I want to plant a flower garden?

Lulu Bukowiecki: cannas are easy and like heat they are bulbs and will come back for years and bloom for months

Paul Maymi: What about a rock garden maybe for the back of the house? And flowers in the front where people actually see the house. Or rocks that match tan and brown

Patricia Bolduc: If your not a gardenter pay a pro to pull the bush out then he will get the roots too.I think the lowest maintenance would be bulbs.. tulips, daffoldils, iris are all self contained you can have them in the ground for a few years without spliting the extra corms and bulbs that grow. Iris are good summer flowers, while daffodils and tuplips are good for the springtime.You could plant a small azalea bush if your weather isn't too hot and you have a shady spot for it....Show more

Ariel Arons: Hi newbie gardener, there's a few things we need to know. When does the sun shine on that side of the house and for approx. how long? Has the soil been dug up before? The shru! b out front may have really long roots so it won't come out very easily , maybe cutting it back?, just shape it evenly and clean out dead limbs and branches. the fence flowers will need to know about sun again and soil.

Torri Tippey: I also want to get a fertilizer that will make my grass nice and green. I guess I have Bermuda? Idk. Not wanting to spend a lot of money

Karey Dunken: You may want to hire someone to give you advise on a long term plan to attain your goals. For someone who has zero experience to tackle this job is daunting. You could very well spend just as much time and energy for a dying garden that you could pay a pro to get you going in the right direction.If you desire "VERY low" maintenance, then your best bet is to do only indigenous species. There is a no fail rate with plants that are growing naturally in your area. Remember that....Show more

Tom Romer: Texas weather, hot hot hot in the summer.. Sun pretty much always hits the fr! ont of the house but the little garden in the back has a littl! e shade
