement those. It can be a flower or a pretty shrub; something that would look good now, and perhaps later in the year, too. I've already considered rose bushes, and there's already one nearby, anyway. Thanks!

Just finished digging a 10' diameter flower garden (Dianthus varities) in our front yard. Uncertain what the Just finished digging a 10' diameter flower garden (Dianthus varities) in our front yard. Uncertain what the next step should be. Yep, this is a first for me. The soil appears to be in really good shape and removed all weeds and roots. Should I cover the bed with plastic and cut holes then plant the flowers? If so, after the flowers are planted, should I put something (bark perhaps?) on top of the plastic? Will the plastic provide too much moisture and destroy the roots of this particular flower? Do I need to mix potting soil with the dirt in my bed? Again, this is my first flower bed and I need instruction. Do you know anything about this particualr kind of flower? Your responses will be deeply appreciated. P.S. I dont want to spend a fortune on upkeep. I live in central Kentucky. Thank you.

Attention gardeners: What flowers to plant in a 25 x 40 flower garden? My husband's father is very sick so he is off to see him every weekend leaving the garden planting to me this year (a first). I want it to be fantastic! We live in Nebraska to help with zones. I love petunias, and am looking for another flower or two to go with them. I really like the "row" look of a bed, not a jungle of flowers. Would appreciate your info as well as sites with pictures! Thanks! Egads! I might be biting off more than I can chew after reading some of these ideas! Details: Full sun, have herbs in pots, perenials are in other garden areas - we live on 12 acres. This annuals-only garden is for mainly for fresh cut bouquets, but you can see it well off the sunroom, so it needs to be attractive. I want the rows - do I still have to do the tall ones in the middle, and if so, how will you see the flowers behind it? Now after asking such a silly question, you can see who you are working with - a very beginning gardener! Thanks for all your ideas!!
