Garden is a big area. How can i use different solar garden lights to light up my whole garden?

I live and garden in the desert Southwest. I’ve learned how to garden around killer hot summers and super alkaline soil. So, far the places I visit most are the Garden Web Arizona forum and the University of Arizona agricultural sites. What about you? Where do you learn about growing herbs and veggies?

Ok, I grew a radish in my front yard garden and the leaves are already there. Its been about 4-5 days since I planted it, so I’m really happy about that. But in the back yard garden is where I planted all the other radishes and squashes( which are sepperated.) is always dry so I have to water them every single day and that takes alot of time doing that because its a big garden. I tried the sprinkler but the garden is behind a tree so it hardly gets wet!!! Is there a way I can keep it moist without me watering it everyday?

I want to start a little garden, but heres the problem. I live in an apt. with a small pattio (ground floor)So i cant actually use their soil, I see it in my mind but know nothing of gardening, all house plants i have ever had have died very quickly and it didnt help that my cats ate them too…any sugestions for a good outdoor garden I could do in pots and would be hard for me to kill?

I want to build a butterfly/Hummingbird Garden. I would like to know what kind of flowers do butterflies and hummingbirds most attract to? I really want to do this, its a way to help keep different butterflies and Hummingbird speices serve. If anyone has any tips they will surely be taking into consideration.

I can only plant my vegetable garden near a black walnut tree. Something in the tree make-up prevents certain plants from growing. Which ones do better than others. Thank you
There is sun but the drip line of the tree is close to the garden.

I would like to grow tulips from that bulb thing, but I dont know what time month or time is ready to plant it. I also would like to know where I can get the tulip bulb and what is the best soil to plant it in. If there is any other thing I might need to know, please tell me.(thank you)

I want to cut my tulips and bring them in the house. how should i cut them and what water temp should i put in the vase and what other solutions should i put in the water ie: soda, bleach etc etc? I have heard so many tips and wives tales.

Our high school EAST class is planning to plant a butterfly garden. We need plants for the butterflies and caterpillars to eat and lay their eggs on. What plants attract them and which ones will suit the purposes stated in the previous sentence. (These are Arkansas-native butterflies, so please give AR plants) Thanks so much!

I have a shaded area next to my garage that is suitable for garden but it is shaded most of the day. What might grow here?
