Q:thinking of starting a vegetable garden in east texas when i move there in a couple weeks. what kinds of veggies would do well in the heat/sun? should I water every day, twice a day? any info much appreciated!

Tomatoes and peppers are a great place to start, not to mention the beginnings of homemade salsa. :) Onions also do well. Just check out what the local Walmart and other home and garden centers have. The won't carry what you can't grow. Yes, water every day, twice if needed.

Q:I will be living in very south alabama, somewhat near florida. I want to make a garden in my back yard and the size of my garden is going to be 20 feet by 30 feet. What should I plant?I plan to plant marigolds since I believe bugs do not like the smell of marigolds and will stay away. Is this a good idea? How many marigolds should i plant?Tips and other information would also be appreciated.

If you are planting now, as a fall garden, you are limited to varieties (flowers and veggies) that tolerate cool temperatures. Members of the brassica family (collards, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, turnips, rutabagas, etc.) do well during the fall. Radish, beet, lettuce, carrot and parsnip do well also. On the other hand, corn, peas (except English(sweet) peas), melons, squash, etc. cannot tolerate the cool temps of fall and will not survive. There are also flower varieties that do well in the fall. Pansy is easy to grow and quite attractive. Do some research either online or at local garden shops. The local shops have people who know what grows well in your area and can recommend some varieties and explain their care requirements. I'm in N.W. Florida and have already planted most of my fall garden: collards, kale, Brussells sprouts, Oriental cabbage, kohlrabi, beet, turnip, rutabaga and mustard. I still have to get the parsnip seeds planted; they will go where my late potatoes are growing. I'll be harvesting them this weekend and planting the parsnip in about two weeks, after I amend the soil with some leaves and let them begin to decay. Good luck and enjoy!

Q:i have a new house and a builders yard as a garden. they have put topsoil on the rubbish (probably) the base is sandstone 500mm below. i wish to create a good green lawn / flower beds (shrubs, honeysuckle, jasmine, summer bed flowers)What can i do / add to the prepare the soil over the winter ready for grass seed / planting in spring?

Depending on where you live would have a lot to do with the grass. Right now, you can use lots and lots of mums, get some perennials like a butterfly plant, rhododendrums. Everyone I know likes to plant petunias for summer. I like moss rose, jacob's coat, mexican heather, elephant ears. I know that logging on to Home and Garden would help you about the mulch. Everyone has different opinions about the best type. Check out a local Home Depot or nursery for help with your soil preparation unless you get a good response from someone else. Good luck and happy planting.

Q:I have been told by family members that angels will not enter my home as we have dogs. The dogs are kept in the garden and are not permitted to enter the property. I myself will feed the creatures but will not allow them to touch me, but my son plays and strokes them. How do i maintain that my son is purified and cleansed after touching the dogs.

Bite your tongue! Angels love doggies and kitties! This concept of dogs as unclean comes from the past when vaccinations and treatments for fleas and etc were not available. Some people are filthier than some dogs I know. Actually having love for animals is more likely to bring the Mercies to you. Dogs were feral and uncared for in the Middle East and are still abused in Asia too. The Dog is man's best friend. They hunt, guard flocks, guard our homes, play with us and prolong our lives.
