Planting a Farie Garden

Reply:I lived near Oak Ridge and had a terrific vegetable garden: tomatoes, cukes, green beans (the bush variety). I mulched using grass clippings so my feet wouldn't get muddy between the rows. I tried corn but didn't do as well in Tennessee as I had in Alabama, maybe because the soil is rockier. As far as flowers -- I'd recommend trying anything you can get at your local nursery, Home Depot, or Lowe's. Just follow the planting instructions on the tag as far as sun or shade. And water using Miracle Gro. I'll bet everything you try turns out fine!



Sorry, I'm not much of a flower arranger -- I mostly enjoyed the flowers while they were alive and growing by looking out the windows at them!
Reply:Go to your local nursery or Home Depotor Lowes and see what they are selling.



Iris are great for flower arranging,also any kind Lily except a day lily they only last a day, my favourite flower is Peony
Reply:Zinnias are easy to grow and great for arranging.
