Your Questions About Gardening

Sandra asks…

I want to start a garden in the spring….where do I start?

I live in SW Florida, if it makes a difference.
On a canal.
What are some basic steps to begin growing a garden?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Know what your zone is for one, and what will grow in that zone. You can get some free garden catalogs off the internet for ideas. Start off with the easier plants and read up on the various varieties. If there is an agricultural extension center in your county they have should have a Master Gardener to talk to and help you with advice.

Donald asks…

Seeds, bulb & plant catalog?

We used to get a catalog with bunch of plants for sale, but I have no idea what it was called. Anyone know of one?

Mark asks…

How tall can daffodils grow?

Does anyone know how tall daffodils can grow to?

And does anyone know how tall the tallest daffodil was/is?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Well, garden catalogues claim some bulbs grow up to 65cm
If you’re prepared to stake them for support-sure you could make them grow taller.
Last year some of my Lily bulbs which were advertised to grow to 55-60cm grew to about 110 cm’s.
You just need something to lean them against though !
Daffs get blown over by the wind quite easily, and as they seem to flower only at the top, I’m not sure what the advantage would be in havng taller ones….
