Question by chinarain53: Does anyone have any great ideas on gardening a gravesite. Flowers, small bushes and such?
I have been tending a family plot for several years. Then my grandmother passed last August, and all my gardening was upheaved. But now the plot is full, nobody else will be buried there any more, and I would need to start from scratch. Any ideas on planting flowers that will come back next year and maybe a small type bush?

Answer by Brad
You left out what growing zone you are in. One very awesome ground cover is roman chamomile … it’s perennial, not to be confused with German chamomile which is an annual. It’s beautiful … covered with little daises in the summer, and stand up to walking on. When touched it gives off the smell of apples.
A small tough, but very fragrant shrub I like is a type of fragrant rose that needs no care an stand up to harsh conditions … rosa rugosa.

Question by deadchinado11: What is your favorite gardening site for flowers?
I don’t know much about gardening. I’ve lived in apartments all my life, and I still do… but my landlord is letting me play with a patch of land outside my kitchen window. I live near Salt Lake City, UT. The weather looks like it might be spring.

so… what is the URL of a gardening site that has helped you? Any sites good for beginners?

How can i take care of tulips?

Fri, 14 May 2010 11:00:22 +0000

I have tulips which recently have flowers, but i dont know where to keep them, how often to water them. And in which kind of a pot should i keep them?

What is the problem with my tulips?

Wed, 05 May 2010 23:33:55 +0000

This happens every time I plant tulip bulbs… The first season they come up they are beautiful. Tall, full blooms.

Each year after, they seem more and more clumped, like they are strangling each other. They also have shorter stems and scanty flowers.

This does not happen with my hyacinths. They are lovely and full year after year.

What is happening with my tulips? Do other bulbs do this as well?

What should I do to have nice roses?

I just bought a house and it has 6 rose bushes on it. I have never worked with roses let a lone in a garden. I am clueless. I am not even sure they are roses. It has thorns but the flower comes in batches of 3. The flower looks like a rose so I am just assuming.

I also see a vine growing around one of the bushes which I am trying to cut of it. Is that okay? All the bushes are out of direct sunlight and seam to be doing well. At the tipes of some of the bushes the stems look dead. Should I trim the stems that have no leaves? Should I cut of the flowers after a few days? How often should I water them? Again any info is good info. I am a putz when it comes to gardening.
