hi everyone
i am a "beginer gardener". i have had marigolds, snapdragons and lilies in the past........out of them the marigolds was what i didnt kill the most lol. that was when i was living at home with my folks....now my hubby and i have a house together and i really want to get into gardening more. i was wondering if anyone has ever planted dahlias before? (the other ones i got were impatients but i know how to take care of those and also bagonias also know how to take care of those). my quesiton is for the dahlias, how often do you water them and also whenever the dead bud is on it where do i pinch the bulb/stem so that a new one can grow back? how often do you use miracle grow on them too? i tried to look it up on the web and not really finding any luch. i was wondering if someone can please help me out? also have a tree in the front yard, was thinking about getting rid of the bushes around it (they are uneven and kinda just dont look right) what would be some good flowers to plant around there? i was thinking a tiny flower (arogenium?? its a tiny purple flower). thanks in advance!!! 10 points for best answer. and please no smart answers either.
