Flower Garden Plans

can someone help me with this question? I think I know what to do but might be on the wrong path.?

john has 24m of fencing to make a rectangular flower garden. He plans to use his house as one side of the garden.
What dimensions will give the maximum "area"?

the area is a*b
the length is a + 2b = 24 ( since one side is the house ).

so you have to maximize the function Area(a,b) = a*b
substitute the connstraint a = 24 - 2b and you will get

Area(b) = (24-2b)*b

the function is a parabole with its max in the top, graph the function and you know the answer.

the zeros are b=0, b = 12, thus the top is on b = 6 and then a = 24-2*6 = 12
ant the area 6*12 = 72

Large planter box with soil and rocks?

I dont hve a green thumb but want to plant a large area in my garden. It is a box (18 ft long) filled with dirt, rocks, weeds and some old flower bulbs. I know I need to get out the old bulbs. But is the soil ok to keep?

Pull everything out and start fresh. Lay heavy cardboard in the bottom to prevent weeds from growing up through the new soil. The cardboard will break down over time, but slowly enough to keep the weeds down.
I have built my own raised planting beds and used the cardboard in the bottom of mine.

Physical Demands of Gardening?

When I was in my early 20s I rode motorcycles. I gave it up in my late 20s for the safer hobby of scuba diving. Now in my early 30s, I spend most of my free time gardening. It's more physically demanding than either of my old hobbies! After a weekend of very nice weather, my hands have blisters from using the bulb planter (I was wearing gloves) and my back kills from kneeling over my beds planting seeds and seedlings, and my body aches like after a very energetic workout even though I'm already in good shape physically and health-wise. Yet, I see 80 year old men and women easily gardening all the time. What are their old-timer secrets to making gardening less physically demanding?

I think the key is we accept our limits physically but never mentally. We garden smarter. I use tools that are ergonomically designed. 'Fine Gardening' has articles on good tool design. Jeff Taylor talks about the history, design, and use of garden tools.
PVC can fit on trowel handles to lengthen them, assisting in leverage. Some padding can be added from the bike shop. They now have foam and gel pads to use under the handle bar tape as well as foam bar end grips. This stuff was design for road use so it works in the garden just as well and now my tools all fit my hand. Weight is a problem for me so I have light versions for days when I hurt more.
I have redesigned the beds to be easier to reach. Not just that they are slightly raised from the path level but also in the lay out. Cottage gardening is all about function. The location of spigots, beds and sheds were set up to minimizes carrying or dragging in my case. I have easy to load carts and many trugs in various sizes. Boards for ramps and slings to carry help also.
I have installed spigots and an in ground watering system. I have trellised everything I can to cover every wall available. Then I mulch so weeds never get started in any mass.
I went from being a competitive cyclist to physically impaired so I had to relearn how to do all the things I once did in my garden. I admit I must have help to move really heavy or large items but mostly I work alone on about a quarter acre.
`` No occupation is as delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. I am still devoted to the garden. But though an old man, I am but a young gardener." THOMAS JEFFERSON

What are the most beautiful flowers to plant in your garden?

Just want to know. I love flowers and im planning on rebuilding my moms garden in the spring but i want to know what are some gorgeous flowers I could plant?

Sun flowers can be fun and interesting to grow, not to mention that they're beautiful! Try the Mammoth variety.

New England Aster's are beautiful and draw attention to the landscape.The American Horticultural Society lists it as a "Great Plant for American Gardens"

Roses: you cant go wrong with them! They're gorgeous and can easily be maintained.

Morning Glories are one of the only true blue flowers, and I just think they're so beautiful the way they climb!

Clematis's are great perennials and they're flowers are gorgeous. Be careful though, they spread badly.

Bleeding Hearts are delicately beautiful and do fantastic in the shade.

Butterfly Bush's can look fantastic if placed in bunches and in the right spot.

Lillie's are absolutely gorgeous and are a personal favorite of mine, coming in all sizes and colors.

Iris' also come in many sizes and colors, and have distinct flowers, similar to no others.

Black Magic Hollyhocks are mysteriously fascinating and I just love to see them bloom!

Tulips and Daffodils add color to the spring time too!

Happy Gardening!
