How to Design a Perennial Garden : Expanding Your Perennial Garden
What's the Difference Between Annual Plants and Perennial Plants?
I'm starting my first garden and I'm a little clueless!
Annual plants are only for that season...and they die after the season...Perennials come back year after year. After their blooming season they die back to the ground and are dormant for the winter usually. Annuals are usually the most colorful and popular plants that you will see when looking for new plants...like in the summer petunias are the must have annual for color, in the winter pansies are the must have...You usually mix in the annuals and perennials when you plant your flower bed for depth, color, sizes, foilage, etc....When your annuals die back after their growing season, you can clean them out of the flower bed or you can cut them back and leave them to have richer soil. When your perennials die back in winter, wait until they have completely lost all color and look dead, then cut them back to the ground. You still must take care of them even though they are dormant..water them...but not as much as in the summer, they won't require that much b/c it's not so hot. Hope this helps!
How do you keep dogs from digging up flower gardens while they are chasing chipmunks?
I have lost a favorite Heuchera and two Hostas this year already. The dogs must stay, getting rid of them is not an option.
Short of following the dogs around with a trainer of some type, you really have to approach the chipmunk problem. Pepper preparations will help with both dog and chipmunk predation, but it has to be really strong and it has to be re-applied often. Another possibility would be the peppermint oil that we use to get rid of mice, moles and shrews. Probably best of all would be one of the natural dog repellent products on the market. Liquid Fence makes a dog and cat repellent which is effective. The main ingredient is fox urine, I think. Does not smell good, so don't use it indoors. It should work for your flower beds
Flower Garden can I use the natural woodchips to help with the growth my flower garden?
2years ago a tree fell and landed in my backyard, everything is fine now. I was digging around the stump and came across a nest of larvae from the stage beetle, I'm going to preserve the nest. Now , what I want to know is can I use that area for my flower garden (pepper mint and lavender)or will the beetles or their larvae eat my plants?
Stag Beetle? Stag Beetle larva eat rotting deciduous wood, not live plants or roots. Adult beetles live on liquids such as tree sap. They will do no harm to a garden. As far as wood chips, clean up as much as you can before planting. As wood decomposes, it uses up needed nitrogen for the process. A heavy concentration of chips in the soil can prevent anything from growing until they have completely broken down unless you add plenty of extra nitrogen. Also, if the tree was a Walnut, Butternut, Hickory, or Pecan there will be a substance in the wood and soil called Jugalone, which inhibits the growth of many other plants or can even kill some.
I want to start a garden, but I am not sure what plants grow well around where I live. I actually do not know anything about plants. I read online that I live in zone 10b (Miami,Fl) I guess that means I can only grow plants that grow in that zone. Does anyone have any tips on how to start a garden? I want to grow nice flowers & green plants. I just don't know where to begin. Thanks to whoever answers.

Who do you think will be the top country once US economic and military power goes down?
I think its China
Come on weve only been a superpower for what 60 years. Its the way of the world we will go down...
it would definitely be china.
but i dont think america would go down. it's invested itself too much as being the top country in the world. america still has the top military and one of the most competitive economies.
what i'm really sick of is how all these americans brag about how badass their country is and how inferior other countries are. WAKE UP RETARDS. AMERICA HOLDS THE LABEL FOR TOP WORLD POWER. they are EXPECTED to maintain their power. if they can't, then they have no business acting as the world police. it's nothing to brag about.
