How do I start a flower garden?

Lisa F asked:


I live in NC and I’d like to start a small flower garden in front of my home. It’s in an area that gets sunlight periodically during the day. I believe there used to be flowers there because there’s a decorative brick border around the area but it’s overrun with weeds and there are no flowers there now. The soil is pretty good I’d say…not too dry or hard. How do I start a flower garden? I’m interested in some periennials and some annuals…can those be grown together?

What plants do you put in it, is it too late in the year to plant a flower garden in Missouri? I think its called a rain garden…

My dogs are undergoing deworming now but I am concerned that the eggs can last for years in the garden–and thus they will be reinfected. Is there any way to kill the eggs in the garden? Many thanks for your thoughts here!

My garden is large and beautiful, but they won’t let me in. They drive me away with thornes from my rose plant. How can I be allowed back in my garden?

I saw this on a tv show, and it looked cute. You put all the ingredients to make salsa, in its own garden. They are supposed to grow well together, but I don’t know how to grow them., Then you can make homaid salsa from your garden.

I have a large garden and need to water often. We are in the grip of the worst drought on record.
My pump works at 55 psi and has 200 gal per min output , I think it can handle 6 sprinklers at once.

I know that compost is generally added to the soil, and then tilled in, but would a garden grow in only compost? And would it grow well?

Rebekah asked:


Im 14 years old, (I’ll be 15 years old on Sunday, Feb. 25th) and I am wanting to start a garden from scratch this summer.

I would like to grow raspberries, and any pretty flowers that will grow in a kinda sunny and shady area.

I don’t know anything about gardening, not even when to start on, so if you could please give me some advice and tips for my garden, I would be very grateful… Thanks!
