Q:My yard is sandy, and even struggles growing grass. However I am tired of the pure ugliness, I want to grow a garden, However with the poor growing conditions I need the name of flowers and plants that would grow easy, in sandy dirt, and less sunshine. Any names of plants and flowers.

I'm pretty sure that cati/cactus will grow in sandy areas and most of them bloom during the year. You can also try putting in a raised platform and putting dirt in it to grow a bigger assortment of flowers plants. If you live in a generally sandy area, you should be able to go to your local home garden center and ask them for recommendations. They always seem to know whats best for your area! Good Luck! P.S. Rock gardens are always an option as well. And they require very little maintenance.

Q:What do you grow?

My whole house is a garden room. Cyperus papyrus, cyperus altifolia, cyperus haspan, 6 types of ferns, apostle plants, 2 varieties of pothos, grape leaf ivy, geranium, 4 types impatiens, emerald plants, alocasia, coleus, verbena, coral bells, now where is my dog? and lots of other plant babies. March will begin starting seeds indoors -- plantaholic.

Q:Besides using bird houses, feeders, and baths. Do you use your flower beds and landscaping to attract birds to your yard? What plants do you use? How do you layout your garden in respect to birdbaths, feeders and houses?

Keep feeders and baths near trees or shrubs where the birds can go for cover if needed. When I put one of my feeders near the pines in my yard, I found more came to feed. Almost all birds like sunflowers, but thistle (niger) seed will attract finches (my favorite) and black-capped chickadees. There are many plants that attract hummingbirds, look online and you will find tons of sites. Buy a hummingbird feeder and make your own nectar using 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Some say you have to boil it but I don't and I get lots of birds. If you want more than one hummingbird feeder in your yard, I would suggest putting one in the front and one in the back because they are quite territorial and you won't see as many. Good luck and have fun, the work is worth it!

Q:backyard gardens?

Here's okorder /

Q:Someone asked the question a few days ago about the possibility of changing the name of garden and landscape or creating another category for the the youngsters that are always asking about caring for their weed. I hate to think of anyone contributing to these kids ruining their health, or worse, and maybe those questions should be banned altogether. But while we're at it, how about another new category for answers only, titled quot;Don't have a clue, but feel compelled to answer anywayquot;?

Hello Hundo, I think this is a good idea in one way because for me this is so up-setting to constantly seeing these questions appear so frequently. It is so sad but this is reality in today's world. Years ago I was a counselor for kids with many types of drug problems and alcoholics of all ages. This behavior starts usually as the child is growing up and it sprouts up just like a new seedling in the spring some where we least expect it to.
