Arria_11 asked:


I have just bought a house and the flower bed which is about 15′ x 4′ is over grown with weeds and dead flowers. How should I go about clearing it? Should I spray it with weed killer and then pull up all the weeds and flowers? Or should I just pull them up, I don’t want the weeds to come back. We have plans to plant a small tree and flowers but I want to make sure I treat the soil before I plant again. Any tips? Thanks!

Right now in my front flower bed I have Zinnias, they are the border beauty series I think and I would like to have something in the fall that has pretty flowers on them. Any good suggestions? Also I live in Texas so its pretty hot right now.

I have tried several beautiful flowers in my flower beds in front of my house but they just don’t last in this Florida heat even though I water them well in the evenings. What flowers can I plant either annuals or perenials that will last in our heat?

I have a flower bed up against the back of my house and which is completely covered by the overhead deck. I want to plant some plants there, but don’t know which flowers grow best in very shaded areas? Also there is a large rabbit population in my neighborhood and would like to plant flowers that the rabbits wouldn’t be so eager to eat.

Thank you in advance.

I am new at this flower bed stuff and i dont know my flowers and plants very well. I love doing it but i need some information on different types of plants that grow well in arkansas. Please let me know what plant you like and describe it to me or send picture. Just trying to get ideas for my own gardens. I love gardening and tropical type plants, but i like all flowers really.

Mandy asked:


We just bought our house last summer and we are totally clueless to landscaping. There is a flower bed about 6×1 right outside the entrance walkway. Ofcourse there is nothing but weeds in it right now but I would like to put something in there that is easy to maintain that can resist alot of direct sun. We’re in Texas and temps can get up to 105. Any ideas? Also, do I plant seeds or the flowers you get in the little containers. Much detail is requested as I have no idea what to do.
