Q:Ive been thinking of subscribing to some magazines, I don't know much about gardening but I'd like to start one next spring, vegetables and flowers, and I'll prolly be planting some stuff this fall too (tulips! maybe other stuff too?) So some magazines with lots of information and tips would be nice. I was thinking of getting better homes and gardens, but I'm not sure, maybe that and another one.. Any suggestions?

Blooms Birds, or Birds Blooms. I can never remember which way it's suppose to be even though we subscribe to it. Lot's of interesting and educational articles worth reading.

Q:I already have squash, cucumber, tomatoe, corn, cantaloupe, and purple hall peas and okra.

Hello~! I have a home garden myself. You've already got a pretty good garden going, I'd say! :) A few that I suggest are potatoes (they're really easy to grow- just cut a potato in half and stick it in the ground, really- you'll have two potato plants then!), lettuce (salad staple and goes with many foods around the house), carrots (also easy and fun to grow) and any kind of herb really. I grow basil, lemon balm, and mint. They come in handy for any kind of home cooking. (: Also, a tip: Make sure the plants you want to grow in your garden are appropriate for the climate you live in. Always double check. I tried growing tomatoes once and the dry hot air just about killed them. Have fun!

Q:My husband and I just bought our first home. We have been living in apartments for years and know nothing about gardening, etc.We pulled up a bunch of dead flowers, bushes, etc. around the house and now want to replant some. We know that we should plant perrenials, as I don't want to do this every year. I would like something that brings a little color to the garden. We have three different areas to plant them in. Two of the areas are not shaded, one is partially shaded.Any suggestions?

One thing nice about mother nature - If you plant a flower it pretty much knows what to do. You definately don't need to be an expert to garden and you learn as you go. Go to the garden store and just plant what you love. Check the tags to make sure that you are planting in the right area (Full Sun - Part Sun - Shade) My absolute favorite Perennials are Daylilies. They are easy to grow and I love to find different varieties. Congratulations on your new home and gardens. I'm sure you will become an expert gardener soon. Gardening can be addictive.

Q:I like Better Homes and Garden and Oprah.

Q:Do cucumbers planted in home garden need to be watered once a day or twince a day ? If there are two or more new small cucumbers on one branch, will they all become fruits that can be reaped ?

I live in Southeast Missouri and our cucumbers thrive like crazy every year from watering once a day in the morning or very early afternoon. If the ground stays too wet the fruit will rot before it grows big enough to pick.

Q:I'm looking to make an easy to maintain container garden using a large Roman-esque pot. I'm looking for some design ideas that include height in the center with a mound and edging flora. Plant choices that include color and/or fragrance would be excellent as well. This container will sit in a semi-shaded area on the front porch in Southern California.
