Planting wildflowers around my veggie garden- Good Plan? I'm going to have a garden 50' x90' and an addition 20x'40' with tomatoes. I was planning on planting a 2-4 foot wide strip of mixed wildflowers round the edge to help attract bees and stuff. Is this a good plan? I'm running drip irgation to the garden, will the flowers need to be watered this way also? I'm in zone 7 with very sandy soil. Thanks in advance! To reply to 3rd comment: The garden will be in a already fenced area which has a wide gate for tractor access and I'll be planting the flowers around outside the fence so it wont be hindering the garden at all. The Tomatoes will be grown right next to the fenced area where last years garden was so they are connected and easy access. I'm planting so much becauce I will be home canning most of it from my family and close relatives. We have sucessfully grown everything before, I just want to do it bigger and better then before. We have gotten a tractor and plows so it wont be as big of a chore. Plus we're multching everything and combined with the drip irrgation that should keep alot of the weeds down. I'm a stay at home mom so I've got the time it will take. I've even got the wildflower seeds already due to some deaths in the family and they make thoes packets up for people and we have a bunch left over. Thanks for the thoughts and advice from everyone!

Can anyone suggest an edging for my small front garden? I have a very small front garden which is paved and open plan. At the moment I have flower tubs on it but children tend to play around there and because it's open plan they pick my flowers etc. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a cheap edging to put around the garden (it's a weird shape) just to discourage small children from playing on there, bearing in mind that it is paved and not soil. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks for answers so far. Can I just explain that I live in a quiet country village at the bottom of a cul-de-sac NOT a city/town/built up area.

I am not averse to the children playing, just want to define my area a bit more. These are 2-4 year old children who really shouldn't be playing out on their own but because we live in such a quiet rural area their parents think they are safe. I just wanted to make it clear that we are not dealing with older children or an inner-city area here, just a little garden definition. Sorry for confusion.

Is the Moon Flower vine as invasive as Morning Glories are? I started some Moon Flowers indoors and want to plan where I'm going to plant them. If they're invasive, I'll plant them farther from the rest of my garden. Will they choke other plants by spiraling around them? Will they self sow and become a nuisance?

How many flowers does a tulip plant produce?? I am planning to grow tulips in my garden. The flowers look beautiful but I have really not seen a second flower growing (after the first flower dies or breaks). I want to know how it works. After the first flower blossoms and dries up, do more flowers grow on it one after the other or the plant then is a total waste??

I wonder whether there are any plans or flowers that you can grow for winter in Scotland(eastern part)? I've got some empty pots and they look boring in my garden. I'd really appreciate your advice on planting during winter time. Promise to give the highest score for a reasonable answer!!

What do I do with my compost pile? So I thought I'd get a head start on my garden planning last year, and I threw all of the dog poop from the yard into the compost pile that I'm starting. Now it's the spring, and I'd like to get serious about this pile, but I'm reading that you shouldn't compost dog poop because of harmful viruses and parasites. Do I have to start over? Or can I just use what I've got on my flowers but not my veggies?

Should you need planning permission to plant a tree in your garden? Some of them get so big they can block light from neighbors property. Also the roots could damage foundations. You are not allowed to plant what you want in your allotment and you can be prosecuted for planting flowers on waste ground
